When we speak of high voltage power electronics we primarily are of the devices or industries using devices that needs more than 1.7kV energy to function. A study conducted on the market of high voltage power electronics has shown a possibility of a boom in them in the near future. Leading companies have started showing interest in production of high voltage power electronics and have already started doing R&D to improve technologies. The total market value of high voltage power electronics now is $405 million. This is smaller than the present low voltage market, but the future may see a burst in the markets of high voltage.
High voltage power electronics includes power convertors using more than 1.7kV energy for their operation. Some of the common industries that use such high voltage powers are the electricity T&D, rail traction, wind turbine converters, ships and vessels, etc. These use the IGBTs, thyristors and diodes that make use of high power. The market drivers of these are primarily done in an energy saving concept. Read More…
