AVL SPECTRA™ technology delivers highly efficient, compact power conversion for critical applications, ensuring uninterrupted power via UPS systems. This includes enabling ultra-fast high-power EV charging, or managing grid-scale battery energy storage (BESS) PCS. Conversion efficiencies exceeding 98.5%, a modular design for easy scalability from 100 kW to multi-MW, ultra-fast dynamic response to grid and load changes are possible. And AVL SPECTRA™ provides integrated protection, diagnostics, and remote monitoring for reliable, high-performance power conversion that meets today's demanding energy applications.
Ensure seamless renewable integration and grid compliance with the AVL SPECTRA™ Grid Emulator. Delivering high-power, wide-bandwidth simulation up to megawatt levels, the Grid Emulator replicates real-world grid conditions in the lab. It allows for validation of inverters, grid tied systems such as energy storage systems and electrolyzer under fault, islanding, and dynamic load scenarios. Modular and scalable, the AVL SPECTRA™ Grid Emulator supports development and validation of a reliable, inverter-based resource dominated LV grids.
From single‐cell validation to full‐scale system integration, AVL’s electrolyzer portfolio covers every step: Comprehensive testing with cell, stack and system level testbeds, that ensure performance, durability, and safety. System integration with turnkey integration services for hydrogen production plants, including balance-of-plant design and commissioning as well as service and maintenance. Reliable and efficient hydrogen production enabled with AVL’s electrolyzer solutions.
With the growing demand for efficient and sustainable heating solutions, industrial heat pumps play a key role in decarbonizing thermal energy systems. Their performance, safety, and compliance with European standards must be validated under controlled and reproducible conditions. Advanced climate and thermal cycling testing platforms replicate real world indoor and outdoor conditions for heat pumps, battery systems, and power electronics. With precise control of temperature, humidity, and stress cycles, our systems validate performance, durability, and safety across the entire operating range.
Generator sets (Gensets) must deliver reliable, compliant power under every condition, and AVL's testing portfolio covers the complete genset system. AVL provides high-precision testbeds for diesel, gas, and hybrid prime movers. This includes battery emulation, fuel conditioning and metering with multi-fuel capabilities, exhaust-gas and particulate measurement for environmental compliance. Moreover, grid-emulation for seamless microgrid and utility interconnection, and comprehensive dynamic performance verification including transient response, harmonic distortion, and protection-system testing is possible.
We are at the forefront of innovative enegry solutions, specializing in hydrogen production, electrolyzer technologies, battery-electric systems, and fuel cell applications.
