Energy Infrastructure applications like EV charging, energy storage, Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS), and solar are pushing system power levels to hundreds of kilowatts and even megawatts. These high-power applications employ half bridge, full bridge, and 3-phase topologies duty cycling up to six switches for inverters and BLDC. Depending on the power level and switching speeds, system designers look to various switch technologies, including silicon, IGBTs, and SiC, to best fit application requirements.
