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.

+20%

more current

Boosts the integration of renewable energy

Increases power transfer & unlocks capacity

Higher switching frequency

The higher switching frequency of the semiconductors (x10 – x100) reduces the dampening of harmonics into the grid, thus reducing the need of filters in low power applications (i.e. eMobility).

10x-100x higher switching frequency of the semiconductors

Reduces power losses

Increases reliability 
of supply
