EDITRON TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

There are many advantages of the EDITRON transport system, which ranges from 30-1000kW. The high-efficiency technology reduces fuel consumption and improves operational reach, all while emitting zero emissions.

At the same time, the sophisticated control and monitoring software is capable of self-diagnosis and constantly monitors vehicle characteristics, it reports, among other things, on engine temperature and remaining milage.

In addition, the available torque is increased when accelerating, which improves performance over traditional internal combustion engines.

EDITRON OFF-HIGHWAY

Demand for electric and hybrid machines is getting bigger and bigger, which is why Danfoss' broad product portfolio can make them a leading player in the 'Off-highway' market. The system offers outstanding efficiency and is designed to work in harsh environments such as mining, forestry and harbors. The off-highway power range covers 30-1000kW.

EDITRON MARINE SYSTEM

Danfoss has designed the EDITRON marine system in collaboration with ship owners, operators and shipyards to offer custom hybrid and electric drive systems. For smaller vessels, a DC-Grid hybrid propulsion solution is offered. This solution is extremely flexible and easy to manage.

Danfoss EDITRON marine system has a power range of up to 4000kW, while being able to meet impressive weight, size and fuel consumption goals.

DANFOSS EM-PMI

EM-PMI can act as either motor or generator.

PARALLEL HYBRID SYSTEM

In parallel hybrid systems, there is an electrical unit (EM-PMI) that acts as either a generator or motor depending on the operating state. The EM-PMI is mounted between the internal combustion engine and the consumer, and the power is transmitted through it, the EM-PMI is connected to the energy storage (battery, supercapacitor) via the inverter. The inverter controls when the energy storage is charged (generator) and discharged (combustion engine).

In combination with an energy storage device, the EM-PMI can thereby support the internal combustion engine under peak loads, and then be recharged when the internal combustion engine load decreases.

SERIEL HYBRID SYSTEM

Serial hybrid is a system where the current changes from mechanical power to electrical power and then back to mechanical power when torque is needed. This means that there is an EM-PMI connected to the internal combustion engine and an EM-PMI connected to the load (wheels, propulsion, hydraulic pump, etc.), the inverter controls both EM-PMI and energy storage (battery, supercapacitor) and connected between generator and load.

In this type of system, the internal combustion engine can run independently of the load. It can be driven at a constant speed at the optimum operating point when torque is needed, and then at light load it can be run at idle or even closed completely. This kind of operation is made possible with the energy storage that controls the load demand from diesel. Both peak loads and start-up can be supplied from the energy storage unit.

The EM-PMI connected to the internal combustion engine can also be used as a motor that allows start / stop functionality.

FULL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Full electrical system consists of energy storage (battery, supercapacitor), electrical unit (EM-PMI) driving the load (wheel, hydraulic pump, propulsion, etc.) and inverter controlling EM-PMI. Energy storage is usually charged from the grid and used to carry the current load. The inverter is used to control the EM-PMI running the load.

In full electrical systems, all loads are electrically driven. Energy storage is possible through electric braking or other deceleration functions.
