PRE power developers invests in the future of EV Charging

New high end testing equipment was installed

Electrical cars are booming. The market share of electrical cars in all of Europe is rising and will continue to grow in the coming years. Governments are stimulating this growth. The Netherlands has set the target that all cars should be electrical in the year 2030. These electrical cars have to be charged, of course. PRE Power developers wants charging to be as safe and efficient as possible and uses innovative power modules to achieve this. With the new high end testing equipment PRE will be much better equipped to develop reliable, safe and high quality power modules.

V2G and Direct Solar Charging
EV Chargers will be playing an important part in smart (micro) grids. V2G/Bidirectional chargers will become essential, which means that currency can flow into the car as well as out of it. When the electrical car is connected to the charging station, the battery can be used for alternate purposes, such as creating an energy buffer. A smart charging module can also be used to charge a car directly from the PV panels. This prevents conversion losses and makes charging really climate neutral. With the new AC source (ET Systems) it will be possible to simulate all possible situations and to test every module for net connection and net quality. This way, PRE will be prepared for testing according to the new VDE and G83/59 standards.

Reliability and longevity
Reliability and extended longevity are very important to PRE. PRE wants to know as early as possible how reliable a new power module is and in which circumstances it will function optimally. The new Vötsch temperature shock chamber gives PRE the possibility to carry out in-house testing and to make a statement about the reliability and longevity of the power module. Aided by stress tests possible weak spots in the design will be uncovered. By adjusting the design accordingly, reliability will be enhanced.

Future
In recent years, PRE has focussed on electrical transport and sustainable energy. PRE wants to keep distinguishing themselves with ground breaking and reliable innovations. PRE invests extensively to guarantee the quality. Investing in the right equipment is crucial to be able to give out this guarantee.
