Isolated 50 KW DC-DC Convertor- Blueberry 50


Introduction

Blueberry 50 is a precision-engineered, ultra-efficient, high-voltage DC-DC converter built around a Dual Active Bridge (DAB) core. It acts as the heart of modern Solid-State Transformer (SST) architecture, enabling compact, galvanically isolated, and highly modular power conversion for next-generation energy infrastructure.

With >99% peak efficiency enabled by SiC (Silicon Carbide) high-speed switches and optimized magnetic design, Blueberry 50 sets a new benchmark for compact, rugged, and high-density power delivery in harsh environments.

Design Philosophy

  • High Frequency = Smaller Size Operating at 50 kHz enables compact magnetics, reducing the system footprint and increasing dynamic response.
  • SiC Advantage Blueberry 50 uses SiC MOSFETs for ultra-fast switching, reduced losses, and high thermal headroom.
  • Modular Design for Scalability Multiple Blueberry 50 units can be paralleled to form MW-class DC output using digital current sharing and centralized coordination.
Where It Fits
  • As the DC-DC stage in modular SST systems
  • As a micro-inverter for BESS and EV chargers
  • As a DC link interface between high-voltage BESS and medium-voltage DC buses
  • As a building block for smart DC grids, ports, and rail electrification

Core Technology: Dual Active Bridge (DAB)
  • Bidirectional Power Flow Enables energy to flow from source to load and vice versa, ideal for BESS, V2G, and regenerative charging.
  • Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) Reduced switching losses, improved thermal stability, and lower EMI.
  • Soft Start & Load Balancing Smart load ramping and parallel sync across units allow seamless MW-class configuration.
Modular SST Integration

Each Blueberry 50 can function as a modular DC-DC stage within a solid-state transformer (SST), typically arranged as:

  • Stage 1: MV AC to plus 15KV DC
  • Stage 2: Blueberry 50-based DAB for isolation and DC voltage transformation
  • Stage 3: Final DC delivery to load/BESS/EV

This structure enables direct medium-voltage grid integration, removing bulky transformers and multi-stage converters.
