Scalable, compact, highly reliable, efficient... these are some of the attributes passenger car manufactures require for e-drive system power electronics. Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology is the foundation for efficient power conversion but the specific features of SiC require an optimized module design with respect to electrical and thermal performance as well enhanced thermal cycling robustness. eMPack power modules based on Semikrons fully sintered direct pressed technology (DPD) is addressing these requirements.

As the power of renewable applications grows, there is an increasing demand for high(er) power modules and IPMs. SEMIKRON presents their latest product line-up for renewable energies and high power drives in this webinar at PCIM Digital Days 2021. This webinar includes the increased power rating of SEMITRANS 10, the new SEMITRANS 10+ and the latest SEMITRANS 20 product family with highest power density, ideal for paralleling and scaling. The high power SKiiP 4 IPMs will also be showcased with the new High Performance Cooler.

The grid is changing from large, centralized power plants with passive loads to smaller, decentralized renewables with more active loads. With this more intelligent grid, power electronics driving the grid require higher efficiency and power density in a reliable package. During this PCIM webinar, SEMIKRON displays the latest developments enabled by generation 7 IGBTs and Silicon Carbide chipsets. For drives and UPS, SEMIKRON’s Generation 7 IGBT portfolio offers efficiencyin industrial standard packages. In applications requiring increased power density and efficiency, such as energy storage and EV charging, the latest SiC portfolio is now available. For Solar, achieve low cost and efficient designs by combining SiC and the latest IGBTs.

EV Chargers require the smallest, most efficient converters at a competitive price point. Common knowledge says higher switching frequencies reduce filter size, but there are limitations to this principle. Switching devices, for instance, may become prohibitively expensive at extreme switching frequencies. With our new Silicon Carbide portfolio, SEMIKRON now has the tools to push these limits further. In this webinar, we compare power module selection with filter design. Additionally, we offer insights into our findings of converter development.

After establishing ourselves in the repower market, SEMIKRON is ready to tell you our secret: stack design. This webinar on March 23 at 16:00 CET explains how we increased wind turbine lifetime with a higher reliability replacement stack.

In the first section of this webinar, Martin Röblitz will guide you through the new features of SemiSel 5. He will also show which additional features are available especially for registered users and how they make SemiSel even better. In the second section, we will run a complete simulation together. In only five steps, we will get from the selection of the topology to the detailed analysis of the simulation results. Afterward, we will have plenty of time for your questions. With this knowledge, you will have the ability to select the power modules you need faster and with more confidence.

How to improve performance, cost and compactness of high power and wind converter applications? The webinar reveals recently made improvements of the field proven sintered SKiiP4 Intelligent Power Modules SKiiP4. Marco Honsberg will explain the contribution of the new High Performance Cooler technology and dedicated generator/grid side chipset tailoring to reach keen cost per performance targets.

With Solar + Storage becoming a growing trend, energy storage converters must consider the requirements of solar.

For AC-coupled systems, a bidirectional AC/DC converter is required. SEMIKRON offers a portfolio of power modules with topologies, which increase efficiency while both charging and discharging the batteries.

We will also discuss DC/DC topologies for DC-coupled systems, which can pair with 3-Level solar inverters. In order to meet 1500VDC designs, SEMIKRON now offers the latest 950V Generation 7 IGBTs with optimised designs for improved performance.

Lastly, we will discuss implementing Silicon Carbide in an intelligent way to improve efficiency and power density while keeping costs to a minimum.

Forklifts and industrial vehicles require reliable, compact power inverters. For the low voltage range (24V-144V), the SKAI 3 LV is the solution.

Rather than starting from scratch or using an inflexible inverter design, SEMIKRON offers a new solution with the SKAI 3 LV. You can now focus on the IP that matters most without getting stuck in the power hardware and packaging details.

Once the design is ready, this new approach then offers mass production through SEMIKRON’s proven manufacturing expertise.

Cost and efficiency are king in the world of renewable energy! Power up your investment, increase the voltage up to 1000VAC. This brings down the total cost of your wind energy system. 3-Level topologies enable this higher voltage, higher efficiency and greater power.

Our webinar shows an optimised solution for the Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) topology. The new SEMITRANS 10 MLI has an enhanced clamping diode for efficient bi-directional power flow. The new SEMITRANS 20 balances a simple design with the Active Neutral Point Clamped (ANPC) topology. The low inductance package offers increased reliability and easy paralleling. Both modules contain the latest IGBT generation M7.

For increased power at 690VAC, learn about the SKiiP4 with new High Performance Cooler. Upgrade your power stack without changing the converter design thanks to full compatibility to the previous SKiiP 4 design.
