Balanced experienced for WBG-based technology integration and deployment
The next generation of high frequency and high voltage power conversion provides key benefits to commercial, industrial, and defense applications. This new generation of power systems requires a unique combination of knowledge, experience, and skills to successfully design and develop. The engineering team at SET group is highly skilled and capable of designing customized electrical and mechanical solutions to meet your high power, high voltage, high density, high frequency power needs.
High voltage and high frequency power converters can supply high power with higher efficiencies. The advantage of high frequency switching lies in reduced size and weight of the power converter’s reactive elements. Together with high voltage busses, techniques like Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) can further reduce conduction losses. High voltage WBG-based systems can go on to drive the next generation of electric propulsion systems for land, air, sea, and space platforms, and can also provide the foundation for low-loss power transmission systems.
Distribution of electrical power at elevated voltages requires precautions so power remains controlled and isolated to ensure reliability and safety. An advantage of operating at high voltages is that a given amount of power can be distributed using smaller and lighter transmission wires. However, this leads to more stringent requirements for fast feedback response to prevent catastrophic events produced by shorts or other transient events produced by a load. Similarly, high voltage designs require a higher degree of complexity in layout, interlock & clap-down circuitry, isolation, and even interface selection.
WBG power devices provide the capability of operating at higher voltages efficiently. Although higher voltages lead to more efficient power transmission, it brings new sets of challenges (i.e. corona discharge, isolation considerations) that may not be as straightforward as it may seem to tackle. SET group has gained experience over the years of developing high voltage power conversion solutions for various applications, and has been able to leverage the benefits of high voltage for modular designs.
