from 500 VA to 8 MVA, our
standard or customized
UPS solutions provide up to
99.99% availability for mission

Industrial chargers and

DC power systems
Ready to meet the toughest
challenges in industrial
environments, our robust range
of thyristor or switch-mode DC
chargers allow AEG PS to offer
optimized solutions.
Features and benefits:

Batteries
With our considerable in-house
knowledge of battery
technologies, we can provide
expert advice on battery
specification, selection,
operation and testing. Our
total system solutions include a
wide range of products using
lithium-ion, lead-acid and
nickel-cadmium batteries in
vented and gas-recombination
technologies. Batteries can be

supplied, installed, maintained

and replaced by our global
service teams. Our specialists
will provide an optimum
battery configuration meeting
railway load, environmental
and aging requirements.
Built-in communications
We offer a wide range of
communication interfaces
including RS232, SNMP, J-Bus,
Modbus, Profibus, CAN-bus
and TCP/IP interfaces.
Turnkey power solutions
Our engineers design
complete solutions including
distribution cabinets, generator
back-up systems and complete
containerized solutions when
required. The overall systems
are stringently tested in our
premises and include factory
acceptance testing performed
in the presence of customer
representatives.
Overhead UPS
In some situations it may be
preferable to use the catenary
supply. For those cases AEGPS
is capable of providing a
complete UPS and charger
solution saving the use of a
diesel generator by using the
mains as a redundant power
source. For more information
see page 6.

Infrastructure

emergency lighting
With a range of UPS systems
from 500VA to 8MVA we
manufacture systems to meet
every conceivable application
including datacenters, ticketing,
emergency lighting, passenger

cation and control rooms.
Single phase UPS are available
both in off and on-line modes
and in freestanding or 19" rack
configurations. Three phase
UPSs are available from 10kVA
to 1MVA modules. AEGPS
UPS meet IEC 62040-3

Solar turnkey
solutions
Train stations and platform
shelters provide an excellent
opportunity to mount solar
PV panels and to generate
low carbon energy. This can
be used to form part of the
rail operators environmental
objectives and may also
provide a source of income
through feed-in tariffs. A solar
PV installation that has a low
tilt angle and therefore lower
aesthetic impact could give
installed capacities of around
75 to 150Wp/m, although the
solar PV array is not mounted
at the optimum angle for peak
production. If mounted at only
10 degrees a solar PV can still
yield 790 to 970kWh/kWp in
central Europe. AEG Power
Solutions can provide a project
managed, turnkey solution
using the market leading
design tools, high quality solar
PV modules and inverters, from
1kVA to 1MVA, in stand-alone
or container solution.

Overhead
UPS

Innovative
power
AEG PS have developed
uninterruptible power supplies
that take their input from both
the local 400 V AC supply and
the 25 kV overhead line (OLE)
supply at the same time. The
UPS provides redundancy and
increases the overall safety of
the installation. This avoids
the use of generators, which
require regular maintenance
and refueling, an expensive
and time-consuming process.
The two supplies are combined
within the UPS and are used to
charge the standby battery and
power the inverter. The inverter
supplies pure, uninterrupted

power to the critical load.

It needs both the local mains
supply and the 25kVA OLE to
both fail before the batteries
begin to discharge. Using two
independent sources of power
meets the railways requirement
of independent back-up
supplies for critical equipment
without resorting to generators.

Robust rectifiers
The 25 kV OLE might generate
spikes, sags and surges
caused by the current draw
of locomotives. Those are likely
to damage the input stages

of conventional UPS. AEGPS

solution was both innovative
and simple. AEGPS were able
to build robust rectifiers to
meet the demanding nature of
the railway environment. The
system shown is typical of
those installed on the UKs
West Coast Main Line and
consists of a 220 kVA Protect 4
model UPS coupled to 25 kV
traction rectifiers supplying
650V single phase power via a
400A static transfer switch.
The complete system is
supported by VRLA batteries
giving ten minutes autonomy
in the unlikely event that both
main and overhead line
supplies fail.
Features and benefits:
Two power sources:
catenary and public mains
Output isolation transformer
Replacement of
diesel generator
Full range 10 120kVA
Modular traction rectifier,
with MTTR <20 minutes

The AEG Power Solutions ecopx

Hybrid Architecture solution is
an innovative, highly-reliable
system that optimizes the
entire energy system.
Intelligent diesel generator
management results in
reduced fuel consumption,
less frequent servicing and
prolonged generator lifetime,
all of which help further
reduce operating expenses.
The ecopx solution manages
network site power from
end-to-end; from energy
generation to energy storage,
load surveillance and remote
management. ecopx offers
unmatched benefits in cost,
savings, security and reliability.
Powering GSM-R networks, is
one of the possible examples,
that will benefit from ecopx.
