Reinventing Power Electronic Architectures for a Fully-Integrated Power Converter-on-a-Chip
As the world undergoes an unprecedented transformation towards de-carbonized energy generation and electrification of the transportation sector, there is an increasing need for efficient, compact and lightweight power electronics. However, miniaturization of contemporary energy conversion systems is hindered by the performance limitations of the power devices and the size and weight restrictions of the passive components. The ENRICH project proposes a fundamental reconsideration of the entire electric power conversion chain, by co-design novel multilevel converter topologies with new semiconductor structures, based on wide band gap materials, mainly Gallium Nitride (GaN). The envisioned…
