Exawatt provides analysis of technologies used for silicon carbide (SiC) based power electronics systems for electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications such as electrified transportation, power distribution, renewable energy (e.g. PV), industrial drives and uninterruptable power supplies (UPS)
We incorporate this analysis into our wider cost and market models to evaluate the value case of SiC and its market potential and impact.
We have developed detailed models for SiC device and material usage per system/vehicle, including the number of devices, device type and voltage/current requirements. Forecast models include future trends in device performance/technology and vehicle requirements. For example, we analyse the following trends:
- System architectures, e.g. two vs three-level converters
- EV system voltage (400V vs 800V)
- Device and module system integration
- Competing technologies to SiC such as gallium nitride (GaN)
