This Request for Information (RFI) seeks public input to guide the strategic framework for Wide Bandgap (WBG) Power Electronics (PE). This grant is for advancing power electronics crucial for the U.S. critical infrastructure, encompassing grid systems, industrial manufacturing, transportation, and digital communications. Traditional Silicon (Si) PE technologies are no longer sufficient to meet the escalating performance demands of modern infrastructure, which integrates innovative technologies to enhance energy security and resiliency. The objective is to gather insights on WBG PE, which offer superior capabilities beyond Si, to ensure robust and efficient power conversion and control. This feedback will help shape future strategies for these essential technologies.

| Description: | Power electronics (PE) are essential to the conversion and control of electrical power in U.S. critical infrastructure. As this infrastructure—including grid-integrated power, industrial manufacturing, transportation, and digital networking and communications—brings more innovative technologies online to meet changing market demands and improve energy security and resiliency, it also places significantly higher performance demands on PE technologies. Silicon (Si) PE have been relied on for decades to meet infrastructure’s power conversion and control needs, but these intensifying performance requirements have surpassed what traditional Si PE can offer. |
