GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RSe

The GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RSe represents a breakthrough in regenerative power conversion technology. This 3-in-1 Rack Series unit combines AC Grid Simulation, AC Electronic Load, and DC Power Supply functionalities, enabling simultaneous and independent operation for unparalleled versatility.

Engineered for high-efficiency R&D, validation, and EoL testing, the SiC-RSe provides precise control and reliable performance for a wide range of applications, including electromobility, EV charging, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), smart grids, distributed energy resources (DER), and aerospace testing.

A key feature of this unit, unique in the market, is the ability to use all functionalities simultaneously and independently: AC Grid Simulation, AC Electronic Load, DC Bidirectional source/sink, Power Amplifier, Battery Tester/Cycler/Emulator, or PV Panel Emulator.

Our Rack Series offers the highest efficiency on the market for both sourcing and regenerating energy, resulting in greater energy savings and a reduction in electrical installation rating.

SiC-RS family products are fully designed and manufactured in Europe, subject to the most rigorous testing, complying with CE marking, safety, EMC, and ISO 9001 quality standards.

Like all CINERGIA products, the GE&EL AC/DC SiC-RS allows for the reinjection of used power back to the grid, resulting in a reduction of both consumed energy and required power, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.

Until now, all-in-one converters included all functionalities in a single unit, allowing the possibility of performing different types of tests. With easy configuration, you could set up the unit as a Grid Simulator, Electronic Load, or DC Converter, using 1 to 3 channels, at your convenience. But only one function at a time.

This unique key feature allows the unit to use all functionalities simultaneously and independently: AC Grid Simulation, AC Electronic Load, DC Bidirectional source/sink, Battery Tester/Emulator, or PV Panel Emulator.

Now, with Mixed Mode, you can set up any function on each channel and blend functionalities according to your testing application needs. You will be able to use the unit as a Grid Simulator, Electronic Load, and DC Converter at the same time. All functionalities simultaneously and independently. A full testing platform on its own.

The cumulative expertise of CINERGIA has been condensed into this compact unit that simultaneously excels in robustness, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology for optimal performance.

The compatibility of the Rack Series with universal rack cabinets sets a new standard for space efficiency, modularity, and scalability, resulting in high versatility and easy integration into a comprehensive testing environment.

Transitioning to SiC technology results in an increased switching frequency of the converter, which translates into higher dynamics, faster transients, and enhanced performance, making it the perfect candidate for EoL environments, R+D, Validation and Power Hardware in the Loop (PHIL) testing.

The faster switching time of the SiC MOSFETs reduces the current-voltage crossover duration, and therefore the losses at each commutation, improving overall efficiency.

Local control of the unit is easier than ever with the new 7-inch display, the bigger and brighter of its kind:

The LCD provides access to all functionalities of the unit without the need of a computer or ethernet connection: start/stop/ reset, channel configuration, running test sequences, plotting and datalogging.

Analog & digital I/O and the open MODBUS/TCP protocol are provided for seamless integration into automated test lines.

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment is designed to charge the battery of EV in AC or DC. In AC applications the On Board Charger converts AC in DC.

V2G is a system where EVs interact with the power grid, allowing bidirectional energy transfer between them to balance demand and supply

The integration of EV to the grid creates new applications as vehicle to home/ building, vehicle to load, vehicle to vehicle, etc... included in V2X

Smart grids require power electronics and ICT ( Information and Communication Technology) to manage energy flows and ensure the quality and continuity of the electric supply.

Our units can emulate the electrical behaviour of a variet y of elements connected to a Smart Grid or Microgrid: the utility grid itself, distributed energy resources (Photovoltaic, Wind Plants...), loads (houses, buildings) or bidirectional devices as ESS or smart EV chargers.

Real Time Simulation Systems and Power Converters are converging in the field known as Power Hardware in the Loop (PHiL) in which a real world system is simulated on a real-time basis and then emulated: converted in real voltage, current and power.

The Rack Series can be used in Power Amplifier mode, which transforms the reference signal generated by the real time simulator into a voltage or current waveform.

Energy storage systems (ESS) typically involve three components:
(1) an electrical grid for importing and exporting energy
(2) a DC storage system
(3) loads or a microgrid that integrates both generation and consumption.
With our extensive experience in this field, we provide comprehensive testing solutions for these systems.
