Description

This reference design provides an overview into the implementation of a GaN-based single-phase string inverter with bidirectional power conversion system for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The design consists of two string inputs, each able to handle up to 10 photovoltaic (PV) panels in series and one energy storage system port that can handle battery stacks ranging from 50V to 500V. The nominal rated power from string inputs to the BESS is up to 10kW. The configurable DC-AC converter can support up to 4.6kW into a single-phase grid connection at 230V. Digital control of the three power stages is executed on a single C2000™ MCU.
