German term

AC-seitig am Netz liegend

German to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation
Ein derartiges System wird durch die XXX, vorgeschlagen, wobei eine 5kW Brennstoffzelle als Energieerzeuger dient, deren Spannung über einen DCDC Konverter von 30…60V auf 750V angehoben und so die Zwischenkreisspannung eines, **AC-seitig am Netz liegenden** Dreiphasen-Pulswechselrichters gebildet wird.

Man sagt im Deutschen nicht "AC-seitig", sondern Wechselspannungsseitig, d.h. auf der Wechselspannungsseite.

on the AC side, connected to the mains

That's how I read this - the mains after all only have an AC side here, I'd say...

agree hazmatgerman (X) : I understand that the fuel cell acts - via converter - as a quasi-AC power supply. Right?

agree Johannes Gleim : Wichtig ist, daß es am Netz angeschlossen ist. Und das bedeutet immer Wechselstrom. AC ist also redundant.

located on the AC side of the mains

This -seitig word addition has also given me some headaches before, but I have translated it as "on the **** side" before. I hope this will help.

with its AC-side connected to the grid (mains)

As thanks to Nicola Tesla most electric grids are AC the "AC-seitig" obviously refers to the unit (Dreiphasen-Pulswechselrichter).
