UNITROL 1000 Automatic voltage regulators (AVR)

The ABB UNITROL^® 1000 product family covers a wide range of applications for voltage regulation tasks of a synchronous machines ranging from 100kVA to 80MVA which ensures stable control of synchronous generator or motor voltage, providing rapid response to load changes and maintaining required voltage levels, even in harsh environments.

 With over 40,000 installations worldwide across various industries such as power plants, marine systems, diesel-electric locomotives and emergency power systems, UNITROL 1000 is a reliable and crucial and component for efficient and consistent power generation.

 The UNITROL 1000 series comprises three Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs) - UNITROL 1005, 1010, and 1020 - which can be easily integrated in combination with automation and electrical systems and advanced digital services.

 UNITROL® 1000 is also available as part of pre-engineered systems, COMPACT and FLEXplus. Conveniently mounted on a backplate, pre-wired, pre-tested, and ready for installation, these systems are the ideal solution for fast and efficient projects where time is of the essence.

• Maximized operating time
• Ensures safe machine operation
• Guarantees the quality of delivered energy
• Seamless integration with the power plant control systems
• Easy of use of commissioning and maintenance platform (CMT1000)
• Enhanced features to ensure a leaner and faster grid code compliance process 
  

The UNITROL 1000 Compact System is a pre-engineered excitation system, conveniently mounted on a backplate for easy installation and seamless integration with any generator control system. When space and speed are critical, this small, pre-packaged, and pre-tested system ensures successful project delivery. It comes standard with the UNITROL 1020 FULL, compliant with DNV Cyber Security Profile 1 (IACS UR E27), which is based on the industry standard IEC 62443-3-3 security level 1.

 As one of the smallest systems in its category, it is ideal for new installations or upgrade projects where space is limited. The system is available in single or dual channel configurations, with optional Power System Stabilizing (PSS) capabilities to ensure grid code compliance.

The UNITROL 1000 FLEXplus System offers pre-engineered solutions designed for greater flexibility. It can be configured in single or dual channel setups and includes an I/O extension module to support more complex system integrations.

 For enhanced safety, the system can optionally be equipped with an earth fault relay and Power System Stabilizing (PSS) capabilities to ensure grid code compliance
