Infineon Technologies provides power semiconductor devices to FOXESS. The goals of the two parties are to advance the growth of renewable energy.
To spur efficiency and power density of energy storage, FOXESS will be opting Infineon’s 1200 V CoolSiC MOSFETs. All variants in FOXESS’ H3PRO 15 kW–30 kW energy storage line employ 1200 V CoolSiC MOSFETs from Infineon.
These 1200 V CoolSiC MOSFETs will be utilized in industrial energy storage applications using EiceDRIVER gate drivers.
At the same time, Infineon’s IGBT7 H7 1200 V power semiconductor devices will be used in the FOXESS’ string PV inverters.
At present, FOXESS’ main industrial and commercial model, the R Series 75-110 kW, redefines the overall design of the 100 kW model by using IGBT7 H7 series discretes, and the efficiency of the whole machine can reach up to 98.6 percent.
PV-ES Market and Infineon’s Power Semiconductors Traction
In recent years, the photovoltaic energy storage systems (PV-ES) business has expanded rapidly worldwide. Enhancing power density has become essential for success as the rivalry in the PV-ES market heats up, and increasing interest has been shown in ways to increase efficiency and power density for energy storage applications. Power semiconductor devices from Infineon’s CoolSiC MOSFET 1200 V and IGBT7 H7 1200 V series utilize cutting-edge semiconductor technology and industrial application-specific design principles.
High power density CoolSiC MOSFETs 1200 V from Infineon:
- Cut losses by half and contribute about 2 percent of energy without requiring a larger battery.
- Particularly useful for high-efficiency, lightweight, and small energy storage systems.
- With exceptional performance and reliability, the H3PRO series has experienced significant sales development in the global market.
- The H3PRO series has achieved an efficiency of up to 98.1 percent and good EMC performance thanks to Infineon’s outstanding performance.
Infineon’s TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 H7 650 V / 1200 V Series Has:
- Lower losses and helps improve the overall efficiency and power density of inverters.
- In high-power inverter projects, high-current mold packaged discrete devices with current handling capability above 100 A can reduce the number of IGBTs in parallel and replace the IGBT module solution.
- Improves system reliability and reducing costs.
- The H7 series has become an industry benchmark for its high-quality performance and greater resistance to humidity.
- Low power loss and high power density of the IGBT7 H7 series in discrete packages, technical problems such as current sharing in the paralleling process can be simplified and optimized.
EiceDRIVER Gate Drivers in Power Devices
Every power device needs a driver, and the right driver can make the design a lot easier. Infineon offers more than 500 EiceDRIVER gate drivers with typical output currents of 0.1 A~18 A and comprehensive protection functions including fast short-circuit protection (DESAT), active Miller clamp, shoot-through protection, fault reporting, shutdown, and overcurrent protection, suitable for all power devices including CoolSiC and IGBTs.
