Aggreko strengthens its energy solutions offering with renewable energy developments
Aggreko has strengthened its energy solutions offering in Europe with the formation of a team dedicated to developing large scale renewable energy projects, working with landowners and industry to increase the amount of clean energy produced in Europe. Led by Jon Crouch, Commercial Director of IPP Solutions, Europe, the team are delivering renewable generation for clients either on site, by private wire connection
or through commercial arrangements like ‘energy as a service’ and corporate power purchase agreements, removing the need for capital outlay.
Working predominantly with the commercial and industrial sectors, Aggreko offers renewable turnkey solutions having the capability to develop, build and operate generation assets with clients paying for energy as they use it. Entering into a Power Purchase Agreement with a credible counterparty such as Aggreko gives customers the ability to control their energy cost and supply over periods from 10 to 20 years. Energy intense industries can ensure they have a reliable
power supply, lock in predictable costs regardless of fluctuating market prices and they can be sure their energy supply is from renewable sources. Speaking about this expanded offering Jon Crouch said “Balancing ESG goals alongside commercial success is putting businesses under extreme pressure, which is why many are looking for more sustainable energy procurement methods”. “Bespoke agreements can be complex and lengthy to establish, and Aggreko is able to operate as a trusted partner making the process as simple as possible for clients and replicating how we work with clients regarding their shorter-term bridging solution needs”.
Offering enhanced energy solutions that bring renewable technologies to clients in more flexible ways– forms part of Aggreko’s sustainability framework, Energising Change. With substantial investment in capability and technology, Aggreko is committed to playing a key role in the development of a renewable infrastructure across Europe Mr Crouch adds “We know that the pressure to accelerate the energy transition is greater than ever, and companies must balance this with their commercial success at a time when costs are high. By working with a strategic partner like Aggreko, who has a track record of delivery, customers can meet their energy aspirations whilst controlling costs through long term agreements and procuring a reliable source of power for their business”.

Power Integrations’ 1700 V Switcher IC Delivers Reliability and Space-Saving Benefits in 800 V BEVs
Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced five new reference designs targeting 800 V automotive applications based on the company’s 1700 V InnoSwitch™3-AQ flyback switcher ICs. Spanning power levels from 16 W to 120 W, the designs leverage both wound and low-profile planar transformers and target automotive applications such as DC-DC bus conversion, inverter emergency power, battery management and power supplies for auxiliary systems. The designs feature Power Integrations’ new wide-creepage InSOP™-28G package, which supports 1000 VDC on the primary side while providing appropriate creepage and clearance between pins in pollution degree 2 environments.
“The new InSOP™-28G package, with its wide 5.1 mm drain-to-source pin creepage distance, addresses the critical need for enhanced safety and reliability in high-voltage applications,” said Mike Stroka, product marketing engineer at Power Integrations. “It provides sufficient isolation that conformal coating can be eliminated, saving a manufacturing process step and associated qualification effort. The InnoSwitch3-AQ IC, featuring a 1700 V silicon-carbide (SiC) switch, is an ideal solution for 800 V vehicles, simplifying manufacturing while enhancing overall system performance and reliability.”
Available from
www.power.com, the following reference designs are all isolated flyback converters based on the 1700 V-rated CV/CC InnoSwitch3-AQ switcher ICs. The three reference designs kits (RDKs) and two design example reports (DERs) are: • RDK-994Q — 35 W ultra-low-profile traction inverter gate-drive or emergency power supply with 40-1000 VDC input and 24 V output;
• RDK-1039Q — 18 W power supply with planar transformer for traction inverter gate driver or emergency power supply;

• RDK-1054Q — 120 W power supply with planar transformer, designed to shrink or eliminate heavy, bulky 12 V batteries;
• DER-1030Q — 20 W four-output power supply—one emergency power supply (EPS) with 24.75 V output and three gate-drive power supplies with 25.5 V output; • DER-1045Q — 16 W four-output power supply—one 14 V EPS output and three gate-drive outputs with split with +18 V / -5 V rails.
Power Integrations’ 1700 V-rated SiC-based CV/CC InnoSwitch3-AQ switching power supply ICs deliver up to 120 watts of output power. The highly integrated ICs reduce power supply bill of materials (BOM) count by as much as 50 percent, saving space, enhancing system reliability and easing component sourcing challenges.
