Our high voltage, non-insulating, bidirectional converters are mainly used for traction energy management in case of recuperation, voltage-boost, the management of different power sources (e.g., fuel cell and battery), and fast charging. The converter covers a power range up to about 1 Megawatt with efficiencies up to 99%. Combining the converter with drive inverters in terms of system integration is just as possible as an integration into the electrical energy storage. The type of cooling (air, water, or oil) is generally tailored to the specific application. A fully digital control and a CAN bus interface for the communication with a vehicle control unit is standard.
We make use of the latest Si, SiC, and GaN devices. Our multi-phase concept makes it possible to shift the fundamental frequency of the DC link ripple voltage in the MHz range, resulting in a considerable reduction of weight and volume of the passive components. We build complete systems for our industrial partners, including high power and bus connectors. Integrated in a sealed housing, these robust compact devices are used in R&D hybrid cars for evaluating the electric power train.
Efficiencies of up to 99% over a wide range of load can be realized via a load-adaptive management of the number of active phases. All converter components including EMI filters, the control electronics, and the fluid cooler are generally included in our power density figures. The high power density and low power to weight ratio of our DC/DC converters make them especially suitable for motor sports and aircraft applications.
You are welcome to ask for your custom design suiting your specific application.
