APRIL 20226MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSPower electronic devices are expected to play an ever more fundamental role in unlocking the potentialities of smart power systems and in developing more electric ground and air transportation systems. The reliability of power electronic devices at different hierarchical levels (single component, single device, installation and system) becomes a crucial point in this framework, as failures may determine technical, economical and safety issues that should be carefully addressed at the design and maintenance stages.With increased cloud computing, greater adoption of AI, and more utilization of Big Data, data communication levels have never been greater. Data centers require more and more power. Managing power conversion and on-demand power consumption remains essential to businesses to reduce the total cost of ownership. Unsurprisingly, digital power solutions will deliver greater efficiency and power density through ever increasing levels of integration and their ability to dynamically adjust settings and optimize efficiency under varying loads.For system designers, isolated DC/DC converters provide an option that can meet these high power density requirements without compromising on efficiency, features, or simplicity of design. Efficiency improvements are being pioneered for modules with increasingly small form factors.According to Independent Statistics & Analysis, the total US power consumption resulted in 0.85 pounds of CO2 emissions per kWh in 2020. With electricity and heat being the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions, it's crucial to reduce power consumption by making it more efficient, and GaN solutions can help with that. Moreover, energy storage systems that use GaN transistors lose 4 times less power, which makes them essential for residential and commercial renewable energy storage systems.With the demand for electronics skyrocketing in the past few years, all related industries have been feeling the supply shortage. However, in 2022, we may see the supply finally catching up with the demand. Energy is a crucial component of the modern economy influencing every aspect of our lives. New technologies will gradually change not only the technology but also the economic landscape.Let us know your thoughts.The Next Epoch of Power ElectronicsEDITORIALCopyright © 2022 ValleyMedia, Inc.
