Resilience and power quality
at all grid levels
A topic that concerns all network operators: the increasing share of renewable energies means it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain grid stability even in exceptional situations. At the same time, electric vehicles are being added as new stochastic consumers.
AMPERAGE can play an important role here, because it increases the resilience of a power grid, ensures the quality of the power supply and by doing to solves the problems of grid stability at competitive rates.
Grid stabilization for a successful energy transition
To ensure safe and reliable grid operation, the energy transition needs new technical solutions. These solutions can also be found in the new regulations for system services. AMPERAGE can adopt a large number of these new system services provided for regulations.
Application Benefits
- Provision of fast control power with full power development within milliseconds

Quality power supply for industrial success
In many regions, the expansion of the electricity grid cannot keep up with the growing demands of manufacturing industry for a quality power supply.
Uninterruptible power supply
AMPERAGE allows sections of the grid to be automatically switched to island mode if the surrounding grid becomes unstable. The systems and consumers connected then continue to operate without interruption and processes continue without loss of quality. AMPERAGE forms a local power grid and provides power reserves to immediately compensate for load peaks that occur.
Application Benefits
- Grid formation and stabilization of micro grids from 200 kVA to 10 MVA; integration of dynamic loads and renewable energy sources
- Capability of gas engines for automated island network formation, full performance instantly, also as an upgrade to existing systems
- Uninterruptible power supply for short-term interruptions and in combination with gas or diesel engines also for prolonged power interruptions

Combining high-performance and long battery life
When coupled with battery storage, such as Li-ion batteries, AMPERAGE effects cycle conservation of the battery. The installation of an AMPERAGE system with only a fraction of the battery power can already significantly reduce the cyclic load on the battery – and by doing so considerably extend its service life.
Application Benefits
- Unlimited micro and medium cycle strength of the energy storage system
- Increase in battery life
- Also possible as an upgrade to an existing installation

Voltage stabilization and recuperation
The principle also pays off in the railway grid: a static AMPERAGE storage system connected to a DC railway grid stabilizes its voltage and at the same time can recuperate a large part of the braking energy and release it back to the trains during acceleration phases. This makes better use of the existing infrastructure, increases the efficiency of the railway grid – and significantly reduces energy procurement costs.
Application Benefits
- Increase in the utilization and efficiency of railway grids
- Reduction in energy procurement costs
- Reduction in costs for the grid connection
- Reduction in peak loads

PowerMapper
Um den optimalen Standort von AMPERAGE in einem Bahnnetz zu bestimmen, wurde das Messsystem PowerMapper entwickelt. Dieses Cloud-basierte, zugmontierte System erfasst die im Bremswiderstand verheizte Leistung und protokolliert sie zusammen mit den Koordinaten. So lässt sich das wirtschaftliche und technische Potenzial von AMPERAGE in der konkreten Anwendung analysieren und ein geeigneter Standort bestimmen – sehr genau und zuverlässig.
