【文章摘要】 GE Aviation recently received a contract for the research and development of silicon carbide (SiC)-based power electronics supporting the high-voltage, next-generation ground vehicle electrical power architecture for the U.S. Army. "GE continues to invest in electric power technologies and specifically in silicon carbide, which enables significant improvements in size, weight and power," said Vic Bonneau, president of Electrical Power Systems. "Our electric power team has successfully demonstrated various types of power conversion products that have led to high-temperature applications of silicon carbide technology. We're taking this to the next level to deliver prototypes that demonstrate these improved capabilities in the field." |
