What is a bidirectional power supply?

A bidirectional power supply is a sophisticated device capable of both Sourcing power and sinking power from a load. Most loads achieve this by burning off the power in the form of heat. EA bidirectional power supplies are 96.5% regenerative and that power is put back into the local grid building itself.

Why is a bidirectional power supply better than a unidirectional?

The AC/DC conversion promotes better efficiency. Unlike traditional uni-directional power supplies that only send power in one direction — from the source to the load — a bidirectional power supply can reverse that flow.

Are bidirectional power supplies a game-changer?

In this landscape, bidirectional power supplies are real game-changers, merging traditional power delivery with energy recovery systems to drive innovation. A Bidirectional power supply is an all-in-one solution that combines an electronic load (a power sink) and a direct current (DC) power supply.

What are EA bidirectional DC power supplies?

EA bidirectional dc power supplies come standard with an arbitrary waveform function generator, swappable digital interface control and built-in test routines for battery test, photovoltaic simulation and MPP tracking, to name a few. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

How do researchers use bidirectional power supplies?

Researchers use bidirectional power supplies to design and configure renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, fuel cells, and wind turbines. These supplies manage the flow of energy to and from the grid. They can also simulate grid conditions, helping to develop and test inverters and controllers.

Are EA bidirectional power supplies regenerative?

EA bidirectional power supplies are 96.5% regenerative and that power is put back into the local grid building itself. To achieve this, these systems must be able to convert DC power back to alternating current (AC) power. The AC/DC conversion promotes better efficiency.
