How many power blocks are in a string inverter?

As Figure 2-1 illustrates, there are two major power blocks in the string inverter. The first is a DC/DC power stage that converts the variable string output to a stable high-voltage DC link suitable for DC/AC inverter stage. For a single phase power stage, it is typically 400 V and for three phase, around 800 V.

Which bidirectional power conversion topology is used in battery storage systems?

The Active clamped current-fed bridge converter shown in Figure 4-6 is another bidirectional power conversion topology commonly used in low voltage (48 V and lower) battery storage systems. Some lower power systems use a push-pull power stage on the battery side instead of the full bridge.

What are the different types of isolated power stages?

The isolated power stages used can be PWM-controlled full-bridge topologies (hard-switched, phase-shifted, or dual active) or resonant topologies like LLC, CLLLC, and so forth. The trend is towards soft-switched topologies that can accept relatively wider input voltage range.
