One Power Electronics Architecture for All
Generating, storing, distributing, consuming, and managing energy from any source (e.g. solar cell, lithium-ion batteries, wind turbines, hydrogen cells, grid, data centre power systems etc.) is challenging. The multi-stage cascading system from source to load requires multiple systems of specially designed components to perform the necessary power transactions, leading to complexity, waste and unnecessary heat generation. Achieving optimal efficiency in all these power transactions requires complex electronics and algorithms, especially when regulating low voltage loads from high voltage sources, and when regulating high voltage loads from low voltage sources. This complexity extends to aggregating low power source and applying them to high power loads efficiently.
Daanaa’s novel Power Transaction Unit (PTU) technology is a single step, ultra high conversion ratio, high efficiency System on a Chip (SoC). It performs multiple power electronics functions and data transmission with one programmable module. Power systems are now simpler and easier to design, while performing at the highest efficiency, power density, and voltage conversion rate found in the industry. It optimizes Direct Current (DC), manages voltage conversion across various ranges, and efficiently converts to Alternating Current (AC). It is equipped with built-in data functionality, energy management, voltage and current sensing, temperature sensing, protection, and voltage normalization capabilities. For wireless power distribution applications, the PTU provides directional power transfers.
