SiC Solutions for Energy Storage

Trends such as renewable energy and e-mobility are driving the modernization of the grid. Intermittent demand increases can be met by energy storage systems. These systems store electricity in batteries and are ready to deliver extra power to the grid when it is needed.

Energy storage systems are now a critical part of the energy infrastructure. They can provide active and reactive power on demand. They are built on quality and reliability. Silicon carbide, along with SiC/Si hybrid and IGBT technologies, are enabling higher levels of power conversion efficiency.

As the smart grid emerges, batteries from EVs that have reached the end of their first lives are finding new leases of life in energy storage systems. At every stage, SiC is helping to maximize storage capacity.
