Elpress and PowerCon
Elpress: Powering PowerCon’s Green Transition with Precision and Reliability
PowerCon, a leading Danish technology company, is at the forefront of the green transition in electrical energy conversion, specializing in megawatt-class electrical converter systems. Originating from the Danish wind power industry, PowerCon has evolved, leveraging its expertise in developing innovative solutions for renewable energy.
Their journey began with producing test systems and undertaking development tasks for major Danish wind power clients. Today, wind power remains a crucial sector for PowerCon, underscored by their recent projects in developing frequency converters for testing new offshore wind turbines.
Since 2015, PowerCon has expanded its prowess into the shore power solutions sector, catering to the shipping industry. Shore power, a sustainable practice where ports supply green energy to docked ships, allowing them to switch off their engines, is a key focus in PowerCon’s commitment to environmental sustainability. PowerCon has made significant strides in this domain, evidenced by the delivery of Europe’s two largest shore power plants in Bergen and Rostock in 2020. Their success can be partly attributed to their long-standing partnership with Elpress. “For 7-8 years, we’ve relied on Elpress crimping tools. The precision and reliability of these tools are vital for our high-power systems, where any compromise in terminal quality can have rapid, significant consequences,” states Alex Patrick Vernersen, Automation Technologist at PowerCon.

PowerCon emphasizes the strength in Elpress’ ability to both produce and develop their products. The ease of communication with a knowledgeable manufacturer significantly benefits the design of new solutions. Particularly, Elpress’ KRF terminals with their intuitive marking system play a critical role in PowerCon’s operations, ensuring the right terminal and die are used for each cable, thereby minimizing errors. PowerCon also places immense value on user safety and tool quality compliance. They utilize Elpress’ preventive maintenance and calibration services to ensure uninterrupted production. Occasional use of Elpress’ rental service has also proven beneficial, highlighting the excellence in Elpress’ customer service. Installation accuracy in PowerCon’s projects is guaranteed through the use of tested and certified products, regular tool service, and skilled operators. Elpress’ involvement extends to training workshops at PowerCon, facilitating knowledge transfer and enhancing operational efficiency. Technical advice, certifications, and access to approved tests provided by Elpress are integral to PowerCon’s operations and a testament to their reliance on Elpress for optimal solutions.
