Initial Situation
A company in the renewable energy and Biomedical engineering sector approached TPS Elektronik with the urgent need to modernize its aging power and battery systems. The company required a flexible power supply concept that could reliably support both industrial production facilities and medical-grade equipment.
-
In the industrial division, the client needed a robust power supply capable of handling high-voltage loads and continuous operation in harsh environments.
-
In the healthcare division, a medical-grade power supply was required to comply with international safety standards and to be developed in parallel with software for critical medical devices.
-
At the same time, the company was developing an e-mobility product line that required an innovative on-board charger, validated against a proven reference design.
-
For quality assurance, the client lacked a partner with a comprehensive range of battery testing solutions – from BMS testing to complete battery pack validation systems.
-
In addition, the company was planning a large-scale battery energy storage project that required scalable architecture and secure communication protocols.
The previous supplier was unable to deliver this complex combination of power electronics, software integration, and high-voltage testing. Therefore, the company turned to TPS Elektronik, known for advanced power solutions and long-term collaboration in demanding projects.
