Main Accountabilities

Hitachi Energy is the world leader in Power Quality Solution - PQS (former- FACTS) (Flexible AC Transmission System) technology and offers a full PQS portfolio with in-house manufacturing of key components. Hitachi Energy was the first to introduce PQS to the power industry and has delivered PQS equipment for more than 50 years. Today Hitachi Energy is the recognized world leader with more than 50 percent of the global market share and more than 700+ installed bases. Hitachi Energy has a number of solutions that enhance the security, capacity and flexibility of power transmission systems. These solutions enable power grid owners to increase existing transmission network capacity while maintaining or improving the operating margins necessary for grid stability. Hitachi Energy has the full FACTS portfolio and in-house manufacturing of key components

Hitachi Energy uses a very high-end system for its control, protection and monitoring. This system is called as MACH. This computerized system is built with the state-of-the-art electronics, microprocessors and digital signal processors, connected by high performance industry standard busses and fiber optic communication links.

Hitachi Energy PQS Electrical Engineering (EE) is responsible for the designing of MACH hardware control and Protection system, IED based Control & Protection system, Configuration & testing of Protection system, Auxiliary AC & DC system design including MV/LV Switch boards, Battery systems, UPS, Voltage stabilizers, LV Cable sizing and estimation & Interlocking systems
