Our main skill is the design of advanced power electronics topologies and motor drive systems. We offer optimal design of power converter topologies for a variety of applications including renewable energy, industrial power systems, solid-state transformers, motor drives, battery chargers, automotive chargers, aerospace motor drives, and SMPS.

For power electronics, we use a wide variety of simulations and analysis tools including MATLAB™ and PLECS™, where we develop a detailed switching model incorporated with the actual control scheme that will be used in the digital controller. Such high-fidelity modeling allows for accurate tuning and debugging of the system before the detailed design phase starts. This allows our team to perform various trade studies to compare the performance of various approaches and present these options to the customer.

In terms of topologies, we have designed many multi-level systems, including inverters as well as converters. This allows us to trade off design complexity vs. the ability to use lower voltage devices in a much higher voltage application. We also have extensive expertise in resonant topologies to improve efficiencies, including in bidirectional applications.

In terms of devices used, we utilize wide bandgap devices such as Silicon-Carbide and Gallium-Nitride to reduce size and improve efficiency. We have extensive expertise in utilizing these types of devices from nuance in gate drivers design to EMI techniques to mitigate the high dV/dt.
