Astrolkwx B.V.

Pulsed power solutions up to 100 kV and several hundreds of kA. Pulsed power is a technology that focuses on delivering high-energy electrical pulses. This technology plays a crucial role in enabling applications that require the generation of extreme powers for short periods of time at high repetition, such as heat generation, electromagnetic radiation, magnetic acceleration (fusion power, railgun and satellite launching) material treatment and energy dumping. At the FHI Industriële Elektronica #PEES Andreas Stöckli, CTO of Astrol Switzerland, gives an introduction to pulsed power technology and shares the basics of designing and producing customer specific solid-state pulsed power switches. Also, he dives into the possibilities and the necessity of solid-state power switches in, amongst others, renewable energy applications. After his presentation Andy is available for further discussion at the Astrolkwx booth. Secure your free tickets. We look forward to meeting you on May 28! https://lnkd.in/ej34ah2s

Our collaboration with electrical system integrator BMA Technology has led to the implementation of our ultrafast solid-state DC breaker in the 4th Zeetug, marking a noteworthy achievement in the protection of the onboard DC grid of this all new electric tugboat. In this project we used the #Astrol 1.25 kA 1.5kV solid-state DC breaker. This product was chosen to increase the reliability and security of the onboard grid of the Zeetug.

Astrolkwx goes US! We exhibit at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Nort America where Jeroen Visser and Peter van den Berg represent us. Today Peter will speak at the conference about "Systems integration challenges for hybrid and fully electric vessels". In SMART and sustainable power grids, DC is the power distribution system of choice. In his presentation, Peter gives an overview of the challenges and solutions in system design and topologies such as closed bus tie, multi bus and ring systems. Also, challenges in standardization and regulations will be discussed. There is special attention to solid-state DC breaker technology. This technology plays a crucial role in protecting onboard DC grids against short circuit currents and power overload, as it’s capable of switching off within microseconds. #Astrolkwx #Astrol #DCbreaker #Maritime #EHMXNA

On March 13 & 14 Peter van den Berg and Jeroen Visser will promote our maritime DC solutions at Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo North America #EHMXNA.

We're participating in the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo US! Our DC expert Peter van den Berg will present "Systems integration challenges for hybrid and fully electric vessels". In SMART and sustainable power grids, DC is the power distribution system of choice but cannot be safely deployed without the necessary protection. In this presentation, Peter gives an overview of the challenges and solutions in system design and topologies such as closed bus tie, multi bus and ring systems. Also, challenges in standardization and regulations will be discussed. There is special attention to solid-state DC breaker technology. This technology plays a crucial role in protecting onboard DC grids against short circuit currents and power overload, as it’s capable of switching off within microseconds. #Astrolkwx #Astrol #DCbreaker #Maritime #EHMXNA https://lnkd.in/eSA5yYbR

Do you know how to select the correct air cooled heatsink? The importance of a power electronics system’s thermal household and choosing the correct #heatsink is sometimes underestimated. Often, the designing engineers mainly focus on choosing the right semiconductors and the control electronics. Astrolkwx B.V. and #MeccAL emphasize that the thermal household of the system, including the proper heatsink, is of equal importance. More information?

We are #hiring! Are you the Technical Sales Consultant we are looking for? Our youngest team member Aniket Sarode briefly shares his experience after 3 years of working at #Astrolkwx. "In my role as Technical Sales Consultant I have gained insights into the DC world, worked on different exciting projects ranging from #maritime, #traction, and #renewable #energy markets and contributed to safe deployment of DC grids onboard ships. I had the opportunity to work with a diverse and closely knitted team, and engaged with our global customers and suppliers to discuss technical projects.  I have attended several international conferences to represent Astrolkwx, expand business opportunities, and meet new prospects. What I like about Astrolkwx is our non-micromanagement culture. Everyone is responsible for their own goals and tasks, and makes sure that results are seen at the end of the year. If you believe in our vision of a ‘sustainable fossil free society by applying power electronics’, then I highly recommend this job! Last but not least we have outstanding primary and secondary terms of employment" #powerelectronics #DC #vacancy
