Applications for Renewables
Solar Farms
Our DC switch strippers ensure uninterrupted power for critical operations within the solar farm to ensure reliable and continuous power. Telecoms chargers ensure reliable communications.
Onshore Wind Farms
Supporting the switchgear at the wind farm our DC switch trippers ensure reliable and continuous power. The DC system is the backbone of a high-voltage industrial/utility substation. In the event of a power failure, our battery tripping units are on hand to operate the equipment.
Offshore Wind Farms
Industrial chargers are indispensable components in utility substations, safeguarding critical systems and contributing to overall reliability and safety. PB Design have provided DC battery tripping units for many of the leading UK offshore wind farms with systems up to 300A in size.
Hydro
Industrial chargers contribute to this redundancy by ensuring that backup batteries are always charged and ready. In critical situations, having a fully charged battery can prevent system failures and minimise downtime. Hydro electricity is no exception to ensure safe, reliable power.
Energy Storage
Even when you are storing energy, the onsite switchgear needs a reliable DC source to operate. Our battery charger ensures that essential electrical systems within the substation continue to operate even during power outage, protecting relays, control and interlocking circuits.
