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 energy storage systems.
Unlike conventional inverters that only convert DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current), bidirectional inverters can also convert AC back to DC, allowing energy to be stored or fed back into the grid. This functionality is essential for applications like renewable energy systems, microgrids, and battery backup solutions.
Using a bidirectional inverter in a solar energy system offers several advantages: Bidirectional inverters allow for efficient two-way power conversion between AC and DC, enabling the system to charge batteries from both solar panels and the grid, and to supply power from batteries during outages.
Another requirement that is becoming more prevalent for inverter power stages is the need for bidirectional power transfer. This is important in storage ready inverters where there can be a need for the power from the grid to be stored in local power storage like a battery.
This reference design provides a design template for implementing a three-level, three-phase, gallium nitride (GaN) based ANPC inverter power stage. The use of fast switching power devices makes it possible to switch at a higher frequency of 100 kHz, reducing the size of magnetics for the filter and increasing the power density of the power stage.
This reference design is built in a modular construction to allow easy replacement of power switching devices to allow easy comparison between them. The following boards combine to form this three-phase inverter reference design: A motherboard, comprising of the LCL filter, sensing electronics, bias power, switching relays and cooling fans.
