Infineon Applied sciences AG introduced that its CoolSiC 2000 V modules have been chosen by Daihen Company for his or her progressive unit-type energy conditioners for grid storage batteries. Within the journey in the direction of decreasing carbon emissions, each grid storage batteries and the facility conditioners which are linked to them play a significant function in facilitating the broader adoption of renewable power sources like photo voltaic and wind energy technology. There was an growing demand for greater voltage storage batteries and energy conditioners to boost the effectiveness of energy technology, storage, and transmission. Furthermore, with the enlargement of storage battery programs on a bigger scale, discovering appropriate places and minimizing building prices have emerged as vital challenges.
The unit-type energy conditioner for grid storage batteries launched by Daihen in March 2024 is the primary product within the trade to realize connection to storage batteries at a excessive DC hyperlink voltage of 1500 V. The upper voltage permits the product for use with large-capacity storage battery services, which has resulted in a 40 p.c discount within the footprint of grid storage batteries in comparison with the standard product.
The excessive energy density is achieved by utilizing Infineon’s 62 mm CoolSiC MOSFET 2000 V module (FF3MR20KM1H). Along with the traits of SiC that allow excessive voltage, higher thermal dissipation and excessive energy density, Infineon’s SiC merchandise function M1H trench expertise that will increase the gate drive voltage vary and gives excessive robustness and reliability towards gate voltage spikes. Infineon was the pioneer within the trade to introduce the 2000 V class for a SiC module. This innovation has been instrumental in simplifying the inverter circuit configuration. Moreover, the optimized 62 mm package deal has led to a considerable discount in system measurement, contributing to enhanced effectivity and efficiency.
Mr. Akihiro Ohori, Basic Supervisor, Growth Division, Power Administration System Division, Daihen, stated, “To be able to enhance the voltage of energy conditioners, the circuit configuration of typical 1200 V gadgets had turn into sophisticated. Nevertheless, by adopting Infineon’s 2000 V SiC modules, we had been in a position to obtain a simplified circuit configuration and management design, thereby decreasing growth assets and the footprint.”
Masanori Fujimori, Advertising and marketing Director of the Industrial & Infrastructure Section at Infineon Applied sciences Japan, stated, “We’re more than happy that our pioneering CoolSiC 2000 V module has contributed to the event of the trade’s highest energy density energy conditioners for grid storage batteries. We imagine that Infineon’s SiC expertise will handle the necessity for greater effectivity in power storage programs and can enormously contribute to the expansion of renewable power.”
