February - 20206 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSPower electronics is permeating across all sectors where electrical energy is needed and is effectively integrating energy, control systems, and electronic devices. The recent advances in power electronics is enabling the rapid development of applications in power systems, including renewable energy generation, high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission, energy storage, electric vehicles, flexible AC transmission systems, and microgrids. Capable of saving energy and mitigating global warming-related challenges, the market for power electronics is poised for rapid growth.With the introduction of advanced technologies such as IoT, nanotechnology, and semiconductor devices, power electronics is believed to boost the economy and performance of most industries. Keen to offer power electronics solutions in multiple industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, medical, and many others, vendors are providing solutions with higher switching power and circuit efficiency.To remain profitable and grow in a globally competitive market, the power electronics companies are using silicon carbide and gallium arsenide based semiconductors. Owing to their capability to withstand high temperatures, strenuous load cycles, and high voltages, these new generation semiconductors are highly desirable in the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries. These semiconductors can be packaged close to power devices to minimize noise generation, excessive ringing, and power loss that heavily impair system performance. Finding their applications in UPS and solar inverters that involve magnetic output voltage filtering, SiC semiconductors can reduce the size of the filtering components. Operating at a much higher switching frequency, SiC semiconductors improve the efficiency of operations and are extremely reliable.Creating ripples across all the platforms, the latest sphere where power electronics has left its impact is the aerospace and defense industry. Using power electronics, companies can easily convert AC processes to DC and save operational time. The premium quality power devices effectively control pressure, motion, and power, and optimize survivability in extreme conditions. In a similar vein, we bring you the story of NJ-based Marotta Controls that has been able to efficiently convert AC to DC in a single conversion step.Considering the benefits different industries are reaping from power electronics, it would be safe to say that power electronics is primed to bring significant outcomes. It would be interesting to see how power electronics unravels its potential in the years to come."Powering" Every IndustryEditorialCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc. All rights reserved.
