Power inverters of the Sic-based variety are built with silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor components. In power electronics applications, Sic is a material that offers a number of benefits over conventional silicon (Si), including a greater breakdown voltage, a faster switching rate, and fewer switching losses.
Electric vehicles, solar, wind, and industrial motor drives are a few examples of the applications where SiC-based inverters are used. Compared to conventional Si-based inverters, they can operate at higher temperatures and with more efficiency, which reduces energy use and boosts system performance.
Sic-based inverters are more expensive and are yet more recent than Si-based inverters. Nonetheless, SiC-based inverters are anticipated to become more commonly used and more reasonably priced in the upcoming years due to continual improvements in SiC technology and production.
Global Sic-based inverter market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Marelli has created a brand-new, comprehensive platform of 800 V Silicon Carbide (Sic) inverters that guarantees advancements in terms of inverter size, weight, and efficiency—a crucial factor in electric car design.
Silicon Carbide is recognized as a technology of choice for power electronics due to its superior performance at high temperature and high voltage, enabling smaller, lighter, and more effective solutions, the business stated in a release.
It is therefore especially well suited for inverters, which transform DC (Direct Current) power from batteries into AC (Alternating Current) electric power utilized in electric car motors.
Due to creative structural and cooling channel designs that significantly lower the thermal resistance between the Sic components themselves and the cooling liquid, Marelli’s new 800 Volt inverter platform also has an optimized thermal structure. In high power applications, when the power module’s ability to reject heat is important, this is a key factor.
The new inverter platforms based on our 800 Volt Silicon Carbide power module technology allows to service applications where energy utilization is optimized, the performance is maximized and efficiency is greatly improved.
We are able to give our customers additional flexibility in terms of packaging, cooling system design, and energy storage thanks to a full spectrum of modular options.
