Patent attributes
A power converting device for a renewable energy storage system includes rechargeable batteries, bidirectional converters respectively connected in parallel to the batteries, direct current (DC) links connected in parallel to the bidirectional converters, respectively, bidirectional inverters connected in parallel to the DC links, respectively, and an electric power system connected to the bidirectional inverters. The bidirectional inverters are cascade H-bridge multi-level boost inverters. The DC links are charged by the bidirectional inverters connected to the battery and a charged voltage of the DC links is provided to the electric power system by the bidirectional inverters. In addition, the DC links are charged by the bidirectional inverters connected to the electric power system and a charged voltage of the DC links is provided to the battery by the bidirectional inverters.
