Energy storage device IGBT

What is an IGBT power module?

An IGBT power module functions as a switch and can be used to switch electrical power on and off extremely fast and with high energy efficiency (>99%) providing low electrical losses. The IGBT power module is becoming the preferred device for high power applications due to its ability to enhance switching, temperature, weight and cost performance.

What are MOSFET & IGBT modules?

MOSFET and IGBT modules enable power regulation or control in energy storage systems and inverters for solar and wind, ensuring high performance and reliability. High-power modules based on SiC operate at higher frequencies and temperatures, reducing energy losses when compared to silicon-based modules.

Are power electronics technology a viable alternative to IGBTs?

In recent years, the potential of power electronics technologies to for various applications, which exhibit lower power loss than IGBTs efficiently use energy and thereby help realize a sustainable society because of the injection enhancement (IE) effect (Figure 1). has been a focus of rising expectations.

What is an IGBT-inverter?

An IGBT-inverter is an inverter build with IGBT power modules to ensure high voltage/power switching functions. The IGBT power module is considered the ‘heart’ of the electrified drive train. Similar to a human heart distributing energy throughout our bodies, the power module functions as a human heart in the electric drive train for EV/HEVs.
