9 AC Long time success guarantor, today more and more a burden? Variable Speed Drives in Home and Industry The AC frontend is causing ca. 50% of cost ca. 50% of power losses > 65% of construction volume of the whole inverter! ~ AC AC AC frontend η = 0,97 η = 0,97 AC: Cost driver and efficiency killer 9 Micro Grids

10 AC Long time success guarantor, today more and more a burden? Electrical Generators AC supply requires an expensive elaborate AC frontend and thus makes many potentially energy-saving applications uneconomical causes problems with mains perturbations, complicates peak load buffering by means of electrical energy storages. Superfluous in a grid! AC AC 1) energy recuperating drives, wind power, water power, etc. 10 Micro Grids

11 AC Long time success guarantor, today more and more a burden? Aspects for a Reconsideration of the Historic AC Grid Concept The self-use of regenerative energy is to be promoted PV, fuel cells, CHP or wind provide directly and more cost-effective power Energy storages get outstanding importance with increasing share of wind & PV Batteries, electrolysers (H 2 ) work on basis Reactive power increases losses and reduces transmission capacity in AC grids Problem does not exist in systems Efficiency increasing in drive applications through energy recovery Much more easier and economically feasible in grids 1) Design and comfort aspects demand for more compact appliances / converter can be realized much smaller Reduction of electronic scrap quantities / converters shrink with increasing switching frequencies and can be realized with much less material usage than line frequency AC/ adapters 1) no AFE (active AC frontend) necessary 11 Micro Grids
