Empowering the All Electric Society
Together for a sustainable world.
The All Electric Society
Climate change and the energy revolution are presenting the world with major challenges and complex issues. Phoenix Contact has the answer: the All Electric Society – a world in which energy from renewable resources is available in sufficient quantities and at affordable prices. A world in which renewable energy is not only generated and utilized consistently, but also the primary energy requirement is reduced through efficiency measures, and intelligent and networked systems are created. Solutions and technologies for electrification, networking, and automation are the key. These are required so that sector coupling can be realized, whereby energy generated from renewable sources is used as required.
In fact, we already have everything we need for a sustainable future today – the energy of the sun, the power of water, and the power of wind. And the technologies and expertise of Phoenix Contact. We just need to act. Together. Not tomorrow. Not just at some point. Now.
The DC initiative DC is becoming suitable for everyday use and is conquering industry
Direct current is everywhere. Renewable power generation produces direct current. Battery storage systems store direct current. Electric vehicles consume direct current. The recovery of kinetic energy (recuperation) produces direct current. Because efficiency and decarbonization are becoming increasingly important for industry and trade, the technology is taking on a completely new relevance.
Phoenix Contact has a holistic understanding of the subject, develops safe products for its handling, establishes its own production facilities with DC power grids, and is part of alliances for the standardization of technologies.
