Smart Grid Transmission
The future-proof control and distribution of energy requires intelligent, networked systems that enable efficient use and demand-based feed-in.
Smart Grid Transmission represents a key technology for optimally linking power generators, storage systems and consumers and making grid operation stable, flexible and economical.
Direct current transmission: Efficient and sustainable solution
The transmission of electrical energy using direct current will play an increasingly important role in the future. It is characterized by high efficiency, sustainability, and numerous economic advantages. Due to its physical properties, the use of direct current is particularly advantageous in photovoltaic systems, as the generated energy can be used directly without losses due to conversion to alternating current.
The switch from three-phase to direct current systems also offers significant advantages in traditional low-voltage electrical power distribution (3x400V AC). The reduced copper requirement or the ability to transmit significantly higher power with the same material usage can realize savings potential in both energy efficiency and material usage.
Power electronics as a key technology for the energy infrastructure of the future
Modern power electronics offers significant advantages for the future expansion and renewal of existing energy infrastructures. A switch from 50 Hz to higher frequencies enables, in particular, a reduction in energy losses and a more space-saving transformer, thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of energy transmission.
In addition, the higher frequency contributes to improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) by minimizing interference and increasing grid stability. Although the underlying technology is already established, it has so far been rarely used in this specific application area – yet it offers enormous potential for optimizing the electrical power supply.
Through targeted technical analyses, feasibility studies and strategic planning, we support companies and network operators in implementing these advanced technologies to make existing systems more efficient, sustainable and powerful.
