Efficient bi directional DC PSU/Inverters for low power distributed energy systems and DC load/supplies

该项目将开发一种创新的、高效的低功耗（<1 Kw）混合直流电源（电池充电器）/逆变器，用于分布式能源系统的部署。这项技术是从根本上提高电网储能系统分布式边缘的经济性和可扩展性所必需的。该技术将进一步利用PPM（Tim Crocker）已建立的高频功率MOSFET专业技术，该技术目前正应用于双向AC-DC转换器，以及Moixa在系统集成和设计方面的专业技术。这种低功耗、高能效的电源/逆变器有助于实现小型大规模分布式储能系统的新市场，使其成为高效的源和汇。它是一种使能技术，用于DC微电网，包括小型微型发电，以与电网规模的能量系统交互，作为聚合资源。传统的逆变器/电池充电器成本高，并且设计用于更高的功率水平。该项目将同时解决功率转换架构的技术创新，以及最终设计的积极成本目标，以开发小尺寸，低成本。高效率逆变器/电池充电器在500 W和1 kW规模。Moixa计划作为第一个集成到其MASLOW系统中的客户进行商业试点部署。"

"The project will develop and prototype an innovative and highly efficient low power (<1Kw) hybrid DC power supply (battery charger)/Inverter for deployment in distributed energy systems. This technology is needed in order to radically improve the economics and scalability of distributed edge of grid energy storage systems. The technology will extend use PPM’s (Tim Crocker) established high frequency power MOSFET expertise that is now being applied to bi-directional AC-DC converters, and Moixa’s expertise in system integration and design.Such low power, energy efficient power supply/inverters help enable new markets of small scale mass distributed energy storage systems to be efficient and act as source and sink. It is an enabling technology for DC microgrid, including small scale microgeneration, to interact with the grid scale energy system, as an aggregated resource. Traditionally inverter / battery chargers are high cost and designed for much higher power levels. This project will address both technical innovations in power conversion architecture, and aggressive cost targets for the final design, to develop a small size, low cost. high efficiency inverter/battery charger at the 500W and 1kW scales. Moixa plan to deploy in commercial pilots as a first customer integrated into their MASLOW system. "
