Residential Solar: Part 4 Of 4 Editorial Series Sponsored By Infineon; Sic Mosfets In Energy Storage System (Ess) Designs
Residential solar generation systems have experienced significant growth, with 510 GWh of renewable energy generated in 2023, with 75% coming from residential solar. Energy storage systems (ESS) are crucial in optimizing generated energy and mitigating operational risks in the renewable energy sector. Traditional systems rely on inverters to convert solar power to AC during daylight hours, but during nondaylight hours, end-users rely on the utility's electricity supply. To address this issue, behind-the-meter ESS is employed, storing excess energy during off-peak hours and discharging it during peak hours. This arrangement ensures renewable energy sources maintain consistent output, making them more viable and efficient for power generation. Silicon carbide (SiC) is essential in ESS, as it combines the original power generation path with a new power storage path. The DC-DC converter with storage capabilities is bidirectional, enabling efficient and flexible use of energy stored in the battery pack.
