Design Considerations for a Bidirectional DC/DC Converter

July 24, 2020 By

With the wide use of energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors, the current trend is to simplify battery charge and discharge management. A bidirectional DC/DC converter can accomplish this to maintain a healthy battery and extend battery runtime. The bidirectional converter uses one powertrain to implement the charge and discharge operation. This paper describes how Renesas Electronics has integrated bidirectional control into its latest controller, the ISL81601, enabling easy implementation of on-the-fly reverse-direction power flow and control.

Parker Energy HAS Hybrid Actuation System for Solar Tracking Applications

June 29, 2016 By

Parker width= Actuation systems must be efficient, precise, and durable enough to withstand harsh power-generation environments. Parker Hannifin Corporation has developed a hybrid actuation system (HAS) that is ideal for renewable-energy actuation applications, such as those used with solar panels, wind turbines, and hydro-electric dams.

The new hybrid design combines the controllability of traditional electromechanical actuators with
the power density, longer life, and resistive-force capabilities of traditional hydraulic systems. The result is an improved actuation system for single and dual axis tracking and other renewable energy systems, with a wider range of capabilities.

Wind Energy Hydraulic Cart

June 29, 2016 By

Parker Wind Energy Hydraulic carts are the ideal way to prefilter and transfer fluids, on the ground or in the air.

Fluid should always be filtered prior to use. New fluid is not necessarily clean fluid. Most new fluids (directly from the container) are unfit for use, due to high initial contamination levels. Contamination, both particulate and water, may be introduced to a new fluid during processing, mixing, handling and storage.

1.) Parker has designed Filter carts specifically for the wind market. Our New Hydraulic Oil Cart was designed to fit into
a 24″ X 24″ Wind Turbine Hatch
2.) Dual Filter Vessel design offers a fast (10) GPM flow rate for quick oil purification up tower
3.) Integrated state-of-the-art Particle Counter (ISO code)
4.) Built-in 250 pound rated lifting eye
