Sorry to interrupt!
Or should we say disrupt 70 years of traditional thinking in capacitor and inductor technology.
Patented technology
Nordic Passive has a new technology with proven radical performance improvement of cost, size, power loss/-density and lifetime used for renewable energy and e-mobility applications.
Our capacitor and inductor technology is based on the combination of a standard electronic circuit and a smart software control algorithm, which enables capacitance and inductance adjustment in a 1-20 times range, 50% cut of cost, size, or 2x lifetime compared to existing technologies mainly dependent on dielectric materials without the control function.
The Concept of an Active Capacitor
A two-terminal active capacitor implemented by power semiconductor contacts and passive elements. It has the same level of comfort as a passive with only two power terminals.
It is application independent and can be specified by rated voltage, ripple current, equivalent series resistance and operational frequency range.
The concept, control method, self-effect scheme and impedance characteristics of the active capacitor are presented. A case study of the proposed active capacitor for a capacitive DC-link application is discussed.
The results reveal a significantly lower total energy storage of passive elements and a reduced cost to meet a specific reliability target compared to a passive capacitor solution.
No matter if it’s an AC or DC application. This technology platform covers your imaginations and can be customised to every solution against your requirements.
