PSW Power & Automation’s grid support solutions keep power systems stable
- Published 30 September 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Listed for Europe under Energy, Battery, Maritime, Industrial production and Smart cities.
- PSW combines power electronics, battery storage, controls and microgrid technology for grid-support systems. Functions named include fast voltage and frequency regulation, peak shaving, reactive-power compensation, renewable integration, and operation in both grid-connected and islanded modes. The solutions are described as scalable and adaptable to utility, grid-operator and industrial applications.
- The page says electrification, rising peak demand and variable wind/solar generation can cause voltage and frequency deviations, congestion and outages, especially where capacity is limited. PSW says its systems can improve stability, reliability and power quality, make better use of existing capacity and defer infrastructure upgrades while reducing operating costs and emissions. Coordinated energy resources can also be used in energy markets.
- Market context cites a grid-modernisation market estimate of USD 98.5 billion in 2026 and forecast of USD 145.2 billion by 2033. PSW describes itself as a full-service STATCOM project and utility-scale UPS provider and also lists energy storage, shore power, data-centre systems, energy modules and marine batteries.
- Linked to SDGs 7 (Affordable and clean energy), 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure) and 11 (Sustainable cities and communities) for renewable integration and stronger energy infrastructure.
