High power density
The latest generation of semiconductors are able to carry +20% more current. The increase in power density translates into higher operational efficiency, reduced footprint, and increased reliability.
Grid-enSure™
Resilience and stability redefined
The new challenges for energy players
The world's energy grids are evolving at an unprecedented pace due to changes in the generation mix, load demand and power eco-system. Without the right actions, the future grid will be more complex, weaker, less controllable, more decentralized,
and less resilient
Weakness of the grid
The rise in distributed renewable energy sources has decentralized power production. This shift is essential for sustainability but also requires significant adjustments in grid management.
Decentralization of the grid
The decentralization of the grid and the integration of diverse energy sources necessitate sophisticated control systems capable of active demand response.
Lack of resilience and stability of the grid
There is a growing need for technologies providing synthetic inertia, reactive power support, and advanced grid controls to support grid stability.
