Imagine a device that acts like a multilingual translator for electricity – converting energy between batteries, solar panels, and power grids at lightning speed. That's precisely what high-frequency energy storage inverters do. This reference design provides an overview into the implementation of a GaN-based single-phase string inverter with bidirectional power conversion system for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The design consists of two string inputs, each able to handle up to 10 photovoltaic (PV) panels in. The 25 kW bi-directional T-type inverter demonstrates the performance of Wolfspeed's 650 V and 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs within high power systems such as solar inverters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), EV fast chargers, HVDC applications, high power PSU for AI/datacenters and.

Bi-directional converters use the same power stage to transfer power in either directions in a power system. Helps reduce peak demand tariff. V2G needs “Bi-Directional” Power Flow.
