Eaton Corporation introduced advanced utility-scale inverter technology in its new Series 6001 energy storage grid-connect inverter, engineered to provide improved power stability for wind and solar energy customers.
A four-quadrant inverter for battery charge and discharge, the Eaton Series 6001 is engineered to withstand demanding applications with a rugged design. The dust-tight section protects the liquid-cooled inverter and electronics control components from harsh and dusty environments. Additionally, a vented section houses robust air-cooled magnetics.
The Series 6001 is rated for 500 kilowatt (kW), 1000 kW and 1500 kW applications. Designed for a 20-year life for utility applications, the Series 6001 has conservatively rated magnetics, liquid-cooled power modules with over seven million hours mean time between failure (MTBF) and a rugged enclosure for demanding environments. Additionally, the transformerless design, proprietary control strategies and filter design result in over 98 percent peak power efficiency.
