Efficient conversion in any power and energy scenario

Examples of land energy solutions with the iE Convert

DEIF iE Convert power converters help you design, build, and operate efficient and reliable hybrid energy systems for a wide range of land-based energy applications, from power/energy rental to hybrid smart grids and microgrids. They can be configured to match your operational requirements and help you maximise efficiency by converting energy with very low losses.

The iE Convert series offers a unique combination of high switching frequencies and galvanic isolation that makes it highly useful in many scenarios. Here are some examples of what you can use iE Convert devices for:

An Active Front End (AFE) AC/DC converter that converts energy between AC and DC, for example to charge or discharge a BESS (battery energy storage system) from diesel gensets, export power to the grid, or produce hydrogen from renewable sources such as PV parks. You can use the converter in grid-connected or standalone (off-grid/island) scenarios.
A DC/AC drive that powers pumps, cranes, or other variable-speed machinery from a DC source such as a battery. It provides regenerative capability for improved overall system efficiency. Being based on AFE, the DC/AC drive also provides higher efficiency and lower harmonics than drives with passive or active filters.
A buck-boost DC/DC converter that handles DC level shifts. It steps down DC voltage from the bus or grid (or another DC source such as a fuel cell) for charging a battery or steps up energy, for example to boost the voltage level from a solar panel or discharge a battery.
A buck-boost DC/DC converter with galvanic isolation that you can use to integrate a fuel cell or other DC power source in your system whilst also isolating it to prevent stray currents.

iE Convert devices can be grid-forming, allowing you to set up AC microgrids from DC power sources in grid-tied and standalone scenarios. DEIF has extensive experience in developing, building, and using control devices that comply with the world’s grid codes.

The compact and low-weight units save space in mobile and rental applications where converter footprint is an important consideration.
