Power Conditioner Technology for Photovoltaic Generation and Power Storage

printing

 The kind of renewable energy found in solar generation has a peculiar flaw in that its output is affected by weather conditions. Combining it with "power storage technology" which can stockpile the power generated for when it is needed makes it possible to realize a stable power supply system. Power storage technology is also receiving attention for overall power demand balance adjustment and power efficiency improvement. Further, adding the element of grid connection technology to power conditioners enables more optimal and efficient power supply.
 We uphold and pursue high-efficiency power conversion as we develop power storage power conditioners that can control such complex power supply and demand intelligently.
As connections between grids and batteries make it possible to use unstable natural energy effectively, grid connection control, battery charge/discharge control, and bidirectional conversion technologies control decentralized and complicated energy routes intelligently to support a stable and efficient power supply.
 
Since power storage needed charge/discharge battery management technology specially for lithium ion batteries, we have established control technology using communication between battery management units and power units.

・ All-digital control
・ System grid connection technical requirements  Elemental technology of power conditioner for photovoltaic generation and power storage

 Renewable energy as represented by photovoltaic generation can now supply stable power through power grid connections. Also, it can now be used in a way advantageous in terms of both supply and demand, since power can also be sold to the power company. And, finally, it can now stabilize intermittent energy output and temporal mismatches of power supply and demand by combining lithium batteries.
 Thus, "power leveling " and "distributed supply" are gaining attention as effective steps to the construction of a low-carbon society, with high expectations for their future proliferation.
