 Right, so what's clear is that the Silicon Carbide Revolution isn't just about a material or a power device But a whole ecosystem and to look at that further. I'm joined by Michaela Lambella See having a good time. Yeah, great excellent. Okay. Where do you want to start sir? We've been focusing on on EV charges a huge and growing market, of course So how are they using ST silicon carbide modules in their design? Let me give you the example of Alpetronix. Alpetronix is the company that develops power electronics for automotive manufacturers and They design an hypercharger, which is a high power charging station for EVs We at ST have the chance to collaborate with passionate people in Alpetronix, really and I would say that The success story that we have with them is based on three main pillars first It's mandatory to have a clear understanding of their needs second together with Pro-module experts that we have inside ST to select the right device fitting The right feature The right mission profile the right performance and to support them during their design phase you know Chris using silicon carbide is Means dealing with higher power or higher Frequency and that's totally different from what engineer we're used to is IGBT. That's why it's mandatory to Support your customer and to accompany them during the whole phase of their project Science also to the lab capability that we have in ST We can go up to 500 kilowatts We are also able to support our customer in any application Based on real measurement and this is a clear differentiator and last but not least also we have ensured Strong operation and supply to our customer Thanks to the large investment which has been done by ST on webbong app device since early years Slightly nervous introducing a video about a passionate relationship. Yeah, you let's have a look at a film about Alpetronix So let's continue our fantastic sick journey here in Electronica 2022 Let me present you the first 50 kilowatt wall-mountable fast charger on the market Developed by Alpetronix an Italian company based in Bolzano in collaboration with ST micro electronics As you can see for a 50 kilowatt DC charger. It's a very compact Let's have a look on the key feature of this DC charging station First there are two charging plugs which can be compliant CCS to CCS one shadow mo and GBT 50 kilowatt charging on one vehicle or two times 25 kilowatt parallel charging possible Continuous 150 ham charging currents, and you can put it inside or in outdoor installation High efficiency up to 97 percent vehicle to grid ready. What does it means concretely your car battery? Will give back energy to the power grid at certain moment of the day or during the night This functionality can be used for example to absorb a peak in term of demand on the grid for that The AC DC converter inside the charging station need to be bidirectional But what are the main advantages of ST sick product for DC charging station like this one? faster time to charge the car higher efficiency and lower temperature At the sick can also run at higher frequency than IGBT the passive component size can also be reduced And therefore the total cost of ownership the famous TCO is also reduced So in a few words the main sick benefit are faster More efficient lower losses and lower cost at system level And here I would like to say that we at ST are very happy and excited To be collaborating with LP Tronic on this type of product We really appreciate the trust they have in us to help bring their solution to market And we are looking forward to continuing our strong support for both their development and commercial ramp ups So what can I say about sick at ST? Well, we are a worldwide leader in the technology We have developed and are continuing our development to propose to our customer Innovative both discrete and poor module with state of the art technology inside We have released our Gen3 technology recently giving to our customer a wider range of added value All our front end is done in-house and we are going to launch our own sick substrate factory in Sicilia Catania in 2023 Lot of investment and been done during the last year and ST will push you in the same direction for the coming years The market is expected to grow very fast on every side, but also on hold infrastructure linked with it This is charging station is one of them, but solar wind energy storage UPS motor control are also very promising As you can see a very exciting journey is coming thanks to sick This is a clear revolution inside the poor electronics world ST took the right strategic decision Will continue to play a leading role And will stay the innovative leader in this white man gap technology journey You can join us on ST.com slash sick Now we saw multiple ST modules in those EV charges, but if you were watching the show yesterday We were looking at smaller forms of transports. You know things like e-scooters So how is ST meeting that demand? It's a very good question. You know Chris poor modules from the building block of many poor system and ST is tearing its offering to new market and while consumer increasingly premiering for e-scooters e-bike Especially since pandemic ST is also working on smaller device that will better fit these applications And does it just stop there? Are we just looking at smaller and smaller forms of transport or is there a bigger picture? No, definitely not. We are also Observing new demand for silicon carbide in mode of transportation Which are even more demanding than EV such as a car or plane Do you imagine Chris E plane? We are talking about E plane and why silicon carbide? first transform solar inverter and EV ecosystem It is now entering into new domain that engineers did not expect and Let me tell you the following We are just at the beginning of the power electronic revolution and this revolution is enabled thanks to sick Chris It does beg the question. What is behind the seemingly unstoppable rise of silicon carbide? What's happened? The rise of silicon carbide is ongoing because we pass several milestone and now the material is ready First we are not going back to fossil fuels car. I have not know why Because the market is massively adopting EVs Second when you have a lot of car on the field you need to build the entire charging infrastructure And sick is the best candidate for that And let me tell you something else and it is a point that we did not touch together during this wonderful live broadcast There is a direct Silicon carbide is a direct answer to the sustainability challenges that we are facing That's a big and very bold claim to make go on and back it up companies Understand the need to reduce their carbon footprint and one effective way to do it is to use silicon carbide and To make more efficient for a system Let me give you a few figures If we could save one person the imagine one person is not a lot But if we could save one person of the total energy Conception electricity consumption at worldwide level Dedicated to in this rule. Do you know how many tons of CO2 we could save? You are too shy We could save 32 million tons of CO2. Can you imagine that once that made in real terms? It means We could save 15 new nuclear plant 15 Seriously, yeah, and can you imagine this amount of saving? especially during this context of global warming and Energy crisis and that's why also ST has decided to be carbon neutral by 2027 and While the number that I give you are I would say difficult to grasp the engineering reality is that sick Can enable energy efficiency gain greater than one person That's why it's not only company working in mode of transportation But sick also is Largely Adopted by other company and I remind you what I told you We are just at the beginning of the power electronics revolution and this revolution is enabled I am very excited by that Absolute joy talking to you enjoy the rest of electronics. Thank you Chris
