Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, based in Tokyo, is set to launch a free data-provision service on June 28, aimed at accelerating the development of power conversion systems (PCSs) utilizing its latest 8th-generation insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules. This initiative will provide design and validation data for three-level inverters, which are critical for renewable energy applications, particularly in solar power. The data will include experimental results from a collaboration with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan. By offering comprehensive information on its Industrial LV100-type and NX-type 1.2kV IGBT Modules, Mitsubishi Electric seeks to reduce the workload for users in parts selection, design, manufacturing, and validation processes. The increasing global demand for efficient power conversion in renewable energy sources necessitates advanced PCSs, especially for large-scale installations like mega-solar plants, where three-level inverter topologies are crucial for optimizing performance and compactness. However, the integration of power semiconductors into these systems presents challenges such as complex thermal management and time-consuming validation procedures.
