Epic Power Converters » Markets » Electro Mobility Electro Mobility Bidirectional DC/DC converters are the corner stone of V2G – Vehicle to Grid, V2H – Vehicle to Home and V2V – Vehicle to Vehicle technologies. Enabling EVs to return energy to the grid when parked and charging, will increase grid resilience, allow for better exploitation of renewable sources, and lower the cost of ownership for EV owners – leading to new business opportunities and clear advantages for EV users, consumers and EV fleet managers. With our systems any EV charging solution provider can easily integrate V2x bidirectional charging points and stations. With our communication add-ons, the converters can be controlled with either Chademo and CCS protocols. Easy to integrate We are offering improved DC/DC bidirectional highly-efficient low-cost converters for V2X applications in residential, industrial or EV fleet management infrastructure. Our converters feature: Isolation. Our converters are isolated topologies, therefore, no bulky transformers are required. Direct solar string connection with embedded MPPT Easy parallelization of new channels Additional EES integration (external back-up) Easy to integrate Using our DC/DC technology enables direct connection between two cars and/or emergency charging. Our DC/DC converters can also be used as back-up battery chargers, reducing the number of components. We also offer solutions for off-grid installations. We are your power electronics partner Project MOVES Proyectos Singulares Development of bidirectional high-efficiency low-cost DC-DC conversion systems for V2G/V2H charging infrastructure in residential and industrial environments. This project has received funding from the IDAE Instituto para la Diversificación y el Ahorro de la Energía (Institute for the Diversification and Saving of Energy) under grant number PGE -MOVES – SING -2019 – 000070 Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica (Ministry for the Ecological Transition) Case studies Case study Cranes 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. Case study Industrial Elevator Electronic counterweight and peak shaving can be provided by a bidirectional DC/DC converter-based solution working with batteries and/or supercapacitors. Case study Energy recovery system for elevators in office building. Case study. Case study Marine DC power supply. A case study of electric boats. Case study Solar powered elevators in a residential building: A case study. Case study A high-tech hybrid boat powered by solar energy: Sobe Sunset Case study DC-DC CONVERTERS FOR FUEL CELL APPLICATIONS Case study Occupant evacuation elevators technology: A case study. Case study 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. Case study 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. Case study Passengers Elevator 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. Case study Hybrid boats 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. Case study Off-grid hydrogen generation Off-grid solar panel powered solution to feed hydrogen fuel cells through isolated DC/DC converters. Each converter provides MPPT per solar string to achieve highest efficiency. Case study On-grid hydrogen generation Flexible solution for grid-connected hydrogen fuel cells through isolated DC/DC converters. High efficiency, robustness and easy parallelization for infinite combinations of power requirements. Related contentLiftAGVs – ShuttlesDC MicrogridEESMarineCranesElectro Mobility
