- SiC technology: efficiency >93.5% and regenerative feed-in
The Cinergia GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RSe is an advanced 3-in-1 regenerative power converter that can simultaneously function as an AC Grid Simulator, AC Electronic Load and DC Bidirectional Source/Sink. This device has been specially developed for high-efficiency R&D, validation and End-of-Line (EoL) testing, offering unprecedented flexibility and energy efficiency.
Thanks to SiC (Silicon Carbide) technology, the GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RSe delivers high performance, minimal energy losses and low harmonic distortion, resulting in faster transients and improved efficiency. This makes it an excellent choice for applications in electric mobility, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), smart grids, energy storage systems and aviation testing.
Mixed Mode – Simultaneous and Independent Functionalities
A unique feature of the GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RSe is Mixed Mode, which allows all functions to be used simultaneously and independently of each other. This allows the device to function as an AC Grid Simulator, AC Electronic Load, DC Source/Sink, Power Amplifier, Battery Tester or PV Panel Emulator within a single unit.
Previously, all-in-one converters could only perform one function at a time. With Mixed Mode, each channel can now be configured separately and multiple test scenarios can take place simultaneously. This offers unrivalled flexibility and optimised testing capabilities, significantly increasing efficiency in laboratories and test environments.
