This year's business reception organised by the district of Miesbach focused on the central theme of ‘New Energy - Entrepreneurship’. In a time of change and technological innovation, the event focused on those who are actively shaping the future of the region with courage and visionary ideas and are prepared to break new ground. For his Stercom Power Solutions GmbH was honoured with the business award for its outstanding achievements in the field of energy and technology and its ‘courage to start up’.

Stercom has gained Tesvolt as a strategic co-partner. Two innovation leaders in the fields of energy storage and innovative charging technology and high-performance storage are thus pooling their expertise. Among other things, the two companies want to join forces to drive forward the wireless charging of electric cars, buses and lorries and thus make electric driving even faster, more efficient and more cost-effective.

The Einstein Elevator is a large research facility worth 34 million euros, developed by the Hannover Institute of Technology (HITec) at Leibniz University. Its aim is to enable interdisciplinary insights into the behavior of various materials in microgravity or adjustable gravitational conditions.

The ability to fully charge batteries in a short period is a key factor in the success of electric mobility, alongside a sufficient infrastructure and powerful batteries. Stercom Power Solutions is introducing a groundbreaking product to the market with the OnBoard Charger 22 kW (OBC_22kW), which addresses the currently lengthy AC charging times. "The OnBoard Charger OBC_22kW significantly reduces the charging duration of vehicle batteries even when using AC charging," the company states. This innovation is essential for enhancing user convenience and promoting the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

Stercom Power Solutions presented its new bidirectional DC/DC booster, the SPB 30kW, at the PCIM in Nuremberg. This booster enables the active connection of a storage system to an intermediate circuit and can be used in all applications involving lithium batteries as well as supercapacitor stacks. The new product is the result of close collaboration in the field of battery and cell management between Stercom Power Solutions and the semiconductor manufacturer Analog Devices (ADI).

Electric mobility faces two significant challenges that are closely interconnected: the lack of infrastructure and the range of electric vehicles. The charging system developed by Stercom, ICI (Inductive Charge Inverter), offers a solution for both aspects through inductive fast charging. "ICI demonstrates its potential particularly in public transportation. Buses in cities typically follow the same routes and pass by central hubs. These locations are ideal for a type of inductive pit stop," explains Robert Sterff, Managing Director of Stercom Power Solutions.
