The Power Conversion System for industrial and public power grids

SINAMICS PCS

The transition of power grids to accommodate the increasing decentralized infeed of renewable sources is posing new challenges for our industry customers. How can load peaks be handled effectively? How can the procurement costs resulting from the use of battery storage systems be reduced over the long term? How can fluctuations in voltage quality be brought under control? And how can they improve the energy efficiency of their power distribution system? Such questions are exactly why we developed the new SINAMICS PCS (Power Conversion System) grid-converter, as the right choice with minimal efforts for configuration and integration in industrial and public power grids.

DC-DC Converters

DC-DC Converters for industrial applications

In industry, the focus is on maximum productivity, energy efficiency, and component reliability In addition, the reduction of CO2 greenhouse gases is a constant challenge. This requires a tailor-made solution for each specific task. Power grids are becoming increasingly volatile as more and more renewable energy sources feed power into them. This can also have an impact on the stability of industrial networks. DC-DC Converters make it possible to integrate storage systems into the driver line-up. So, for example, regenerative energy can be stored temporarily and then be used for the process as required. The stored energy can also be supplied to the drive line-up in the event of peak load requirements or power failures. Siemens offers DC-DC Converters from the SINAMICS product family for these different applications.
