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
  • About 1 million cycles & longer calendar life: 15 to 20 years
