Virtual Synchronous Machine 3 Phase 9 10kVA Perfect for off-grid with generator support or on-grid

Underpinned by patented rackless thermal-efficient modular design, patented converter topologies, and patented control algorithms, this Virtual Synchronous Machine (VSM) is a power electronic converter that behaves like conventional synchronous machines. Developed by Dr Qing-Chang Zhong, a Mathematician with multiple PHD's in Electrical Power Conversion. The result is "Genius Class". Made in USA. They have up to two MPPT Solar inputs and one battery connector, and can be configured for single-phase, split-phase, or three-phase AC applications. This product has a capacity of 9-10kVA. Multiple units can be directly stacked up to over 1MVA.
Main Features
Capable of blackstart and forming a grid
Capable of regulating frequency and voltage, meeting the FCAS requirement of fast frequency response.
Capable of operation in islanded and grid-tied modes
Capable of operation individually or in parallel with multiple units
Capable of operating with less expensive PV Inverters to charge batteries and operate loads without the grid.
Capable of detecting the loss of the grid and disconnecting seamlessly from the grid when the grid is lost
Capable of re-synchronizing with the grid when the grid recovers and re-connecting to the grid seamlessly
Impeccable safety features with common ground for 3 Phase, PV, Battery and Case. Plus constant monitoring of GFCI components that assure safety.
Built-in MPPT
All the above-mentioned functions are achieved autonomously without relying on communication through additional infrastructure or human intervention
This VSM can democratise the Grid providing a Good Actor that can be Distributed in a community or micro-grid.

Bruce, I have absolutely no idea what you just said, but how good is that!

[@Safiery]

Yes it’s the best tech I’ve touched in a long time. Its operation is so simple

[@bentheguru4986]

Huge amount of terms thrown around for which I understood but many will/would not. All I kept asking through the video was this supposed to be released on the 1st of April? Your company makes some great products on paper but thats as far as they get as prices are through the roof, guessing this will sit up there with unobtainium.

This is a 2025 product for us. The IEEE Standard was published as a draft as we announce this. Its in a totally new classification and not inverter class. Less then 500kW it is very competitive for off-grid/genset/microgrid applications. There is one I know at Dalrymple Bay in Sth Australia, and its 30MW. Electranet reports: Financially, Dalrymple Bay VSM has been successful, earning significant revenue from frequency control ancillary services (FCAS). By 2021, its performance was robust enough that it had returned the $12 million grant it had received from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). That was in 3 years! This system is notable for its role in forming an autonomous regional microgrid. In the event of a transmission line failure, it can operate independently, supplying power to local customers and integrating with the nearby 91 MW Wattle Point Wind Farm to create a 100% renewable energy grid.

@@Safiery All very well but your audiance here is not likely the types who are building megawatt systems. Many of us have to make our own money to spend rather than wasting others (tax-payers). Yes, you dodged the part of products being priced out of manys reach.

You have my interest. Small looking connectors on it. I would say a disassembly is in order!!! I use an outback inverter to power my off-grid home and it has a fairly huge transformer inside. It also has a rating far far lower than this unit so I'm interested in how they performed this magic. I'll subscribe in hopes of a teardown!!! In the infamous words of Dave Jones @EEVblog "Don't turn it on.... Take it apart"

Hi No Tear down. What's inside here is secret squirrel stuff.

[@dersteer]

@@Safiery Ahhhhhhh... I know how to read that :) Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Just looking at the connectors pretty much tells the story.

[@Safiery]

@@dersteer Yes 400V doesn't need big connectors... and neutral plus battery negative and solar PV negative all bonded to chassis for safety.

[@ikester475]

Interesting! Curious as to how well this would scale. What's the cost per watt? Also just how efficient is it? Those heat sink fins look like they could augment home heating.

[@Safiery]

We can scale it to 1MW easily. There is no data link required between them

[@Tool-d5w]

Without a price attached meaningless
