Franck Audrain, CEOAEG PS not only has a long expertise and a proven track record for securing power in conventional power plants and nuclear applications, but also in providing solutions that smoothly integrate into renewable energy power plants. The company’s distinctive expertise bridging both AC and DC power technologies spanning the worlds of both conventional and renewable energy allows it to create innovative power systems that contribute to energy storage and grid-stabilization. The internal power supply and back-up systems are built independent of the external energy feed and include at least two emergency power generators and two high-performance batteries. In case of power failure, the battery-driven power back-up systems and the generators take over immediately.
“The company has developed several solutions to minimize disturbances feeding into the grid and makes use of backup power and energy storage to compensate load peaks,” says Franck Audrain, CEO of AEG Power Solutions.
One of its solutions, Convert SC Flex, provides a high conversion efficiency factor for both the charging and discharging phases in the batteries. Its wide DC input range allows it to be used with any battery technology currently available for a seamless transition between on-grid and off-grid mode.While ensuring that a reliable power backup exists, it is equally important that the equipment at a power plant possesses state-of-the-art specifications to meet the ardent safety regulations. The experts at AEG PS use their experience in the power industry to provide specialized power protection systems and customized earthquake-proof technologies.

The Protect 8 INV, for instance, is an extremely robust— both electrically and mechanically—industrial inverter. It is custom-designed for use in harsh industrial environments to meet the toughest requirements at a small footprint. Fully digital and redundant controls provide high reliability to ensure that high system efficiency is achieved even at a low output power while being compatible with every type of battery.
Taking a gander at the solutions that AEG PS provides for the power plants that work with non-conventional resources, it is evident that the company is a forerunner in creating technology that helps generate clean energy even in rough environments. The engineers at AEG PS design these systems—with innovations such as cooling provisions in offshore platforms and in-tower power back-up systems—to meet unique technical requirements and form factors required by the wind industry. The solution set of AC and DC power technologies by AEG PS for pitch control systems and condition monitoring is well known for its reliability and efficiency in protecting investments and ensuring a maximum energy output by reducing machine downtime and recovery work.

Description
AEG Power Solutions is a global designer and provider of power electronic systems and solutions for all critical power supply needs. The company ensures availability of power and the safe operation of critical applications in all environments thanks to a comprehensive portfolio of power supply systems and services: AC and DC UPS, battery chargers, rectifier systems, service and maintenance on a 24/7 basis, as well as customized UPS systems meeting customer specifications. AEG aims to secure the power supply chain at all times and to deliver improvements to power solutions across the globe continually
AEG Power Solutions, a global provider of AC & DC power supply systems and solutions for all types of critical and demanding applications, announced today the launch of the new generation of Protect C and Protect D series of double conversion online uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
The enhanced UPS were designed to offer an optimized and economic power protection in a more compact housing.
The performance level of the new generation of Protect C and Protect D series represent consistent continued development of those well-proven and highly reliable systems. Both systems are suitable to protect all types of critical applications, in the IT environment such as IoT, Edge computing, workstations, servers, storage systems or electrical infrastructure in corporate, healthcare, banking and industrial applications.
Both systems series range from 1000 to 10000 VA, with 5 models for the Protect C tower UPS series, and 6 for the new Protect D. With a power factor up to 0.9 for the models up to 3000 VA and up to 1 for the 6000 and 10000 systems, Protect C and Protect D offer an enhanced level of reliability and more power in a smaller footprint than the former range. Both series operate at high efficiency level, up to 95% at typical IT equipment load (50-100%) and 98% in ECO mode for the 6000 and 10000 models, contributing to lower energy costs.
Protect C & D also exists in an S-version benefitting of a higher capacity charger for longer autonomy times. High reliability and adaptability are achieved through a wide input range (110/276 VAC load dependent). Both series can consequently ensure protection even in harsh utility power condition and are adapted to the situation in which grid quality is affected by the integration of renewable energy sources.
The user-interface is multilingual. The UPS parameters are displayed on a graphic LCD screen and direct configuration is possible with the control panel.
To increase the power capacity or to add redundancy, Protect C and D 6 and 10 kVA units offer a parallel operating system of multiple UPS, up to 3 devices. Protect C is t designed to be used preferably as tower mount, while Protect D offers both rack and tower mount version. Both Protect C and D 6 and 10 kVA series include a version with a bigger charger to allow longer battery back-up time.
Protect D dimensions make it suitable for IT cabinets with a depth of only 800mm. This compact and highly reliable uninterruptible power supply is perfect for server rooms in any industry. It can also be easily integrated in any industrial data acquisition processes.
"When designing the new generation of Protect C &D series, we fully integrated the requirements for modern, versatile UPS to protect critical loads in sensitive networks, IT or data acquisition applications, explains Juha Lantta, Product Manager at AEG Power Solutions. High efficiency and reliability are key as well as flexibility and adaptability to all types of environment in terms of power source. The challenge was to enhance proven series performance and improve user interface while keeping very compact units, which we achieved“.
Protect C & D series are available and can be sourced from local AEG Power Solution distributor or directly via one of the company’s entities.
