Dynapower Industrial Grade Bi-Directional Inverters

Dynapower Corporation manufactures a full line of ultrafast, bi-directional inverters for use with energy storage systems ranging from 30-100kVA in our Micro Power Systems (MPS), 375kVA to1.5MVA in the Compact Power Systems (CPS) 600V class and fully integrated 1.5MVA to 6MVA medium voltage PowerSkid systems.  Our Inverter systems utilize state of the art digital controllers for management of real & reactive power, system monitoring and system protection.  MPS, CPS and PowerSkid systems ae IEEE and UL1741 compliant, offer sub-cycle response with zero voltage ride through and can be operated in grid tied or stand alone modes.

At the heart of our power electronics package is an advanced modular inverter that is integrated into a single enclosure using multiple standard inverter modules as building blocks.  This approach allows for proper system sizing and seamless integration of additional inverters (up to 100MVA) when the needs of a facility or a substation grow.  With over 4 decades of industrial and utility system experience, Dynapower Corporation provides the highest quality power conversion equipment in the market.

The CPS is a 600VAC class, bi-directional, modular, Digital Signal Processor(DSP) controlled line of

grid-interconnected inverters ranging from 375 kVA to 1.5MVA

 

The PowerSkid line of medium voltage, DSP controlled, modular, grid inter-connected inverters integrates Dynapower's ULTRACAST cast coil transformer, system cooling and system control into a common enclosure, Dynapower offers standard PowerSkid packages with power ranges from 1.5 MVA to 6.0 MVA and standard AC voltage options of 5kVAC, 15kVAC and 34.5kVAC.

Compact Power Systems (CPS)

 

For 600VAC class applications, Dynapower Corporation offers its Compact Power Systems (CPS) family of industrial grade, bi-directional, four-quadrant, DSP controlled inverter packages.  The inverter product includes integrated cooling, system controls as well as a full complement of switchgear including AC circuit breaker, AC contactor,  DC load break contactors (allowing for individual battery string isolation) and manual isolation switch, all housed in a rugged, heavy duty industrial enclosure.  This state of the art inverter optimizes the transfer of energy between a DC energy storage system and a 600VAC, 3 Phase line providing power conditioning for intermittent loads or renewable generation.

PowerSkid

 

Our PowerSkid design combines our state of the art inverter with Dynapower’s ULTRACAST cast coil transformer for connection to a medium voltage grid.  The PowerSkid also includes integrated cooling, system controls and a full complement of switchgear with an AC circuit breaker, AC contactor, DC load break contactors (allowing for individual battery string isolation) and DC disconnect, all housed within a rugged, heavy duty industrial walk-in enclosure rated for indoor or outdoor use.

Like the CPS bi-directional inverter system, the PowerSkid converts energy from renewable sources or the grid to a DC energy storage system.  Stored DC energy is then converted back to AC for direct transfer to the medium voltage, 3 Phase line. Dynapower Corporation’s PowerSkid coupled with an advanced battery storage system will play a key role in increasing the overall reliability and responsiveness of the grid with increased renewable integration.

Enclosure:

The PowerSkid system is housed in an all-weather IP 55 walk-in style heavy duty, painted carbon enclosure designed for outdoor use.  It is well-insulated, thermostatically controlled with provisions for heating and cooling to maintain a controlled temperature environment in both summer and winter.

Cooling:

The base inverter system features liquid cooled power electronics and chokes and a medium voltage, air-cooled cast coil transformer.  A variety of liquid-to-liquid or air cooled options exist to provide our customers with an independent, sealed system requiring minimum infrastructure and maintenance for continuous operation.  Dynapower Corporation works closely with its customers to determine the best cooling options for a given ambient temperature and altitude.

 

Dry Type Epoxy Encapsulated Cast Coil Transformer

 

Dynapower Corporation is the world leader in the manufacture and distribution of cast coil transformers for specialty applications.  The ULTRACAST process casts windings in a mold under vacuum, locking copper windings in a very strong, high dielectric, epoxy resin, protecting the transformer from electrical demands and severer environments.  This technology offers unparalleled mechanical strength by sealing the coils in an impervious casting of dielectric epoxy resulting in the most reliable and longest lasting transformer technology available. 

Our ULTRACAST transformers are designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with ANSI and IEEE standards, with other standards considered as required by individual customers.
