Wide Bandgap Semiconductors for Low Loss Power Conversion
Beschreibung
Wide bandgap semiconductors, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), are revolutionizing the field of power electronics by enabling highly efficient, low-loss power conversion systems. These advanced materials operate at higher voltages, frequencies and temperatures, offering significant advantages over traditional silicon-based technologies. As the global push towards green energy intensifies, wide bandgap semiconductors are emerging as a critical enabler for renewable energy systems, electric vehicles and smart grid infrastructure. This event, hosted by Semikron Danfoss in Flensburg and organized by the SmartPowerConversion Project, will explore the transformative potential of these cutting-edge materials in accelerating the green energy transition, addressing technical advancements, challenges and future opportunities.
Join us as we delve into how wide bandgap semiconductors can pave the way for a more sustainable and energy-efficient future.
The registration deadline is February 17, 2025!
