The SmartPower Stack Consortium consists of global leaders in controllers, IGBTs, gate drives, capacitors, bus bar architectures and cooling solutions that have joined to create the industry’s first fully integrated, deployment-ready commercial embedded system for high-volume solar, photovoltaic, wind, hybrid electric and electric vehicles, as well as high capacity uninterruptible power supply and efficient motor drive applications.
As part of this effort, National Instruments supplies the controller, I/O, simulation and programming toolset, SBE provides new high performance wound film capacitors, Fuji supplies industry leading IGBTs, AgileSwitch offers leading edge IGBT gate drives and Methode offers state-of-the-art bus bar architectures, thermal management solutions, assembly and test capability.
Together, the five companies are creating fully integrated sub-system solutions for the power electronics industry with the highest performance for energy conversion inverters and convertor systems. This effort represents the industry’s first collaboration of best-in-class technologies that are tightly integrated to deliver smart, efficient, reliable and long lasting power conversion.
