Siemens is launching another Compact DC-DC converter

The Sinamics DCP 250 kW is now available. This means that a total of three Compact DC-DC converters are available for connecting batteries or ultracaps to an industrial drive system. With the Sinamics DCP 250kW, Siemens offers a device with which output voltages of up to 1200V can be realized. 

The device implements the increased requirements in the automotive industry and offers the optimal basis for the realization of test benches for electric vehicles. As far as efficient energy use is concerned, DC controllers offer additional advantages: in the system network, the use of energy storage systems such as batteries can smooth the load absorption from the grid. This eliminates peak loads in particular. Furthermore, braking energy can be made available in the DC network. With a suitable system design, DC converters also require fewer conversion steps. Another advantage is the simplified feed-in from renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics.    
The Sinamics DCP is a Compact DC-DC converter that is immediately ready for use without additional engineering. Power expansion can also be easily implemented by connecting several Sinamics DCPs in parallel.
