Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a technical idea for efficiently using space of a power supply unit of a charging/discharging system by facilitating arrangement and design in a unit module. A modular high-precision charger/discharger sub-rack assembly structure includes: a base plate fixed in a state of being vertically erected to a sub-rack of a high precision charger/discharger; and at least one charger/discharger power supply unit or electrically or physically detachably attached to one surface of the base plate, configured to perform charging or discharging through bi-directional AC-DC conversion or bi-directional DC-DC conversion between a battery and a power source, including constituent circuits arranged in a first direction to have an elongated shape in the first direction and to perform charging or discharging, and arranged in parallel in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction on the base plate.

Claims (17)

1. A modular charging/discharging system comprising:

a base plate; and

a plurality of charger/discharger power supply units electrically or physically detachably attached to one surface of the base plate, configured to perform charging or discharging through bi-directional AC-DC conversion and bi-directional DC-DC conversion between a battery and a power source, including constituent circuits arranged in a first direction to have an elongated shape in the first direction and to perform charging or discharging, and arranged in parallel in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction on the base plate,

wherein the plurality of charger/discharger power supply units include a first charger/discharger power supply unit for AC to DC conversion and a second charger/discharger power supply unit for DC to DC conversion,

wherein the first charger/discharger power supply unit includes:

a connection to an AC grid;

a bi-directional AC-DC converter configured to perform bi-directional power conversion between the connection and a bi-directional DC-DC converter; and

a bi-directional DC-DC converter configured to charge or discharge the battery;

wherein the connection, the bi-directional AC-DC converter and the bi-directional DC-DC converter are arranged on a printed circuit board (PCB) channel to have an elongated shape sequentially arranged in series in the first direction,

wherein the second charger/discharger power supply unit includes:

a connection to a DC grid;

a first bi-directional DC-DC converter configured to convert an input having a high voltage transferred from the connection into a bi-directional form as a low voltage DC appropriate for a second bi-directional DC-DC converter and to provide the converted power; and

a second bi-directional DC-DC converter configured to charge or discharge the battery with the low voltage DC converted by the first bi-directional DC-DC converter;

wherein the connection, the first bi-directional AC-DC converter and the second bi-directional DC-DC converter are arranged on a PCB channel to have an elongated shape sequentially arranged in series in the first direction.

2. The modular charging/discharging system of claim 1 , wherein a controller is disposed on the other surface of the base plate.

3. The modular charging/discharging system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a partition disposed between different base plates.
