Business Profile
Special power supply systems are often required to connect energy grids of different frequencies or to transport energy efficiently.
Major areas of investments are:
-
the connections:
- of the 50Hz utility grid to the Central European railway grid operated at 16⅔Hz,
- of 50 and 60Hz grids in the Gulf region and Japan,
- of offshore wind farms to the grid over long distances based on the same technology,
- the supply of energy for research purposes such as Fusion and Nuclear experiments.
Converteam has a long track record in power supplies for the a.m. applications.
Special power supply systems contribute to reduction of operating costs, reduction of losses and thus pollution, and increase flexibility in the deregulated energy market. This is often achieved by replacing traditional electrical machines of that special frequency.
