Bidirectional, power-dense dc-dc converters are the ideal solution for the new and challenging use cases presented by machine electrification across numerous industries. This article explains how high-efficiency, fixed-ratio dc-dc converter modules are capable of supporting transient regenerative loads without the cost and complexity of liquid cooling.
Electrification, the societal movement away from fossil-fuel powered machines, is sweeping across all industrial, vehicle, and aerospace/defense equipment categories. The economic and cultural forces driving this movement are well known and generally undisputed. Electrification has both environmental benefits (lower associated carbon emissions, for example) and key performance benefits such as high-torque motors enabling high levels of acceleration in electric vehicles [1], [2].
