EES
Electrical Energy Storage (EES) installations have experienced radical growth during the last few years. Several chemistries and system configurations have appeared with Lithium, Ni-Cd, Redox Flow Batteries and Supercapacitors leading the market. Power Control Systems (PCS) such as epic power integrated DC/DC solutions can play an important role in the new global scenario.
As photovoltaic installations work in DC, any energy storage system based on batteries or supercapacitors can benefit from a simpler and higher efficient way of producing and storing energy. Flexible DC/DC converters with a very wide working range on both sides allow for an optimal and customized solutions for each project.
any energy storage
Epic power bidirectional DC/DC converters have been designed to work with any kind of battery chemistry, at any voltage and at any current.
Parallelization in DC is simple and allows to build bigger or smaller installations depending on the number of units installed. Automatic operation and internal communication do the rest to ease the use of the technology.

complete turn-key solutions
Complete turn-key solutions where batteries/supercapacitors are integrated with a pre-configured PCS start a standardization process in the EES & PCS industry that has traditionally been project-centered and customized.
Case studies
AGVs & shuttles (supercapacitor powered)
Bidirectional DC/DC converters applied to shuttles allow energy consumption from supercapacitors and charge from the grid with only one component. Electrified monorails become unnecessary in warehouses.
Logistics – AGVs (battery powered)
Reduction in size, cost and weight in battery powered industrial vehicles through DC/DC converters. DC motors are removed in favour of AC more standard and smaller solutions.
A hybrid powered solution for cranes achieve reductions in fuel consumption, size of generator and braking resistor bank. Energy stored is used by a DC/DC converter to counterweight the power requirements and save the braking energy.
Electronic counterweight and peak shaving can be provided by a bidirectional DC/DC converter-based solution working with batteries and/or supercapacitors.
The use of less power from the grid or the reduction of the overall energy consumption can be achieved with battery and/or supercapacitor powered DC/DC converter-based solutions.
Combine a traditional fuel generator with a battery- powered system based on DC/DC to make a hybrid boat. Charge your batteries from the wind and move the boat freely without the need for it in the harbour.
