the research consultancy for energy technologies
Power MOSFETs are an energy transition technology, the building block behind inverters, DC-DC converters, EV drive trains, EV chargers and other renewables-battery interfaces. Hence this data-file is a screen of…
…The physics of power distribution and transformers are explained on pages 2-6. What is changing in the energy transition is that renewables and EV chargers are being added to the…

…EVs will have increasing total refrigerant demand, as there are in-built cooling systems for many fast-chargers. Using CO2 as a refrigerant could also be an interesting niche. It is clearly…
…the building blocks for solar inverters, wind converters, battery chargers and EV drive trains. We argue that their crucial role in new energies is analogous to the $100bn pa valve…
…up to 13% higher range than today’s inverters, especially for use in EV powertrains; but also in wind, solar, batteries and fast-chargers. It is based on SiC semiconductors. This Hillcrest…
…The number of industries that can demand shift is much larger than one might expect at first glance. They include electric arc furnaces, industrial gases, internet companies, EV chargers, greenhouse…
…and more metals-intensive electricity use, especially for electric vehicle chargers (page 7). There is upside for metals in energy transition power grids, but we think that the growth in power…
…might involve turning an electrical load down when renewables are not generating, and turning it back up when renewables are generating. Electric vehicle chargers can slow their current flow minute-by-minute,…
…quality is increasingly important, as electricity demand grows, placing greater reliance on the power grids, which also increasingly feature non-linear loads such as variable frequeny drives, LEDs, EV chargers, data-centers,…
