SiC PCS, sick ROI: Silicon Carbide PCS Boosting BESS Performance and Resilience

Synopsis

Tailored Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs provide several crucial benefits for BESS Power Conversion Systems (PCS) compared to conventional systems:

• Better roundtrip efficiency, leading to higher energy throughput, reduced battery CAPEX, or improved battery aging.
• A very robust topology with full bidirectionality and stable transient operation for use cases such as FRT and inertia.
• Significant design reserves allowing multiple power cycles per day and overload capability for inertia applications.
