Enoda PRIME Exchanger

Active power flow technology

The Enoda PRIME® Exchanger bridges analog and digital technologies to provide real time electricity signal correction, delivering on-target frequency and voltage, increasing grid capacity, resilience, and stability in LV distribution networks.

Enoda PRIME® technology is unique, enabling bi-directional energy flow, delivering a huge leap in grid capacity, resilience, and stability.  

ENODA innovates in close relationship to the fundamental principles of physics, delivering a quantum shift in the control of electromagnetic force in energy systems. ENODA combines breakthrough design solutions in electromagnetics, power electronics and predictive control to deliver stable target signals, materially reduce network losses and carbon emissions, as well as providing carbon free essential balancing services.

The Enoda PRIME® Exchanger is a fundamentally transformative grid technology that will redefine the possibilities of the energy system.

  • Enoda PRIME® enables a non-linear increase in grid capacity with targeted fleet roll-out.

    An Enoda PRIME® enabled grid becomes the primary source of system stability, and as such significantly increases wind and solar capacity, while making it possible for jurisdictions to achieve their targets for the electrification of loads including adoption of EVs, heat pumps and air-conditioning.

    Electrified loads and renewable generation can be the lowest cost and greenest solution to humanity’s future needs. However this objective is only possible under conditions of grid stability. Enoda PRIME® makes it possible to make use of low-cost green resources and to electrify our loads because it makes the grid agnostic to the nature of supply and demand.

  • An agnostic grid can be made possible by Enoda PRIME® substantially increasing network resilience and cyber security with autonomous, instantaneous decentralised control, based on real-time network conditions.

    Enoda PRIME® Exchangers are anti-fragile, designed to significantly increase system reliability and meet consumer needs by reducing system constraints that themselves have become a threat to system stability.

    Enoda PRIME® is designed with multiple tiers of redundancy. In the event of a central systems failure, Prime will continue to autonomously target stable system operating parameters, unlike traditional generation and distribution.

    Enoda PRIME® is designed to “fail safe” to passive operation, which helps maintain system uptime.

  • Enoda PRIME® delivers an optimal waveform by dynamically controlling all key vectors of voltage, current, frequency and phase.

    An Enoda PRIME® network regulates system frequency, voltage, phase, and power factor destabilised by unpredictable modern switched loads, and volatile, variable renewables.

    The unique design of Enoda PRIME® enables passive efficiency and resilience established at the fundamental level of physics, and not possible in other hybrid power technologies.

  • Enoda PRIME® optimises power flow by signal correction in real time, reducing asset-ageing and damage from signal volatility, noise, and harmonics. Grid operators struggling to justify the demand for expensive add-on technologies benefit from PRIME® systematically reducing opex and capex.

    Enoda PRIME® radically increases utility capital capacity while providing near lossless power flow optimisation and stability services.

    Enoda PRIME® Exchangers provide an ideal resistive load to the network, locally balancing loads and phases, improving efficiency and materially reducing the need for grid reinforcement.

  • Enoda PRIME® is the underpinning technology enabling the essential transition of electricity networks from a one-way system to a “many to many” platform. This will evolve the energy system to be fit for purpose; distributing variable renewable energy resources, managing the consumer’s electrification of demand, and the as yet unimagined innovations that will underwrite future human welfare. Enoda PRIME® de-constrains a quasi-static distribution system supplying passive consumers and dependent on fossil fuel centric synchronised generation.

Features

  • Commitment to the essential nature of system reliability has resulted in a design that “fails safe” to passive voltage transformation to help maintain system uptime

  • Backward compatibility is maximised by matching the footprint of a similar power rated transformer

  • Isolated secure access to electronic modules

  • Electromagnetic optimality allows for air cooling

  • Information systems are fully redundant and designed to maintain full operation in isolated distributed control mode
