Power conversion is the process of changing electrical energy from one form to another. This can involve changing voltage, current, frequency, or the type of current (AC to DC or DC to AC). Power conversion is essential in diverse applications from electrification and energy storage to green hydrogen from Power-to-X.
Ways to use power conversion
Use the formula Efficiency (η) = (Output Power / Input Power) x 100%
This tells you how much of the input power is successfully converted to the desired output power. No conversion is 100% efficient; some power is always lost as heat or other forms of energy.
Meet climate targets using power conversion for energy storage
Energy storage is essential for both decarbonizing our energy supply and maintaining modern prosperity and energy security. It powers the transport and devices we rely on. Without it, we are forced back to fossil fuels, increasing energy insecurity and undermining climate goals.
How power conversion supports energy security
With an ever-growing megatrend such as electrification, a critical theme is network cybersecurity. Danfoss offers solutions to protect power conversion devices and their data from unauthorized access, using unique hardware-based cybersecurity. Ensure reliable power conversion for high-tech industry.
How Danfoss power converters raise the bar on cybersecurity
Green hydrogen: produce and use wisely
If we want to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, such as heavy industry, green hydrogen is going to play a crucial role. To advance the new era of green hydrogen, we need to produce it efficiently and use it wisely. This means thinking strategically about how, when, and where we produce and consume hydrogen in its various forms.
Danfoss offers grid-friendly and efficient DC/DC converters and other power conversion solutions and products, meticulously designed and proven to deliver maximum energy efficiency in Power-to-X systems producing green hydrogen. Featuring low harmonics and an adjustable power factor, our solutions ensure a cost-effective power supply for your electrolyzer, bolstering your green initiatives.
