Abstract

Silicon Carbide Power Electronics. The Committee supports the Navy's investment to develop advanced power and energy technology to meet requirements for higher electric power loads through efficient means. The Committee understands that use of silicon carbide power modules may reduce the size and weight of power conversion modules and other electronic systems necessary for advanced sensors and weapon systems. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for silicon carbide power electronics research and encourages the Secretary of the Navy to continue to invest in advanced power and energy technology and accelerate the qualification of silicon carbide power modules to be used on high power, mission critical Navy platforms.
