Solar Powered Bi-Directional Converter with a Two Wire Interface used in Microgrids

Mohitha Venkit S

Abstract: A microgrid is an independent electricity grid system which has a distribution generation with a power electronics converter, a controller and loads. A solar powered bidirectional converter is used here with a two wire interface. Two wires, SCL (clock) and SDA (data) is used for communicating between two or more ICs. It provides power and signal transfer channels with safe galvanic isolation. Complex power electronics circuits of converters can be made simple. Thus realization of smart nano, micro grid is more efficient.
