Flexible. Modular. Digitally controlled.

Kolibrik’s DCDC-S Product Family delivers precise, reliable power conversion with a modular and robust architecture — designed to meet the demanding voltage and current control requirements of hydrogen applications, from lab benches to industrial installations.

Built for versatile deployment across DC power applications, including examples like fuel-cell stacks, electrolyzers, and other systems requiring modular, scalable conversion. Built for adaptability, these converters scale to match your power needs — from lab setups to industrial stacks.

Each unit uses 1 to 4 modules, with two voltage tiers (up to 60 V or 90 V), and a total of 14 configurations to choose from.

Detailed information

Product detailed description

Key Features

  • Scalability — DCDC-S Product Family delivers scale and performance exactly for your needs including dual output variants.
  • Switchable Output Control — Constant voltage and constant current modes, including current limitations.
  • Source Parallelization — Each source operates independently, enabling distributed power control in complex systems.
  • Digitally Controled — Real-time insights and remote configurability for your application.


Each DCDC-S unit is a smart power building block. Modules can be connected in parallel to deliver the total power your application requires — whether you're running a compact test setup or a high-power industrial system.

Smarter Power Conversion

For the last six variants, the modules offer flexible power distribution. They can operate as a combined single power source or split their output between two separate power supply branches, allowing for different power ratios tailored to your specific needs.

Need constant voltage? Prefer current control? With DCDC-S, you can do both — and switch between them dynamically.

And yes, it’s all digitally controllable and monitorable, giving you real-time insights and remote configurability for complex or distributed power architectures. That includes setups with system batteries, peak-shaving logic, or multiple hydrogen sources running in parallel with individual current contributions.

Adaptable Performance

The DCDC-S platform supports both constant voltage and constant current operation, including current limitation. This makes it ideal for systems with a battery buffer, where the converter can intelligently switch modes depending on the battery’s state of charge and real-time power demand.

The current control mode also enables smart parallelization of multiple power sources — each source can be activated independently and contribute a different current or power level. That gives you precise, distributed control across complex architectures.

Use Cases

From fuel-cell stacks to BoP and hybrid storage — precision power conversion across your hydrogen system.

  • Stack output regulation — Stabilizes variable output for downstream use
  • Balance of Plant (BoP) power supply — Powers pumps, valves, sensors and controls
  • Battery Peak-Shaving — Intelligent mode switching based on battery charge and real-time load — constant voltage or current as needed.
  • Multi-stack hydrogen power sources — Combines multiple stacks with individual control
  • Electrolyzer supplies with precise current control — Delivers accurate, limited current for efficiency
  • Pre-conditioning for inverters with incompatible inputs — Matches stack output to inverter input range

 

Example setup

H2FC stack (35–72 V) → DCDC-S (output 48 V) → inverter (48 VDC → 230 VAC)
