Advanced Energy introduces the multi-output Ascent MS medium frequency AC power solution

     Advanced Energy is committed to developing a wide range of advanced high-precision power conversion, measurement and control systems and other solutions, and to staying ahead of the industry. The company announced the launch of a new, industry-leading Ascent MS multioutput power system. Ascent MS is a successful medium frequency AC power solution that builds on Advanced Energy's commitment to bringing innovative power technologies to the process equipment necessary to produce advanced photovoltaic solar cells. Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) systems for the production of photovoltaic solar cells have the advantage of minimizing the system and infrastructure costs associated with the process equipment.

     A single Ascent MS power supply system supports up to five individual graphite boat chambers on passivated emitter and Back contact (PERC) PECVD process equipment, helping to optimize power delivery and simplify coating system design. The Ascent MS power supply system, with its quick-connect power outlet and simplified control points, cooling water and electrical input interfaces, provides a more optimized equipment architecture for the entire PERC PECVD coating process, simplifies equipment installation, makes line operation more stable and reliable, and significantly reduces equipment costs. The Ascent MS power supply system can support up to five PECVD graphite boat chambers, enabling PV solar equipment manufacturers to develop more cost-effective PECVD equipment.

     Dave McAninch, Director of strategic marketing at Advanced Energy, said: "The PERC PV solar cell market is highly competitive. Our Ascent MS system offers a highly innovative power supply solution that takes power delivery to an unprecedented level to meet industry demand."

     Over the past few years, PERC has rapidly developed into the most popular photovoltaic solar cell technology, dramatically reducing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Advanced Energy continues to provide more cost-effective power solutions for the photovoltaic solar industry, and has maintained a leading position in the photovoltaic solar cell production equipment market for many years, on the basis of which, it continues to develop power solutions for advanced photovoltaic solar cell technologies such as PERC and heterojunction (HIT). To meet the continuous development of market demand. At present, Advanced Energy has a series of solutions such as RF, intermediate frequency AC, DC and remote ion sources and other plasma power technology has long been in the industry leader.
