CRIMSON POWER TECH  TECHNOLOGY

Till now, no existing mitigation strategy has proven fully effective in addressing SSR and SSO, and significant events continue to be reported worldwide. The challenges have grown more severe with the increasing integration of power electronic devices into the grid. Our R&D revealed that prior SSR mitigation approaches were developed along fundamentally flawed pathways, failing to address the true mechanisms driving SSR/SSO development. 

Our inventive technology (United States Patent Application No. 63/678,582) introduces a transformative new perspective on the root causes of SSRs/SSOs in series-compensated transmission grids. Building on this insight, we have developed two breakthrough technologies that not only mitigate SSRs/SSOs but also enhance the efficiency of series compensation. The first is a network-based mitigation technology, targeting system-wide stability improvements of the transmission grid. The second is a generator-based or inverter-based mitigation technology, addressing oscillatory risks directly at their source. Both solutions are cost-effective, scalable, and capable of enabling operation at 100% compensation levels without inducing SSOs. This breakthrough translates into:

• Technical Value: Maximized power transfer capability, improved voltage stability, enhanced reliability of transmission networks, while effectively mitigating protection challenges associated with series capacitor compensation. 

• Economic Value: Low-cost, scalable mitigation technologies that reduce infrastructure and operational expenses while unlocking higher utilization of existing grid assets.

• Market Value: Broad applicability across synchronous generators, wind and solar farms, EV charging infrastructure, HVDC, STATCOMs, and inverter-based data centers.

• Social Value: Strengthened energy security, support for renewable integration, and a more resilient and sustainable electric grid.

Our near-term goal is to support electric utility companies in mitigating SSOs while maximizing series compensation efficiency, and to help IBR (inverter-based resources) OEMs ensure stability and reliability in series-compensated networks. This urgent challenge represents not only a critical need but also a strategic entry point for launching and scaling our company.

Beyond initial market adoption, we plan to sustain long-term competitive advantage through continuous R&D investment and the commercialization of additional cutting-edge innovations we have recently developed in power systems and power electronics.
