CE+T Power innovates again!
Today, CE+T Power introduces its new Power Routing solution, including Sierra modules.
Nowadays, everyone uses rectifiers to convert power from AC into DC to charge batteries.
In case of power failure, inverters are used to convert DC power into AC power to secure critical AC loads.
At CE+T, we have created a multifunction converter which can both feed AC and DC loads and charge the batteries.
This is what a Sierra module can do. Here’s a real-time demonstration cabinet for a three-phase infrastructure.
Each phase has two Sierra modules for redundancy.
As you can see here, the Sierra modules are feeding the AC loads using double conversion, the DC loads and the batteries.
Now we’re going to simulate a power failure.
As you can see, the grid has disappeared and the battery is discharging, feeding the DC and AC loads through the Sierra modules.
So, you have just seen that with only one module, you can secure both AC and DC loads, while also charging the battery.
This will save you space, money and footprint.
The Sierra module can also manage peak consumption.
As you all know, having a need for punctual peak power consumption can be costly.
Here is how Sierra modules can perform peak shaving for you.
For this demonstration, we have set the AC limit to 4kW.
At this moment, the AC loads are less than 4kW and the system can still charge the battery.
But if the AC loads increase beyond 4kW, as we can see here..
This shows that the power taken from the grid is limited to 4kW while the battery is contributing the delta power needed
So, as you’ve seen, the Sierra module reduces your energy bill by limiting your peak power consumption.
Another possibility given by Sierra modules is phase balancing.
Here, for the moment, the AC loads are balanced.
But if for any reason, consumption on a single phase increases…
Our system will balance the AC in, so that the energy taken from the grid is balanced.
So, phase balancing allows you to reduce your energy bill and avoid oversizing your infrastructure.
Finally, for reliable backup power, it is important to be aware of your batteries’ health status
Sierra modules can perform constant power battery tests.
So here we are going to launch a 3kW battery test.
As long as the AC loads exceed 3kW, the energy flows from the battery to the loads and the delta power comes from the grid.
But if the AC loads decrease to below 3kW, the extra power is reinjected into the grid.
So, our system will allow you to perform precise battery tests at constant load no matter how much power your loads need.
To conclude, you have seen our new solution for securing AC and DC loads. It reduces cost, space and footprint.
It also guarantees your uptime, offers great protection against grid disturbances, is hot swappable and truly redundant.
Our Power Routing solution includes the Sierra module which was presented during this presentation.
