Power Converters for Renewables (Microgrid, DC/DC, AC/DC)

AEC has the engineering capabilities to tackle custom and off-the-shelf power conversion projects for microgrids, energy storage, bidirectional AC/DC and DC/DC (boost, buck, buck/boost) converters, grid-tie applications, and many other applications. Our 48+ years of experience in power converting will help you get to market quickly. Our power converters are:

Ideal for Energy Storage System (ESS) applications
Available with containerized packaging (20', 30', 40' options)

Containers can be designed to include power electronics, HVAC, power distribution, lighting, etc.

Multi-port units available for combining power sources

Solar, batteries, wind, fuel cell, etc.

Liquid and air cooled designs available
Custom and off-the-shelf hardware available
Fieldbus interfaces available (fiber-optic, Ethernet, Modbus, CAN)
Battery management systems (BMS) interface available
Co-packaing with existing systems possible (batteries, fuel cells, flow batteries)
Our design experience includes 100kW up to 13MW systems

Electronic Load Banks for Aerospace Applications

AEC's electronic load banks are designed to test aerospace generators in production and R&D environments. Unlike other electronic load products, our load banks use high performance control techinques and cutting-edge semiconductors to provide load waveforms with very low harmonic content. Other features include:

Output power up to 1+ MVA (custom levels available)
Seemless integration with AEC Test Stands and Dynamometers
Operate at higher power levels than the electrical distribution can handle by recirculating power within the dynamometer test stand
Small physical footprint compared to passive load banks
Continuously variable power, power factor
Efficiencies >90% - save on electrical costs
Remote control available (Fiber-optic, Modbus, CAN, etc.)

Dynamometers and Test Stands for Automotive and Aerospace Applications

Anderson Electric Controls, Inc. specializes in building custom high-performance dynamometers and test stands. These systems have been used across the world for testing hybrid-electric and electric vehicle inverters, engines, and transmissions, aerospace generators and starters, and many other applications where performance is critical. We build test stands that can operate in etiher R&D or production environments.

Unlike other companies, AEC utilizes state-of-the-art electric motors in order to provide direct-drive solutions for both test stand and dynamometer applications. This eliminates loud and expensive gearboxes, and provides increased performance and efficiencies for high speed and high tolerance applications.

Our dynes and test stands can be provided with full-featured software for remote control and automated testing (LabVIEW-based), or can be integrated into your existing software with our .NET or LabVIEW based drivers.

Anderson Electric Controls has fulfilled the needs of companies in industries ranging from manufacturing to next-gen R&D, our customers have included Advanced Energy, Hamilton Sundstrand, NASA, US Coast Guard, General Motors, Borg Warner, Honeywell / Allied Signal, The Boeing Co., Kimberly Clark, Sonoco, Georgia Pacific, Proctor & Gamble, among many others.
