The continuing efforts to decarbonize power generation include massive deployment of electric vehicles, PV plants and wind farms to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Battery storage and charging infrastructure are cornerstones of these efforts, with the annual demand of lithium-ion batteries expected to reach 800GWh/year by 2025. The next generation of large power electronics converters (AC/DC and DC/DC) are crucial to realize the rapid deployment of 1000V battery energy storage systems in renewable power plants, utility scale backup systems, and EV bulk charging stations. Key requirements include compact, lightweight, modular systems with remarkable intelligence. These features will allow easy transportation, deployment, parallel connection (very high power) of new 1000V battery charging systems while enabling optimal power flow and high efficiency operation. The objective of the collaboration between Dr. Ordonez at the University of British Columbia and Alpha Technologies (an EnerSys company), is to develop the next generation of power electronics conversion systems for battery energy storage with high efficiency, high power density, and wide output regulation. Alpha Technologies Ltd., one of the top high-tech employers in BC, is a leading company in powering solutions and EnerSys (parent company) is a global company with ~20% of the global battery storage market. This R&D project combines novel semiconductor devices (wide-bandgap), advanced passive components and heat management, novel topologies, and control methods to enhance regulation and efficiency, and system-level functions such as predictive maintenance to reduce the size, improve efficiency, and increase reliability of new 1000V charging systems. With the development and incorporation of these core technologies, the growing energy storage, renewable energy, electric vehicle, and telecommunications industries will access major technological advantages and accelerate their deployment. The project aligns with the government of Canada's initiatives to promote energy efficiency and clean energy technology.

继续努力实现发电脱碳，包括大规模部署电动汽车、光伏发电厂和风力发电场，以减少对化石燃料的依赖。电池存储和充电基础设施是这些努力的基石，预计到2025年，锂离子电池的年需求将达到800GWh/年。下一代大型电力电子转换器(AC/DC和DC/DC)对于实现1000V电池储能系统在可再生发电厂、公用事业规模的备份系统和电动汽车批量充电站中的快速部署至关重要。关键要求包括具有非凡智能的紧凑、轻便、模块化系统。这些功能将使新的1000V电池充电系统易于运输、部署、并行连接(非常高功率)，同时实现最佳功率流和高效率运行。 不列颠哥伦比亚大学的奥多尼兹博士与Alpha Technologies(EnerSys的一家公司)合作的目标是开发高效率、高功率密度和宽输出调节的用于电池能量存储的下一代电力电子转换系统。阿尔法技术有限公司是不列颠哥伦比亚省最顶尖的高科技雇主之一，是动力解决方案的领先公司，而EnerSys(母公司)是一家全球性公司，拥有全球电池存储市场约20%的份额。 该研发项目结合了新的半导体器件(宽带隙)、先进的无源元件和热管理、新的拓扑和控制方法以增强调节和效率，以及系统级功能(如预测性维护)以缩小新的1000V充电系统的尺寸、提高效率和增加可靠性。随着这些核心技术的开发和整合，不断增长的储能、可再生能源、电动汽车和电信行业将获得重大技术优势，并加快部署。该项目与加拿大政府促进能源效率和清洁能源技术的倡议相一致。
