Fuji Electric Debuts New IGBT Modules for Enhanced Power Conversion in Renewable Energy Systems
Fuji Electric Unveils HPnC Series IGBT Modules for Enhanced Renewable Energy Generation
BonChip Electronics, a leading distributor of innovative power electronics solutions, is excited to announce the availability of Fuji Electric's (FE) groundbreaking HPnC Series IGBT modules. This new series of large-capacity industrial IGBT modules empowers manufacturers to design more efficient and cost-effective power converters for solar and wind power generation systems, accelerating the transition towards a decarbonized society.
Addressing the Demand for Clean Energy and Cost Reduction
The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power is crucial for achieving a sustainable future. However, reducing the cost of generating renewable energy remains a critical challenge. IGBT modules, which play a vital role in power converters like inverters and power conditioning systems (PCSs), are responsible for switching electricity on and off, thereby controlling frequencies and voltages.
Optimizing Power Converter Performance for Renewable Energy Applications
Fuji Electric's HPnC Series is designed to address the specific needs of the renewable energy sector. These large-capacity IGBT modules offer significant advantages over previous generations:
Enhanced Power Converter Capacity and Reduced Footprint: Featuring the latest IGBT chip technology, optimized internal terminal and chip layouts, and advanced heat dissipation materials, the HPnC Series achieves an industry-leading rated current of 1800 A – an impressive 80% increase compared to FE's prior offerings. This remarkable improvement allows for a significant reduction in the number of power converters needed, while maintaining the same physical footprint. In solar power generation systems, this translates to a greater area available for solar panel installation, maximizing energy output.
Reduced Power Generation Costs: The HPnC Series also introduces 2300 V breakdown voltage models, specifically designed for 1500 VDC power converters. Traditionally, such converters required connecting two IGBT modules with lower voltage ratings (1200 V or 1700 V) in series. By optimizing the breakdown voltage structure of the IGBT and FWD chips, FE's 2300 V modules eliminate the need for this configuration. This translates to a smaller power converter footprint due to fewer required modules and peripheral components, ultimately contributing to lower power generation costs.
