This module converts the AC grid supply to a regulated 800 VDC bus. The DGI will constantly monitor and maintain this 800 VDC nominal level enabling the establishment of a DC micro grid.
Near silent operation Where grid capacity is sufficient, a Potenza LV DGI can be used with one or more of TPS own Velox i EVCs to provide a ‘hub and spoke’ EV charging system, with V2G/V2X capability. Where grid capacity is insufficient, energy storage and on-site generation can be added to optimise charging site operational costs.
