Battery Integrated Modular Multifunction Converter

A modular battery integrated converter with a variety of uses.

Solution

The converter has a single stage topology that can easily be configured for AC or DC grids. The modular battery integrated approach provides improved battery control for maximum energy utilization and extended lifetime.

Benefits

•  Improved management of battery modules

•  A single module of the converter produces high quality waveforms

•  Additional modules can increase the storage capacity, voltage, and current ratings of the converter

•  Improved battery control

•  Extended lifetime

Applications

This innovation would be especially useful for large scale energy needs, such as renewable energy storage. Commercial applications include grid energy storage, battery integrated EV drive train, wind power, energy storage at EV charging stations, microgrids, nanogrids, and photovoltaic farms.
