PowerUP Energy: The Future with Renewable Energies

EE Times Current · 8 Dec 2023 · 15m

What this episode covers

Simon Keeton, executive vice president and general manager of the power solutions group at onsemi, discusses the critical role of silicon carbide (SiC) and IGBT technologies in optimizing renewable energy harvesting and grid integration. He explains how onsemi’s end-to-end vertical integration—controlling bull growth, die development, and packaging—ensures supply, quality, and performance for high-voltage applications. Keeton highlights that tripling renewable capacity by 2030 is essential to meet net-zero goals, with SiC offering superior efficiency despite device-level cost premiums. The conversation also previews onsemi’s upcoming presentations at the PowerUP Energy Virtual Conference, focusing on next-generation Field Stop 7 and SiC MOS products.

    Enter the electric supercycle

    Andy Lubershane, head of research at Energy Impact Partners, explains the 'electric supercycle'—a series of interlocking technological flywheels involving solar PV, lithium-ion batteries, EVs, and wide-bandgap power electronics that are accelerating the clean energy transition. He argues that while AI-driven data center demand is creating a severe supply chain bottleneck and price surge, these early investments are scaling technologies like silicon carbide and microgrid controllers that feed back into grid infrastructure and robotics. Lubershane identifies physical transmission corridors as the primary rate limiter for meeting this surging demand, noting that societal resistance to new infrastructure remains the biggest hurdle.

    The rise of grid power electronics with Drew Baglino

    Drew Baglino, founder and CEO of Heron Power and former Tesla energy leader, explains how solid-state transformers (SSTs) use silicon carbide power electronics to replace aging, passive grid infrastructure. He details the severe transformer shortage driven by data center demand and regulatory uncertainty, and outlines how Heron’s SSTs simplify solar/battery interconnections and enable direct DC power distribution in data centers, removing 70% of traditional electrical equipment. Baglino argues that SSTs offer a pathway to grid affordability by increasing the utilization of existing wires through dynamic control.
