New converters to adapt to renewable energy sources
Efforts to transition towards greener renewable energy sources to mitigate climate change have caused numerous disruptions to the unprepared electric grid. These efforts have also made it hard to adapt to these new energy sources and electric vehicle (EV) recharging infrastructure. DC charging infrastructure offers a possible solution for accommodating these new energy sources. However, it would demand the use of efficient, low cost and compact DC/DC converters for LV to MV, which are not currently available. The EU-funded FOR2ENSICS project proposes to develop these converters by utilising ultra-high voltage switching devices based on silicon carbide (SiC) and by developing and utilising low-cost, high-efficiency production processes.
