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

GSE Ltd开发了一种基于氮化镓（GaN）的新型牵引逆变器技术GaNDrive，该技术结合了颠覆性的栅极驱动设计和超高效、重量轻的集成逆变器设计，该设计具有专利热管理，无需第二个冷却回路。该技术已在实验室原型上得到验证，显示出诱人的技术性能和经济性。该项目旨在通过设计、建造和测试用于超低排放电动汽车的10 kW牵引逆变器来证明GaNDrive技术的可行性并量化其经济性。

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.
