Power Packet Dispatching System and Router for Bi-directional Dispatching

Power packet dispatching system is proposed as one of the advanced dc power distribution systems. In order to manage the flow of power packet in the distribution system according to the tag information attached to the power packet, the router, which dispatches the packets, a key element of the system. In this paper, a router is invented to dispatch the packets by-directionally. The laboratory prototype router applies SiC MOSFET for the power switches. The bi-directional router enables us to select the setting points to connect power sources and loads in the system more flexibly.
