POWER SUPPLIES

Throughout the high-tech polysilicon value chain, AEG

Power Solutions GmbH, located in Germany, has been a
leading supplier of superior high-current power supplies
for many years. AEGs experience across the entire value
chain starts with power supplies for CVD reactors for
polysilicon deposition process, electric power supplies of
crystal growing, wafer-, cell- and module production to
string and central inverters which convert and feed solar
energy into the medium and low voltage grid.

CRYSTAL GROWING POWER SUPPLIES

PROCESS POWER SUPPLY

Besides the Czochralsky process of monocrystalline

silicon crystal growing and the ingot casting process,
various similar processes of crystal growing are used to
produce wafers in an economical manner. The main focus
is on the finished products, which need wafers either in
electronic grade or in solar grade purity. For solar grade
wafers applies more than ever a highly profitable, reliable
and reproducible production due to the requirements
of the high competitive renewable energies market.

Profitability, reliability, and reproducibility are synonymous with competitiveness. Capabilities to fulfill these
key properties are a must-have for any power supply.
Since every crystal growing method has its own unique
technical specialties, AEG offers custom solutions based
on the specific requirements of the electric power supply.

Thyrobox Si
With the introduction of the Thyrobox Si power supply,
AEG Power Solutions now offers an economical DC
power supply which is expressly designed to provide the
current necessary for crystal growing systems.

as well as

high degree of efficiency

high power factor
minimized system perturbation
small footprint
Options include, e.g.:

HMI interface with additional touch display (for local

process operation and/or commissioning)

air or water cooling

field bus interface for connection with DCS (process
control systems)
Specific customized requirements regarding the power
supply can be implemented in the Thyrobox Si on
request to suit particularities within the production
process.
