Research abstract
The objective of this effort is to develop and demonstrate an intelligent, autonomous dc-ac distribution unit based on isolated power conversion technologies to support interconnection of dc sources and energy storage devices with an ac tactical microgrid featuring tactical power generation and load equipment. The unit specifically targets 60 kW, bi-directional power conversion and power/energy management between 600 Vdc and 208 Vac three-phase power systems. PC Krause and Associates is proposing a dc-ac distribution unit based on state-of-the-art wide-bandgap semiconductor devices that allow minimization of size and weight and maximize power capability. The unit will support communication and control concepts as specified in the tactical microgrid standard while providing stand-alone and microgrid-embedded operating capability, with limited or no human interaction required beyond system setup.
