RENEWABLE ENERGY

Smaller Size • Higher Efficiency • Lower System Cost

Renewable energy continues to advance worldwide. In 2020, renewable energy provided nearly 30% of the global electricity supply. The cost of electricity from renewable energy sources has also fallen sharply over the last 10 years. Using GaN Systems’ power semiconductors results in power conversion that is more efficient and power systems with higher power density; a critical element towards moving to a 24/7 renewable energy world.

Energy Storage

An important element of renewable power implementation is energy storage, which provides on-demand power when the primary generating source is not available. By 2030, there will be a 300% increase in global grid connected energy storage. Storage technologies include: Li-ion Battery, Flow Battery, Flywheel, and Fuel Cells.

Inverters

Renewable energy systems requires both DC/DC and DC/AC converters. DC/DC converters adjust the solar input voltage to the DC-link or battery level. DC/AC converters (inverters) are required to deliver the solar energy to the public grid. The conversion from DC to AC power is achieved using Inverters. Using GaN transistors in renewable energy inverters improves power density, minimizes heat dissipation, and reduces the size of passive components.
