Invited Oral

The Center for Cryogenic High-Efficiency Electrical Technologies for Aircraft (CHEETA) project and Hyper Tech Research Inc. are developing demonstrations of a cryogenically cooled, low to medium voltage, high amperage, and lightweight aerospace power cable. The research presented here includes the motivation behind these demonstrations, challenges for these demonstrations, demonstration...

488. M3Or4N-03: [Invited] GaN HEMT and Air Core Magnetics based Power Converters Evaluations at Cryogenic Temperature

Prof. H. Alan Mantooth (University of Arkansas)

12/07/2023, 16:55

Invited Oral

Cryogenic power electronics is both advantageous and indispensable in many applications, like deep space probe, military electric vehicle, magnetic resonance imaging etc. Among different semiconductors, the gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) is the most promising candidate for cryogenic applications with significant conduction loss and switching loss reductions. In...

487. M3Or4N-04: [Invited] LTspice modeling for GaN-GIT HEMT including cryogenic temperature

Prof. H. Alan Mantooth (University of Arkansas)

12/07/2023, 17:25

Invited Oral

Highly efficient electrically driven avionics have led to a renewed interest in cryogenic propulsion systems with the goal of reducing carbon emission footprint. Although cryogenic converters promise better efficiency and improved power density, a successful design is incumbent upon the appropriate switching device selection and simulation-based analyses performed prior to initial prototyping....

574. M3Or4N-05: [Invited] Development and Impacts of a Superconducting Power Cable in a 110kV Distribution Network

Wescley Tiago Batista de Sousa (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

12/07/2023, 17:45

Invited Oral

A sub-transmission technology using 2G HTS wires with high engineering current density is developed in the SuperLink project. The goal of the project is to supply a versatile and easy-to-install 110 kV power-link adapted to the conditions in city areas such as Munich, Germany. The realization of power links of 500 MW over 10-20 km lengths requires high performance in the AC loss of the HTS...
