Project Overview

The Grid Supporting Inverter System Design and Implementation project aims to bridge the gap between research and commercialization in hybrid AC/DC grid technologies. This project focuses on the development and validation of modular, high-efficiency DC/DC and DC/AC power converters, along with advanced control strategies that enable seamless operation across diverse grid conditions.

Building on previous research, we will ensure these converters function cohesively in multi-port, multi-converter hybrid systems, addressing real-world challenges such as grid-connected, stand-alone, grid-forming, and fault conditions. A key objective is to obtain UL certification pre-compliance for hybrid AC/DC systems, an industry-first achievement that will significantly enhance the commercialization potential of our technology.

By validating hardware reliability, control robustness, and energy management strategies, this project will enable greater integration of renewable energy sources, battery storage, and electric vehicle systems into modern grids. The outcome will be a scalable, industry-ready solution that strengthens grid resilience and accelerates the transition to sustainable, high-efficiency energy systems.
