This project will be a stepping-stone in the exploitation of a potentially disruptive Silicon Carbide (SiC) power-electronics converter technology for offshore wind applications through conducting a thorough market analysisand identifying potential partners and customers. Camtronics have developed a compact ultra-efficient low-costSiC converter technology, SiCtronic that can reduce the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) for offshore wind by 4.6to 9.8%. SiCtronic can operate at substantially higher voltages and switching frequencies, making wind turbineconverters exceptionally lighter and more compact and efficient. The technology can also find applications inphotovoltaics and electric vehicles (EVs).

该项目将通过进行彻底的市场分析并确定潜在的合作伙伴和客户，成为开发海上风电应用潜在颠覆性碳化硅（SiC）电力电子转换器技术的垫脚石。Camtronics开发了一种紧凑型超高效低成本SiC转换器技术SiCTronic，可将海上风电的平准化能源成本（LCOE）降低4.6%至9.8%。SiCtronic可以在更高的电压和开关频率下工作，使风力涡轮机转换器更加轻便，紧凑和高效。该技术还可以应用于光电和电动汽车（EV）。
