The PCSM can reach 3 LEVEL TOPOLOGY up to a nominal power of 3.6 MVA and it is compatible with all battery technology and manufacturers. It also has the added advantage of having an integrated medium voltage NEMA 3R transformer and switchgear. The MULTI PCSM can support two or three independent battery systems and optimize the storage facility. Power Electronics converters have been designed to be the lowest LCOE solution in the market for storage applications. The Power Electronics Freemaq PCSM offers proven hardwa- re to meet storage and grid support challenges.The energy production industry is embracing renewable energy sources. However, high penetration creates power transmission instability challenges, thus Grid Operators require stringent dynamic and static grid support features for solar inverters and Power Conversion Systems (PCS). The converters can perform grid support functions such as: Peak Shaving, Ramp Rate Control, Frequency Regulation, Load Leveling and Voltage Regulation, controlled by a Power Plant Controller or SCADA. The Freemaq PCSM stations are turn-key solutions ready for connection to the battery contai- ner and MV power distribution wiring. Units are designed for concrete pads or piers.

  • Part I :Power Electronics Chapter One
    PART I :POWER ELECTRONICS CHAPTER ONE POWER ELECTRONICS FUNDAMENTALS 1.1 INTRODUCTION The first electronics revolution began in 1948 with the invention of the bipolar silicon transistor at Bell Telephone Laboratories by Bardeen, Bratain, and Schockley. This invention leads to the most recent advanced in electronic technologies seen today. Also, modern microelectronics has evolved over the years from these silicon semiconductors. In 1957, the second electronics revolution started with the development of the four- layer high power commercial thyristor by the General Electric Company in USA. The invention of this device and its later applications in energy processing and motor control fields has initiated a new era of power electronics. From the early 1960s until quite recently, the thyristor and its family was almost universally used as the high power semiconductor switch which leads to introduction of many different types of energy conversion techniques. The energy conversion using power electronics achieves conversion of electric power from one form to another, using a combin- ation of high-power semiconductor devices and passive components, mainly transformers, inductors, and capacitors. The input and output may be alternating current (a.c.) or direct current (d.c.) and may differ in magnitude and/or frequency. The end goals of a power electronic conv- erter are to achieve high efficiency of conversion, minimize size and weight, and achieve desired regulation of the output. Power electronic converters can be classified into four different types on the basis of input and output, dc-dc, dc-ac, ac-dc, and ac-ac, named with the first part referring to the input and the second to the output.
