VONK Control Platform
Customised application based on standard building blocks provide optimised solutions
- Multiple applications: high voltage / high frequency, high power, low voltage / high current, DC-grid connection, H2
- Easily adapted to various power levels – only require changes to power related components
- Minimal engineering time required, less development risks
STATE-OF-THE-ART & PROPRIETARY
- All power levels, bi-directional
- Integrated controls for fast- and slow loops
- Large number of in- and outputs, high accuracy (ppm at system level) and high speed (ns for controls)
- External communication
