Problem
The need to integrate renewable energy sources and heavy loads such as electric vehicles in the low voltage grid is demanding for more light, flexible and reliable solutions.
Solution
Compact and light bidirectional AC-DC matrix power converter.
Rewarded with the Semikron Young Engineer Award 2018, ACDC Cube is a single-stage, bidirectional and high-frequency isolated power conversion system. ACDC Cube also uses a novel control method to do the interface between the Alternate Current (AC) distribution network and a battery pack, or other Direct Current (DC) sources/loads, delivering higher power quality in a compact design.
ACDC Cube has lower total volume and weight increased durability and equivalent reliability when compared with standard solutions such as the voltage source converter plus dual active bridge. Due to its innovative features, ACDC Cube is especially suitable to applications where power systems dimensions have very tight limits.
