| D-VAR ® Solutions - Dynamic VAR Support for a More Reliable Grid |
| D-VAR (Dynamic VAR) reactive compensation systems provide a powerful and cost-effective source of dynamic VARs for a wide range of operational needs. |
|
| They can correct voltage instability problems on transmission networks; provide dynamic steady-state voltage and power factor control and regulation on transmission and distribution networks; protect industrial facilities requiring premium power quality; and support a stable point of interconnection for distributed generation facilities and large-scale wind farms. Classified as Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices, D-VAR systems utilize an American Superconductor proprietary and advanced control and monitoring system that detects and instantaneously compensates for voltage disturbances by injecting leading or lagging reactive power, measured in VARs (volt amperes ¨C reactive), precisely where it is needed on the grid. D-VAR systems are extremely flexible and scalable, ranging from 2 MVAR to hundreds of MVAR. |

| PQ-SVC™ Solution |
| The AMSC PQ-SVC (Power Quality Static VAR Compensator) solution eliminates voltage sags and flicker, giving electric distribution companies and large electric users the most cost-effective way to connect large loads to circuits. These Mobile Distribution Assets are highly portable, modular, and can be field-modified reducing the costs normally associated with upgrades. We routinely solve problems caused by starting large motors, metal shredders and crusher, operating sawmills, pump-or-pipeline stations, shipyards, coalmines, feed plants or kindred processes. We can also cure arc furnace flicker and stabilize transmission lines. |

| PQ-IVR™ Solution |
| The AMSC PQ-IVR (Power Quality-Industrial Voltage Restorer) systems offer large industrial customers a superior solution to disruptive power quality problems. Each PQ-IVR system can detect power quality problems within milliseconds, and counteract them before they turn into costly productivity problems. PQ-IVR systems incorporate our latest PowerModule? power electronic converters and can be configured with or without stored real energy from a superconductor magnet to meet a wide range of customer requirements. |
