GSE Ltd have developed a novel traction inverter technology, GaNDrive, based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) incorporating a disruptive gate drive design and an ultra-efficient, light-weight, integrated inverter design with patented thermal management that eliminates the need for a second cooling loop. The technology is proven on laboratory prototypes, showing attractive technical performance and economics. This project aims to prove the feasibility and quantify the economics of GaNDrive technology through design, build and testing of a 10 kW traction inverter for ultra-low emission electric vehicles.

GSE Ltd 开发了一种新型牵引逆变器技术 GaNDrive，该技术基于氮化镓 (GaN)，结合了颠覆性栅极驱动设计和超高效、轻量级集成逆变器设计，并具有获得专利的热管理功能，无需二次冷却环形。该技术已在实验室原型上得到验证，显示出有吸引力的技术性能和经济性。该项目旨在通过设计、构建和测试用于超低排放电动汽车的 10 kW 牵引逆变器来证明 GaNDrive 技术的可行性并量化其经济性。
