CE+T Power Unveils Scalable, High-Efficiency Bidirectional AC-DC Energy Storage System with Enhanced Grid Interaction Capabilities.

The transcript discusses a versatile power conversion platform designed for energy storage applications. This platform integrates generic DC link and power conversion elements into single systems, allowing for operational efficiency in microgrid functions. The first product released from this platform is a scalable bidirectional AC-DC system that can host 40-kilowatt converters up to 1 megawatt, suitable for both European and US markets with an AC voltage range of 260 to 535 volts and a DC range between 300 and 900 volts. It boasts high efficiency at around 98.5%, achieved through the use of silicon carbide technology, which improves upon previous generation products by reducing losses significantly—over half compared to older models—and enhancing power density (more than 1,000 watts per cubic decimeter). The development process involved software-in-the-loop simulations followed by hardware-in-the-loop testing using real-time devices like microcontrollers before full-scale physical tests were conducted. Emphasis was placed on grid interaction capabilities ensuring robust support during frequency variations as part of standard compliance such as AS4777 requirements.
