Energy Storage System

Scheme Description


Against the backdrop of rapid growth in photovoltaic‑based energy storage and residential energy storage systems, the power conversion system (PCS)—the core power‑electronics device that interfaces photovoltaic arrays, battery packs, and the grid or load—directly determines the overall performance of the energy storage system through its conversion efficiency, power density, and reliability. Depending on whether electrical isolation is provided, energy storage systems can be broadly categorized into non‑isolated and isolated topologies: non‑isolated designs offer a simpler architecture, controllable costs, and high efficiency, while isolated solutions employ high‑frequency transformers to achieve electrical isolation, delivering enhanced safety and making them well suited for applications with stringent insulation and safety‑regulation requirements. In both approaches, the core power‑conversion stage relies on high‑performance switching devices; thanks to their high‑voltage capability, high switching frequency, and low conduction losses, SiC MOSFETs have become the preferred choice for upgrading power‑device technology in energy storage systems.

I. Topology Diagram Analysis: Application Locations of SiC Devices

Option 1: Energy Storage System – Non-Isolated Configuration

Topological location Device Type Function Description
MPPT boost-stage switching transistor SiC MOSFET Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic systems steps up the low‑voltage DC output of the PV array to a high‑voltage DC bus, while the ultra‑fast switching speed and low on‑state losses of SiC MOSFETs significantly reduce losses in the boost stage.
Busbar switch/protection conduit SiC MOSFET Control of busbar switching and protection, suppression of surge currents
DC-AC inverter stage switching transistors (4 units) SiC MOSFET It constitutes a single-phase full-bridge inverter, converting high-voltage DC into AC output; the SiC MOSFET’s fast switching and excellent body diode characteristics ensure a clean output waveform.
Output filtering stage — LC filtering, smoothing the inverter’s output waveform
Typical applications:
PV PLANALS (MPPT) → Boost Stage (SiC MOSFET) → High-Voltage DC Bus → DC-AC Full-Bridge Inverter (SiC MOSFET ×4) → LC Filter → INVERTER Output

 

Option 2: Energy Storage System – Isolation Scheme

Topological location Device Type Function Description
MPPT boost-stage switching transistor SiC MOSFET Photovoltaic maximum power point tracking (MPPT) boosts the low-voltage DC output of the PV array to a high-voltage DC bus.
Busbar switch/protection conduit SiC MOSFET Control of busbar switching and protection, suppression of surge currents
Primary-side full-bridge inverter switching transistors (4 units) SiC MOSFET It constitutes the primary-side full-bridge inverter circuit, converting high-voltage DC into high-frequency AC to drive the primary side of the high-frequency transformer.
Secondary-side rectifier/inverter switching transistors (4 units) SiC MOSFET It constitutes a full-bridge rectifier/inverter circuit on the secondary side, converting the high-frequency AC from the transformer’s secondary winding into DC or directly outputting it as an inverter.
Output DC-AC inverter stage — The final-stage inverter outputs alternating current.
Typical applications:
PV PLANALS (MPPT) → Boost Stage (SiC MOSFET) → High-Voltage DC Bus → Primary-Side Full-Bridge Inverter (SiC MOSFET ×4) → High-Frequency Transformer → Secondary-Side Full-Bridge Rectification/Inversion (SiC MOSFET ×4) → Output Filtering → INVERTER Output

 

II. The Core Value of SiC Devices in Energy Storage Systems

Higher Efficiency: The SiC MOSFET’s extremely low on‑resistance and gate charge significantly reduce losses in the MPPT boost stage, the primary‑side inverter stage, and the secondary‑side rectifier stage, thereby boosting the overall conversion efficiency of the energy storage system (up to 98%+ ) and increasing power generation revenue.

Higher power density: Supports higher switching frequencies, effectively reducing the size of inductors, transformers, and filter capacitors, thereby enabling compact, lightweight designs for energy storage inverters and minimizing installation space requirements.

Lower EMI: The SiC MOSFET’s excellent body‑diode reverse‑recovery characteristics and fast switching speed reduce oscillations and voltage spikes during switching, resulting in improved system EMI performance and simplifying filter circuit design.

Higher Reliability: SiC materials can withstand higher junction operating temperatures (175°C+), delivering more stable performance in harsh conditions such as high temperature and high humidity found in energy storage systems, thereby extending equipment service life.

Improved system cost: High efficiency reduces thermal management requirements, while higher switching frequencies enable smaller magnetic components, collectively lowering both the bill of materials (BOM) and operational maintenance costs.
