Discussion Session: Identification Early Adopters and Transformative Approaches (Al Hefner)
- What are early adoption opportunities for SiC power devices in medium-voltage distribution grid applications?
- What transformative medium-voltage distribution grid paradigms might be enabled in the future by pervasive availability of low-cost HV-HF wide-bandgap semiconductors?
- What near term prototype demonstrations might enable more rapid market adoption of wide-bandgap power electronics in medium-voltage distribution grid applications and more rapid advancement toward new grid paradigms?
- What are specifications of wide-bandgap power semiconductor modules, passive components, and PCSs needed for these applications?
