EVs are gaining traction in the IGBTs and thyristors industry. Devices which serve as semi-conductors have an important part to play in electric power systems of EVs/HEVs, aiding efficient conversion of energy as well as motor control. All these semiconductors in different components used for electric or hybrid cars like traction inverters, onboard chargers and DC-DC converters convert the battery’s dc power into ac power to drive electric motors and act as a charge/discharge management tool. For instance, Renesas Electronics Corporation launched Silicon Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (Si-IGBTs) AE5-generation IGBTs used in EV inverters in August 2022. It allows manufacturers to reduce battery usage and improve their vehicles’ endurance because it has a 10% reduction in power losses.
IGBT and thyristors market report shows that smart grid infrastructure is being adopted to modernize and enhance efficiency of electric power systems, which is one of the most significant factors driving this market. These are crucial components in every smart grid infrastructure because they allow for voltage regulation, power conditioning as well as grid stabilization. To make their electrical grids smarter & more resilient, electric utilities and grid operators worldwide have started upgrading them through advanced semiconductor-based technologies that can meet the challenges of smart grid applications.
