Grid-forming Power Converter

Driving your solutions with our expertise

The transformation of the power grid as part of the energy transition requires a reorganization of tasks.

The “System Stability Roadmap” coordinated by the german Federal Minister for Economic Affairs BMWE coordinates this process. With our expertise and practical research solutions, we support you as a strong partner on your mission.

We support your converter based application to tackle key challenges, from control and hardware design to system integration.
