Description
This project will be a stepping-stone in the exploitation of a potentially disruptive Silicon Carbide (SiC) power-
electronics converter technology for offshore wind applications through conducting a thorough market analysis
and identifying potential partners and customers. Camtronics have developed a compact ultra-efficient low-cost
SiC converter technology, SiCtronic that can reduce the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) for offshore wind by 4.6
to 9.8%. SiCtronic can operate at substantially higher voltages and switching frequencies, making wind turbine
converters exceptionally lighter and more compact and efficient. The technology can also find applications in
photovoltaics and electric vehicles (EVs).
