(DURIP-21) HIGH-VOLTAGE CHARACTERIZATION SYSTEM FOR RESEARCH ON NEXT GENERATION POWER ELECTRONICS
Abstract
The proposed research is designed to explore the next generation diamond-based power electronics. Diamond makes it possible to reduce energy losses, weight, volume, and life-cycle costs in a wide range of power applications. Harnessing these capabilities can fulfill advanced DoD needs in mobilization, secure grids, and reliable communication, lead to dramatic energy savings in industrial processing and consumer appliances, accelerate widespread use of electric vehicles and fuel cells, and help integrate renewable energy onto the electric grid. For instance, diamond materials have the potential to reduce transformer size by a factor of ten or more and cut transmission losses by 75 percent. The DURIP instrumentation is to research the disruptive diamond electronics technology which could significantly improve energy efficiency and rapidly transform the existing DOD capabilities in vital electronics domain.
