Principle of medium voltage dc forced energy storage device

What is a medium voltage system?

A medium voltage system is one that operates in the medium-voltage range, enabling considerable material, cost, and space savings. This technology allows new system concepts for renewable hybrid power plants whose individual components are interconnected via medium voltage.

What are the benefits of using medium voltage systems?

The higher system voltages offered in the medium-voltage range enable considerable material, cost and space savings. This technology also allows new system concepts for renewable hybrid power plants whose individual components are interconnected via medium voltage.

What does medium voltage enable?

Medium voltage enables material, cost and space savings. The use of higher system voltages offers a number of opportunities, which are briefly described below: Medium voltage is the key to the efficient integration of renewable energies.

What does medium voltage allow for in renewable hybrid power plants?

This technology allows new system concepts for renewable hybrid power plants whose individual components are interconnected via medium voltage. The higher system voltages in the medium voltage range enable considerable material, cost and space savings.

How does voltage affect resource efficiency?

Increasing the system voltage reduces the current in the systems, which allows for greatly reduced cross-sections of the cables. This is one of the most evident effects of using medium voltage and contributes to improved resource efficiency.

How much electrical capacity is needed for the energy transition?

The energy transition in the electricity sector will require approx. 1 TW of installed electrical capacity for Germany alone by 2045.
