TIDA-01606: TIDA-01606 AC to DC power flow

Part Number: TIDA-01606


Hi,

The article with the design describes power flow from the DC to AC side.

The title states it's a bidirectional design.

Is there any further information on using this to transfer power from AC to DC?  Extra hardware? Or just different software?

Kind regards

Dean

  • Hi Dean,

    yes, TIDA 01606 is capable of handling bidirectional power flow.

    In general, if you would like to run a T/Type converter with bidirectional power flow you will need to have AC and DC bidirectional sources.

    Lab Number 4 allows you to push power from the DC to the AC

    Lab Number 6 allows you to push power from the AC to the DC

    The power flow direction can be controlled by means of  TINV_idRef_pu  sign.

  • Thanks for the response, Riccardo.

    Got this under control now.

    Further, there's Plecs model provided online.

    Which would be the parameters that control simulating importing/exporting?

  • Hi Dean,

    if you mean the parameters of the system, these parameters can be found on the file .m inside the zip folder called: TIDA_01606_T_Type_DC_Bus_Voltage_Parameters.

    These parameters are including filtering and formulas for calculating the kp and ki in the control loops.

    Thanks

    Best Regards

  • Hi Riccardo,

    Yes, I was looking at those files. I had already imported the model into the standalone Plecs.

    As is, the simulation seems to be as an inverter - the current source on the left pushes the power and you get simulated sinewave at the AC side.

    Is there an option to simulate as a converter? Power from AC and to get voltage on the DC bus?

    In a nutshell, that was my question.

    Kind regards

    Dean
