Feasibility assessment of a novel light-weight ultra-efficient Gallium Nitride (GaN) traction inverter for ultra-low emission vehicles

GSE有限公司开发了一种新型牵引逆变器技术GaNDrive，该技术基于氮化镓（GaN），结合了颠覆性的栅极驱动设计和超高效、轻量化的集成逆变器设计，并具有专利的热管理，无需第二个冷却回路。该技术已在实验室样机上得到验证，显示出具有吸引力的技术性能和经济性。该项目旨在通过设计、制造和测试一款用于超低排放电动汽车的10千瓦牵引逆变器，来证明GaNDrive技术的可行性和量化经济效益。

GSE Ltd have developed a novel traction inverter technology, GaNDrive, based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) incorporating a disruptive gate drive design and an ultra-efficient, light-weight, integrated inverter design with patented thermal management that eliminates the need for a second cooling loop. The technology is proven on laboratory prototypes, showing attractive technical performance and economics. This project aims to prove the feasibility and quantify the economics of GaNDrive technology through design, build and testing of a 10 kW traction inverter for ultra-low emission electric vehicles.
