The UK will use silicon carbide technology to modernize
its power grid.
Anvil Semiconductors announced that it will participate in a £9.
5 million modernisation programme
for the UK's electrical infrastructure.
The project will innovate the way electricity is delivered to overcome the challenges of sustainability, security and affordability
.
The validation of the scheme, carried out on the Western Distribution Company's residential electricity grid, will use Anvil's silicon-on-silicon carbide power devices to increase UK grid capacity for residential and commercial demand
.
The team, which includes Western Power Distribution, Anvil Semiconductors, Turbine Power Systems, Aston University, does not include Ames and Schneider Electric, which designed and delivered the program
.
Solar panel installations will reach 10 million households in the UK by 2020, and electric vehicle sales will increase to 6.
4 million by 2023
.
As a result, existing power infrastructures with one-way power delivery designs will have to face new grid load patterns
.
The integrated distributed generation model increases power generation, but also brings new challenges
to voltage control and predict load and demand for electrical energy.
Distribution network operators are facing the challenges posed by modernizing existing infrastructure and are investing in smart technologies to cope with this shift
.
The goal of the experiment is to increase the grid capacity
of the existing residential power infrastructure by increasing the local network voltage.
This approach enables the grid to supply different voltages at the same time (e.
g.
charging an electric vehicle and simultaneously providing a constant voltage of 240 volts to residential buildings).
The plan will experiment with the installation of high-performance power electronic converters in meter boxes and substations to achieve a 400-volt distribution capacity
.
To achieve the required performance, efficiency, stability and cost continuity, these power electronic converters will use Anvil's innovative, low-cost silicon carbide switching devices
