The objective is to develop a novel HV SiC based MV Power Conditioning System used for enabling the Grid Dispatchable and Resilient Manufacturing Facilities. Manufacturing process draws multiple energy resources for end use. The Multi Megawatt MV Power Conditioning Systems (PCS) also have the potential to deliver the electricity and energy storage to the grid by utilizing the chemical, thermal and mechanical energy of manufacturing sectors. PCS MV converters will also provide resilience and flexibility to the manufacturing sector because of their capacity to control the power flow across grid-manufacturing process interface. Fig.1 represents the concept of PCS implementation between the grid and manufacturing process interface to enable the bi-directional power flow and control.
