Epic Power Converters » Markets » Marine Marine DC to DC converter bidirectional DC/DC converters are becoming key elements in the new hybrid and/or full electric marine scenario. Managing the energy flow or doing special MPPT algorithms are the most important task for our DC/DC converters Interest among vessel owners in hybrid and electric propulsion is still growing due to maintenance advantages, fuel-savings and emission reduction. As a microgrid itself, future marine applications are adopting DC power architecture which bring important benefits to the onboard power distribution epic power DC DC converters technology offers the required flexibility to fit in your projects. special MPPT algorithms We can integrate any special MPPT algorithms in our firmware to fit your solar panel distribution and battery requirements. Wide range of operation, fast response, custom regulation and MPPT control allow for a solution beyond the state of the art. Make the most of your space and installation. hybrid propulsion system Now it is possible to use the boat common battery to supply the DC-link of the drive. It allows to have electric power to move in silent and zero emission way among other advantages. Bidirectionality allows for a simplification of system architecture and control to make your boat the same but better. Case studies Case study Marine DC power supply. A case study of electric boats. Case study A high-tech hybrid boat powered by solar energy: Sobe Sunset 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 Energy recovery system for elevators in office building. Case study. Case study Solar powered elevators in a residential building: A case study. 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 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 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 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
