Smart Wires Inc. is headquartered in the Research Triangle Park of North Carolina and describes itself as a team of over 100 experts across four continents. The company states that it has deployed grid-enhancing technologies across three continents, unlocking over 5 gigawatts of capacity, with active deployments in more than 15 countries and over 40 transmission circuits worldwide. Its primary product, SmartValve, is an advanced power flow control solution built on a patented static synchronous series compensator (m-SSSC) that injects a series voltage in quadrature with line current to change a line's effective reactance. Smart Wires also provides Analytics advisory and consulting services to transmission owners and operators, including studies for generation and load connections, power system planning, and technology integration.
