Cover Story: Power Converter Array, at the edge of power electronics Design Automation for Manufacturing. Designed from Conversion Standard Cells, this 1.6kW step up isolated bidirectional converter is made out several identical subsystems, assembled and interconnected in a generic way, to perform 36V battery charge/discharge from a 180V DC bus. Component dispersions are studied in order to evaluate their impacts on voltage, current and losses distributions over Conversion Standard Cells. Despite its apparent complexity, the converter is driven by a single control signal, its power densities and efficiency are respectively up to 2.3kW/L, 2.6kW/kg and 94%, control and cooling included. The converter prototype was designed and characterized at G2Elab and CMP, Grenoble, France and manufactured in partnership with MAATEL company, Moirans, France. View this paper.
