CE+T Power Launches Groundbreaking Energy Storage Platform for Improved Renewable Integration and Grid Efficiency

This presentation describes a company's innovative approach to energy conversion and storage, transitioning from traditional lab settings to practical applications. The company has developed a versatile power conversion platform that incorporates microgrid functions into single systems using generic interfaces and components. This adaptable platform is designed for future renewable sources through modular converters with uniform characteristics. A key product focuses on scalable energy storage solutions supporting grid operations by efficiently managing battery charge-discharge processes (98.5% efficiency). It features bidirectional AC-DC capabilities suitable for both European and US markets within specific voltage ranges (AC: 260-535 volts; DC: 300-900 volts) and can scale up from individual cabinets of up to 240 kilowatts to multi-cabinet setups reaching one megawatt. Development involved advanced simulation techniques like software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing, ensuring robust performance while minimizing prototyping risks. Testing emphasizes system robustness in grid interaction over mere performance or cost-efficiency, adhering to standards like AS4777 which require equipment such as inverters to adjust production based on frequency variations due to demand-production imbalances—ensuring reliability and quality support for the grid. Silicon carbide technology enhances operational efficiency by significantly reducing losses compared with previous generations, achieving peak efficiencies at nominal DC voltages without sacrificing output capability despite reduced size requirements.
