AOI: High Power Energy Conversion

Innovation: 

A Direct Current Emulator (DCE) that can operate as a programmable DC power supply (source) and a DC load (sink) is of particular interest to many electrical system Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) applications, such as avionics, automotive, and space power. To meet the requirements of a DCE for these HIL applications, we are proposing the development of a modular and scalable high bandwidth bidirectional DCE that...
