Modular and High Efficiency Low Voltage AC-coupled Converter for Utility Scale PV and BESS

Synopsis

The energy storage market is shifting toward longer-duration systems and co-located Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with solar plants due to limited grid connection capacity. Modular, high-efficiency central inverter-based Power Converter Systems offer cost-effective solutions for these demands, simplifying operations with a single converter type. EPC Power introduces a new Silicon Carbide-based modular bi-directional converter for PV, BESS, and hybrid systems. The +500 kW converter, scalable to 6.6 MW power blocks, features common mode voltage free system which enables high efficiency for low-voltage coupled PV+BESS applications.
