Lecture Power Electronics Forum > Energy Storage
16:00-16:20 h | Virtual
With increasing interest in renewable energy from both businesses and consumers, the industry is faced with design challenges around critical energy storage systems (ESS.) Without storage, energy cannot be distributed on demand. The engineering design of today’s solutions must evolve to produce products that are simpler, more efficient, and smaller in size. The greater durability, reliability, and decrease in watts lost in conversion presents an opportunity to revolutionize this industry – and even have a transformative impact on the world. This session will go into detail about how Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors will play a central role in this revolution by enabling the creation of smaller, lighter, lower cost, and more efficient power systems that are free from the limitations imposed by yesterday’s silicon-based solutions. During this session, attendees will learn and understand:
- The details of how GaN technology is being used in renewable energy storage and other markets such as industrial aerospace, data centers, automotive and consumer electronics.
- The ROI of GaN technology - the maturity of the technology and the benefits that go beyond just the bill of material. This will be discussed through real life examples with data to support.
- The maturity of the GaN technology market at this point in time.
