Increasing electricity generation with renewables and enabling the transportation sector’s electrification are urgently needed to decarbonise our society. Power Electronic Converters (PECs) perform electrical energy conversions by utilising Silicon power semiconductor devices. PECs also enable integration of renewables, energy storage for grid support and e-mobility loads with the decentralized electric grid. Replacing Silicon with Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors will advance PECs’ efficiency, thus lowering operating cost.
