Mersen, leading the way in energy transition markets

Contribute to efficient renewable energy distribution 

Focus on Mersen’s contribution to the development of solutions for renewable energy distribution and storage.  

Conversion and transmission: protecting systems and minimizing losses  

Operators require conversion and transmission systems that are increasingly powerful and efficient in order to distribute energy at the point of consumption and minimize losses. HVDC* is a common technology that uses overhead transmission lines or submarine cables to transmit power from various sources (solar, wind) over long distances. The systems use converters to transform alternating current into direct current and vice versa. 

Mersen’s products help to optimize the efficiency of the converters (interconnection busbars, cooling devices, power capacitors) and ensure the electrical protection of installations (fuses).  

*High-voltage direct current. 

Storage: making energy available when you need it 

For intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind, storage solutions are critical to ensure that the energy is available at all times. The industry is focusing on lithium-ion batteries, which have the advantage of being both compact and safe, in addition to being able to efficiently manage peaks in energy demand.  

Mersen’s solutions provide electrical protection of storage batteries (high-speed fuses) and improve connections between the cells or the modules (busbars).
