AEG supplies storage converters for UET's Uni.System

In particular, the system is able to help overcome challenges in adding renewable energy sources to the public grid, including grid stabilisation and grid leveling. The Uni.System provides unlimited cycles, a 20 year lifetime and use of the battery’s full state-of-charge.

The storage converter will be installed at two sites: UET’s headquarters in Mukilteo, Washington, on the Harbour Pointe distribution circuit, and on the Turner distribution circuit at a manufacturing facility in Pullman, Washington.

UET was impressed by the storage converters' wide voltage and current range, flexibility in configuration and small physical footprint.

The Protect SC.600 converters are bi-directional devices based on IGBT technology. In battery energy storage systems, the converters transform the battery’s chemically stored energy into a useful grid service by supplying the right electric component at the right time and with the right amount and form of electrical power. Alongside a high efficiency for charging and discharging, the devices feature a wide DC input range for use with any battery technology currently available.
