Overview

The growth in Distributed Energy Storage market is a key trend set to continue due to the high cost of energy and energy crisis in general that we all face daily. Independence from the Grid with the ability to self-generate, store and use energy in a more convenient and cost-effective way is very attractive for home and commercial business owner alike. 

Inverter based distributed Energy Storage Systems rely on conversion from AC and DC which inevitably leads to losses. Optimization of systems through proven designs with good performing products helps achieve power savings and extends life of end products. When considering how to generate less heat it’s necessary to focus on two main parts, control and load. With a relay this relates directly to coil and contact. Their characteristics are determined by design structure, however proven board layout, associated connected components including connection and cabling all have a part to play.

One of the key ways to achieve less loss of energy and therefore less heat is to choose relay components with exemplary low contact path resistance. Effective methods to contributing to maintaining this during the entire product lifetime will also ensure meeting an endurance target.

Key Takeaways

• Realize why distributed energy solutions lead the way to reduced CO2 and towards net-zero.
• Learn what the challenges are associated with achieving well managed stored energy.
• Discover the latest relay advances and key features that can assist you in providing dependable solutions.
• See proven application examples meeting current regulations and end customer expectations.
• Understand what the next challenges to be solved are, and that we are already focused on them.
