Sochi support
28 February 2014
Playing its part at the recent Olympic Winter Games in Sochi was a Parker Hannifin Power Conversion System (PCS) which helped to manage power fluctuations throughout the course of the games.
Working in partnership with EnerDel, an expert in utility-scale lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, Parker Hannifin’s Energy Grid Tie Division supplied one of its highly efficient and compact PCS solutions as part of a 1.5MW, 2.5MWh installation connecting large banks of battery energy storage to the grid, smoothing out fluctuations and supplying back-up power for local substations.
The system includes Parker’s precision cooling technology, which is said to increase the throughput of high power electronics by up to 40%. Parker provided ancillary equipment such as outdoor battery enclosures, complete with climate control, fire suppression and monitoring systems.
