Custom Power Systems

Since spinning off from GE in 1994, Silicon Power has been active in the inherited technologies such as HVDC, Static Var Compensation and FACTS systems. The custom Power Systems developed included but not limited to pulsed power, crowbar switch, by pass, HV circuit breaker, and sub-cycle voltage regulator. Silicon power, a vertically integrated firm, merges the switching device information and state of art system studies to deliver the most valued system to surpass the end user specification.

Solid State Fault Limiter

Use of new device technology, such as SGTO, in power system distribution and generation opened up new unprecedented horizons in power system. These applications are included but not limited to fast fault current limiting, ride through fault, and virtual substations. Silicon Power is currently working on SSFCL (Solid State Current Limiter) and UBS (Urban Bus Switch) technology. High current rating and fast switching in these technologies are based on thin structure solid state switches.

Power Conversion Systems

Silicon Power has developed various power conversion systems ad/ac, ac/ac and dc/dc at different voltage and current level. The innovation has been the main drive. Our experience in design and development of custom power conversion system includes advanced DSP, high frequency modulation and application of novel switching devices. Silicon Power has spearheaded in the research and development of new switching device SGTO (Super Gate Turn Off thyristor) with superb switching and thermal characteristics.

Pulsed Power 400 kA, 0.2ms switch Level volume: 1 liter (~ 64 cu,in.)
