Applications
Save time, cost, and effort with Danfoss
When integrating diverse energy sources into the grid, intelligent power conversion solutions from Danfoss improve grid performance and reduce CAPEX. Danfoss reference designs support streamlined design and construction of power installations to save time, cost and effort in testing and certification.
Unique grid compliance and secure energy supply
Energy storage systems enable the grid to accommodate unpredictable consumers and energy production sources. Danfoss power converters offer the ultimate grid compliance and solutions to secure your energy supply. Utilize peak shaving to optimize the energy flow between the incoming supply and local storage, to meet spikes in demand. Reliable power conversion supports high-tech industry.
Cut the cost of reaching green targets
Your electrolyzer must be highly energy efficient in every aspect: power conversion to match the load of your stacks, the pumps that supply water, the heat exchangers that recover excess heat and valves and sensors to control it all. Danfoss helps you with the big picture.
Eliminate NOx and carbon emissions with clean shore supply
Power conversion devices from Danfoss convert the 50 Hz shore power to the 60 Hz marine power typically used onboard ocean-going vessels. In doing so, berthed ships can source clean energy from local grids, preventing local NOx and carbon emissions and noise pollution in port.
Fast charging – with no compromise on power quality
At Danfoss Drives, we offer the application expertise and the power converter products to deliver fast charging without compromise on performance or scalability. The highest possible power density and efficiency, paired with compact and lightweight construction, allow a flexible integration into vessel machine rooms, control systems, and fast chargers.
