Sécheron brings years of experience with power converters for traction power substations to develop its EFFICIENT-ESS energy storage systems for excess braking energy. Our EFFICIENT-ESS products were initially based on supercapacitors, but can now also be used with batteries.
Our energy storage systems can help reduce overall energy consumption and are both durable and easy to maintain. Whatever your energy storage system needs are, you can count on us to recommend and deliver the best solution for your unique situation.
