Un seul équipement compact capable de tout faire : CA vers CC, CC vers CA, dans toutes les directions et sur tous les ports. Combiné à des fonctions de surveillance et de contrôle, il forme un système de conversion de puissance (PCS) intelligent, efficace et modulaire.
Plus que des onduleurs : notre technologie brevetée ajoute une entrée en CA pour un flux d’énergie plus intelligent, une efficacité supérieure et une évolutivité modulaire complète, le tout intégré dans un système de conversion de puissance complet (PCS).
Supervisez un ou plusieurs sites avec un seul outil. Il se connecte aussi bien aux systèmes CE+T qu’aux équipements tiers, offrant une visibilité complète, un pilotage intelligent et une maintenance simplifiée.
Swap of modules for evolving train infrastructures
Train infrastructures are evolving and so are the power converters used in this sector. As a result, our customer was looking for a solution that could evolve with these changes.
Train infrastructures context
Our customer, a European Railway operator, was looking for a solution that would fit the constant evolving train infrastructures. Indeed, the type of loads to be secured (AC or DC) is regularly changing. Consequently, the previous solution, which were plug & play modular converters, was not enough to cope with these unpredictable changes.
Our solution
The previous solution was made of Cordex rectifiers and a monitoring. It was taking quite a lot of space in the cabinet (7U). As demonstrated in the video below, we installed an all-in-one solution with Sierra 10 48/230 and Inview S Slot monitoring. The goal was to modernize and standardize the equipment.
Consequences
- Less space is required (only 3U high!). So it leaves the opportunity in the future to use this space if more power is required, for instance
- Sierra 10 48/230 is a 3-port multi-directional converter. Therefore it allows to secure both AC and DC loads and charging batteries at the same time
- Inventory management is easier as there is only on rack to keep in stock
- Keep some previous features such as modularity and hot-swappable. As our modules are hot-swappable, the installation is easy and it can be done during operation.
The installation
We started to proceed to the swap of modules 5 months ago for 20 cabinets on 10 sites across the country. These interventions were done by our team of CE+T Services.
Instead of changing the complete cabinet, our team was able to only do some changes in cabling as the rack fits perfectly in the cabinet.
