Hybrids and EVs have a substantial requirement for power conversion; a drive train can be operated up to 100s of kW. A typical silicon-based converter will be no more than 95% efficient, Pi Innovo says, therefore having at least a 5% loss. kW BLDC (Brushless DC) motor driver incorporating six GaN Systems GS66508T transistors.

The project will develop a new device called the Galloping Hydrokinetic Energy Extraction Device that will convert fast-moving river currents into an oscillating motion that will drive a dielectric elastomer generator (DEG). The goal is to develop an optimal generator for current energy conversion. DOE Funding: $160,000.

CIRCUITS project teams will accelerate the development and deployment of a new class of efficient, lightweight, and reliable power converters, based on wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors. If successful, the team will construct a 500 kW building block for a DC fast charger that is at least four times the power density of todays installed units.
