Ideal Power Releases B-TRAN(TM) and SymCool(TM) Videos and Application Notes

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2024 / Ideal Power Inc. ("Ideal Power," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") (NASDAQ:IPWR), pioneering the development and commercialization of the highly efficient and broadly patented B-TRAN™ bidirectional semiconductor power switch, today announced the release of B-TRAN™ and SymCool™ videos and application notes on the Company's website. These videos and application notes showcase the B-TRAN™ bidirectional power switch and multi-die SymCool™ power module.

"We are excited to share these videos and application notes for the technical audience at our prospective customers. They demonstrate the testing of discrete B-TRAN™ devices and SymCool™ power modules and the compelling advantages B-TRAN™ offers to solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) applications. The speed and ultra-low conduction losses make B-TRAN™ an enabling technology for SSCBs providing increased efficiency, safety, and reliability over conventional electromechanical breaker technologies," said Jeff Knapp, Vice President of Business Development of Ideal Power.

VIDEOS

B-TRAN™ Demonstration Video

This video is a comprehensive overview of the B-TRAN™ technology. Ideal Power's patented double-sided wafer fabrication process enables bidirectional operation in a single die with ultra-low conduction losses. B-TRAN™'s 5x lower conduction losses in bidirectional applications translate to more useful energy for the end-use application versus conventional technologies. The fast-switching performance of the B-TRAN™ device is similar to IGBT-based bidirectional switches.

B-TRAN™ in Solid-State Circuit Breaker Application Video

This video successfully demonstrates the operation of B-TRAN™ in a SSCB application. The video shows the large current breaking capability and fast response of B-TRAN™. The device offers a low on-state resistance of 6 mΩ. This not only increases the system's efficiency, but also allows for the reduction of the heatsink volume and the cost of OEM products. The device's quick reaction time enables safe operation in AC and DC breaker applications, resulting in an order of magnitude faster operation as compared to electromechanical breakers.

SymCool™ Demonstration Video

This video successfully demonstrates the operation of Ideal Power's SymCool™ power module in a high voltage, high current switching test. The demonstration shows switching at 800 volts and 200 amps, higher than the device's rated current of 160 amps. The device offers one of the industry's lowest on-state resistance. The switching performance is similar to IGBT-based bidirectional modules.

APPLICATION NOTES

B-TRAN™ Solid-State Circuit Breaker Application Note

This application note provides an overview of B-TRAN™ for use in SSCB applications and details of the B-TRAN™ driver design applicable to SSCB applications. Test results of a 400V/100A breaker operation using a single 50A B-TRAN™ device are shown in the application note.

B-TRAN™ Driver Application Note

This B-TRAN™ driver application note provides an overview of the B-TRAN™ driver. More specifically, this application note will assist engineers in evaluating the performance and benefits of B-TRAN™ in their applications. The guidance in this application note is expected to ease, and potentially accelerate, adoption of B-TRAN™ in various power applications ranging from solid-state circuit breakers to inverters used in renewable energy and EV applications.

B-TRAN™ SERVICEABLE ADDRESSABLE MARKET

The B-TRAN™ serviceable addressable market (SAM) is predicted to more than double over the next five years. With a projected 16% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), the total SAM for B-TRAN™ is forecasted to grow from $3.6 billion in 2023 to $7.6 billion in 2028 driven by the macrotrends of electric vehicles, renewable energy and electrification. For the solid-state switchgear market, including SSCBs, the B-TRAN™ SAM is forecasted to grow to $1.0 billion during that same period. Ideal Power's SAM and 2024 milestones are in Ideal Power's recently updated presentation on the Company's investor relations website HERE.
