European Space Agency in Search for the Ways to Improve Power Systems Using SiC Technology

Recently the European Space Agency (ESA) started its search for the technological advantage to improve their systems. Lead by research fellow Dr. Antxon Arrizabalaga , the project is aimed at studying the latest semiconductor technologies and exploring the impact they can have in the future of the space industry.?

During its research, Dr. Antxon Arrizabalaga is looking forward to answer the following questions:?

  • Which are the next system-level figures the space power industry wants to achieve?
  • Can the wide bandgap semiconductors help to achieve these figures?
  • Which semiconductor ratings are demanded by the space power industry for each application?

At the moment the research project lead by Dr. Arrizabalaga is focusing on the silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices, as they are better suited for the requirements of the high-power applications. The team has already had several meetings with the main European space power companies discussing the points of interest mentioned above.?

As a result, ESA received rich feedback with industry requirements and new ideas. And as anticipated, most of the companies are looking to the ways to increase power of their systems.?

Thus, the following applications were mentioned the most:?

  • Latching current limiters (LCL) for high power distribution?
  • High-voltage (HV), increasing the traditional bus voltage, and high-power (HP)?
  • DC-DC converters Rectification and synchronous rectification?
  • HP motor drives?
  • Very HV applications, around and over 1 kV
