[Case Study] Promoting Coral Reef Growth with Renewable Energy and FPA Technology

Providing the functionality of an isolated DC-DC converter! A case where voltage regulation and voltage conversion were optimized.

CCell Renewables is a company whose mission is to prevent coastal erosion and preserve marine ecosystems by engaging in coral restoration and expansion projects. The coral reef cultivation system operated by the company electrolyzes seawater and deposits calcium carbonate (limestone) on a large steel frame that serves as an electrode, creating a foundation for new coral reefs. However, if the electrolysis processing speed is too slow, the limestone will not grow, and if it is too fast, it will result in a brittle composition. To address this, they utilize VIcor's Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) technology. This technology consists of a module for adjusting the fixed voltage conversion ratio (PRM) and a module for voltage conversion and insulation (VTM). By combining these two, it provides the functionality of an insulated DC-DC converter.
