New demands in electric vehicles have resulted in design changes for the power electronic components such as the capacitor to incur lower volume, higher operating temperatures, and dielectric properties (high dielectric permittivity and high electrical breakdown strengths).
A new, simpler power module and manifold design shows lower weight and volume, which allows higher power density compared with current state of the art.
Wind or hydro power are predominantly large-scale with giant generators to convert wind or water captured by turbines into electricity. But residential-sized wind turbines could generate power for a whole house.
There is a strong drive to improve the electrical performance of a power module for power electronics applications including transportation, buildings, renewables, and power delivery.
Buildings are energy intensive and contribute to carbon dioxide emissions while accounting for one-third of energy consumption worldwide. Heat pump technology can assist in electrification and decarbonization efforts.
Wireless charging systems need to operate at high frequency, at or near resonance, to maximize power transfer distance and efficiency. High voltages appear across the inductors and capacitors. The use of discrete components reduces efficiency, increases system complexity.
The widespread use of inexpensive salt hydrate-based phase change materials, or PCMs, has been prevented by a key technical challenge: phase separation, also known as incongruency, which results in the significant degradation of the materials' ability to store thermal energy o
