2. Key power electronics applications
2.1 Context
Several applications are driving the development of the SiC sector as a whole. They are part of the drive to manage and control energy by reducing losses in energy conversion systems, electrical installations and distribution networks. We will present a few of these applications to illustrate the various possible outlets for SiC power components:
electric traction ;
power factor correction ;
high-temperature applications.
This list is by no means restrictive.
