Ultracapacitor solution balances gradients and smooths genset power.
Benefits of the Skeleton solution
- VSG can achieve immediate response<20 msec on load variations with high gradients
- Engine can run at the most beneficial operating speed
- Increased engine life through less wear and tear
- Uninterruptible power supply in case engine is off
Challenge
High degree of random load variations
Background
- Random high load variations scan cause problems for Variable Speed
- Generators to continuously supply power with high gradients
Key challenges
- High degree of random load variations
- Maintaining stability of power generation
- Operating efficiently and improving fuel economy
- Longer restart time
Known consequences
- Generator power gradients outside the limits
- VSG is not able to meet the load demand
- Shorter lifetime of engine
Solution
UCAP balance gradients and smooths genset power
What we offer
- Ultracapacitor solution connected to the DC link of power conversion system
- Ultracapacitors deliver necessary power to compensate the load variations and smooth out genset power
- Ultracapacitors are the only viable technology to provide high power and high duty cycle
Advantages of the Skeloton product
- 100% reliable energy storage with zero maintenance
