Storage bidirectional converters Aton series

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Aton series by Layer Electronics represents advanced technology in bi-directional converters, developed in collaboration with the National Research Council and the University of Palermo. These converters are designed for use with renewable energy sources and various storage systems, offering both local and remote control capabilities.

Specifications
The Aton converters are available in multiple models with power ratings ranging from 2 kW to 300 kW. They support various battery types, including sealed lead-acid, NiCd, Li-Ion, and NaNiCl2. The converters feature a sine wave output with less than 2% harmonic distortion and can operate in both grid-connected and off-grid modes. They offer high efficiency, with European efficiency between 94-95% and CEC weighted efficiency between 97-98%.

Functional Capabilities
The converters can function as grid-connected inverters, off-grid inverters for UPS mode, and power factor correction chargers. They are equipped with protections against overload, overtemperature, and voltage irregularities, and include earth fault detection.

Environmental and Physical Characteristics
The converters operate within a temperature range of -10°C to 55°C and can handle non-condensing humidity levels from 0% to 95%. They have a noise level of less than 50 dBA and are cooled by forced air. The protection rating is IP20.

Compliance and Standards
The Aton series complies with various international standards, including EN 62109-1, EN 62109-2, IEC 62477-1, and several EN and CEI standards related to electromagnetic compatibility and safety.

Layer Electronics, which is still aiming for continuous development, developed a project along with the CNR (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - National Research Council) and the DIEETCAM of the University of Palermo: a bi-directional converter completely controlled by DSP, fed by renewable energy sources (solar, wind, ...) and by a storage system (lead-acid, NiCd, Li-Ion, NaNiCb). The conversion system is able to perform actions of local control, and to respond to remote control signals in order to: > Contribute to processes of regulation of the voltage and frequency of the electrical system in grid connection; > Support the voltage and frequency, maintaining their values within predetermined ranges of variation in stand-alone; Layer Electronics s.r.l. - S.P. km 5,3 C/da S.

Storage bidirectional converters Aton series-2

 Keep adequate power quality indices in all the operating conditions. The following picture shows two possible configurations: According to the needs, the Aton storage converter will work as:  a grid connected inverter from a storage system (lead-acid, NiCd, Li-Ion, NaNiCl2);  an off-grid inverter from a storage system (lead-acid, NiCd, Li-Ion, NaNiCl2) to supply loads during a blackout (the so-called “UPS mode”);  a Power Factor Correction (PFC) charger from mains to recharge the storage system (lead-acid, NiCd, Li-Ion, NaNiCl2).
