About BeXema
BeXema is a business division of HORIBA FuelCon GmbH based in Barleben near Magdeburg. Since 2014, power electronics solutions for applications in industry, mobility and energy have been developed and manufactured there. The portfolio includes high-voltage emulators (battery, motor, grid and photovoltaic emulators), DC source-sink units for battery, fuel cell and electrolysis test benches, drive inverters, grid simulators with blackout simulation, power supply units for electrolysis, industrial battery energy storage systems (BESS) as well as SiC-based systems in the multi-megawatt range. The products are used, among other things, in the automotive industry, the energy sector, hydrogen and battery technology as well as in research and science. Thanks to a high depth of manufacturing at a single site and worldwide product certifications (including CSA, GOST, TÜV, UL, VDE), tailored systems are delivered worldwide. Services include commissioning, calibration, maintenance, remote support and training in German and English.
