4 FAQs about Bidirectional charging of outdoor telecom cabinets for bridges

What is a bidirectional LLC converter?

The topology of bidirectional LLC converters replaces the secondary rectifier network used in traditional LLC converters with a full-bridge network.

What is a bidirectional DC/DC converter?

Bidirectional DC/DC converters enable charging of the battery in the forward mode of operation and facilitate flow of power back to the grid from the battery during reverse mode of operation, which can be used to stabilize the grid during peak load periods.

Do low-voltage battery pack systems require bidirectional isolation DC/DC?

For safety, low-voltage battery pack systems (40V to 60V) require bidirectional isolation DC/DC due to the high bus voltage (360V to 550V). This article generally analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of different isolated bidirectional DC/DC topologies. Figure 1. DC-Coupled Energy Storage System

What is a bidirectional LLC resonant converter?

In the forward operation, the full-bridge network of the secondary side is used for synchronous rectification, meaning the bidirectional LLC resonant converter can realize both the ZVS of the primary side and the zero current switching (ZCS) of the secondary side under a certain gain range.
