Direct current - turnaround without change?
"We need a turnaround without change" - this is how Guido Ege, Head of Product Management and Product Development at Lapp, puts it when talking about direct current.
Especially when the source of electricity generation comes from renewable energies such as photovoltaics or wind power, it becomes clear what he means by this. This is because they produce direct current (DC), which first has to be converted into alternating current (AC) via inverters - and as many appliances and drives only run on direct current, it has to be converted again. This results in enormous conversion losses. It is therefore clear: "The long-term phase-out of fossil fuels can only be achieved efficiently if we consistently switch more and more to direct current and avoid conversion losses." Lapp recognized this early on and has therefore been involved in this topic for many years - including in the DC industry research project, together with the Technical University of Illmenau.
Guido Ege, Head of Product Management and Product Development at U.I. Lapp, welcomes you to the presentation "Direct current - change without change?".
Date: November 26, SPS Connect - 3:50 - 4:10 p.m.
