What is a Bidirectional DC power supply?

A bidirectional DC power supply is a power supply unit that can both supply and absorb direct current (DC) power. While conventional power supplies only provide power, a bidirectional DC power supply can also recover power from the connected circuit or device. This capability allows for bidirectional power flow, enabling more efficient energy management.

For example, in applications like electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy systems, a bidirectional DC power supply can provide power to the vehicle’s battery and also recharge it. This enables efficient power transfer and improves battery utilization. Furthermore, since power supply and recovery occur in real time, it helps optimize overall energy efficiency within the system.
