Power electronic technology

The cost premium for a motor equipped with speed control can be substantial, sometimes costing twice that of a single-speed motor. But the energy savings from speed control can be substantial, especially for fan and pump systems. Electronic adjustable speed drives continue to become more attractive because the costs of microelectronics and power electronics technologies continue to fall as performance and energy efficiency improve.

Variable-frequency drive technology is constantly improving in step with the advances in power electronic device technology and with the associated microprocessor controls. The following list of desirable fea tures is offered ... 

Portable electronic manufacturers had the foresight to realize that battery technology was not keeping up with innovation in electronic technology, and it probably never would. To satisfy consumer demand for smaller and more powerful electronic devices that could go a longer time between charges, improvements in the energy efficiency of the devices themselves were required. 

Modem instmmental analysis is an outgrowth of the technological advances made in physics and electronics since the middle of this century. Statistics have been with us somewhat longer, but were impractical until the advent of powerful electronic data processing equipment in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and even then remained bottled up in the central computer department. 

The critical technology development areas are advanced materials, manufacturing techniques, and other advancements that will lower costs, increase durability, and improve reliability and performance for all fuel cell systems and applications. These activities need to address not only core fuel cell stack issues but also balance of plant (BOP) subsystems such as fuel processors hydrogen production, delivery, and storage power electronics sensors and controls air handling equipment and heat exchangers. Research and development areas include ... 

By far the biggest application for SiC technology is the high-power electronics market. It may not be as glamorous as the high-frequency or the optoelectronic markets but it is big. The current size of the power-device market is 16 billion [65] and it is growing at a rate of almost 10% per year [66]. The question on everyone s mind is how big will the SiC share be ...
