Power Conversion Technologies

AIT has extensive expertise in the field of energy conversion technologies as well as around the topics of battery storage systems and hydrogen technology, which is complemented by state-of-the-art test laboratories.

As an independent technology consultant, AIT provides support throughout the entire procurement process, from conceptual design to commissioning.

OUR SERVICES

AIT offers comprehensive support in the procurement of energy conversion technologies, along the entire procurement process:

  • Definition of requirements in terms of functionality, operating figures and safety
  • Conception and technical design of plants based on digital models ("Digital Twin")
  • Preparation of technical specifications taking into account existing standards
  • Analysis of systems and suppliers available on the market
  • Request for proposals and independent comparison of offers
  • Technical support during bidder discussions

Furthermore, AIT offers techno-economic system analysis for integration into industry and infrastructure.

  • Development of optimization concepts for the use of systems to increase economic efficiency
  • Investigation of large-scale grid efficiency and flexibility deployment in distribution and transmission grids
  • Design and interoperability testing of ICT interfaces
  • Long-term monitoring and operational optimization

OUR METHODS

The design of power conversion systems is one of the most important design parameters and cost drivers. Therefore, AIT has developed proprietary software for the optimal design of storage systems and hydrogen-based systems . The core of this software consists of detailed models of the individual technologies, which allow the simulation of an entire system and evaluation of key figures such as efficiency, losses, full load cycles, lifetime and economic parameters.

YOUR BENEFITS

  • Supplier-independent technical expertise at the system and component level
  • Comprehensive laboratory infrastructure for component and system testing
  • Numerous references for procurement support of large-scale storage systems from 250 kVA (250 kWh) to 10 MVA (12 MWh)
  • Faster and more favorable procurement of your storage systems
