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和高效的低功率（<1Kw）混合直流电源（电池充电器）/逆变器，用于分布式能源系统。为了从根本上提高分布式边缘电网储能系统的经济性和可扩展性，需要这种技术。该技术将扩展PPM （Tim Crocker）建立的高频功率MOSFET专业知识，该专业知识目前应用于双向AC-DC转换器，以及Moixa在系统集成和设计方面的专业知识。这种低功耗、节能的电源/逆变器有助于使小规模大规模分布式储能系统的新市场变得高效，并充当源和汇。它是一种使能技术，使直流微电网，包括小规模微发电，与电网规模的能源系统交互，作为一个聚合资源。传统的逆变器/电池充电器成本高，设计用于更高的功率水平。该项目将解决电源转换架构的技术创新，以及最终设计的激进成本目标，以开发小尺寸，低成本。500W和1kW的高效逆变器/电池充电器。Moixa计划将其作为第一个集成到其MASLOW系统的客户部署在商业试点中。”

"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. "
