Cinergia GE&EL AC/DC SiC RSe High-Performance Regenerative Power Converter

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.

Advantages of the GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RSe

> High efficiency: Regenerative technology reuses energy, resulting in lower electricity bills and less heat dissipation.
> Four-quadrant operation: Suitable for both sourcing and sinking power in AC and DC, ideal for bidirectional applications such as EV charging and energy storage.
> User-friendly interface: A 7-inch touchscreen provides simple local control without a PC or Ethernet connection.
> Easy integration: Supports MODBUS/TCP, analogue and digital I/O for compatibility with automated test systems.
> Compact and modular design: Available in a 19-inch rack format with a depth of 715 mm, ideal for laboratory environments and test facilities.
> Complies with strict standards: Designed and manufactured in Europe according to CE marking, IEC 61010-1 safety standards and ISO 9001 quality standards.

Applications

The versatility of the Cinergia GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RSe makes it suitable for a wide range of applications:

> Electromobility: EVSE testing, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), On-Board Chargers (OBC), charging station testing.
> Smart Grids and energy storage: Simulation of grid behaviour, battery cycles and solar panel emulation.
> Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHiL): Use as a power amplifier for real-time simulations in R&D.
> Aerospace industry: Testing of power converters and electric drives.

The GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RSe is the ultimate solution for high-quality energy testing in laboratories, R&D centres and production environments.
