At IKERLAN, we are specialists in the customised development of power electronics converters. We focus especially on efficient energy conversion, applying innovative technologies such as silicon carbide or gallium nitride. In this way, we obtain solutions that are highly efficient, compact, lightweight, cognitive, robust and economically competitive.
We specialise in tailoring power electronics applications to optimise weight, volume, efficiency, cost, reliability and availability. We select topology and semiconductor technology, working from conventional silicon to wide bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride.
We provide converters with greater intelligence and connectivity, enabling both self-diagnosis and diagnosis of the environment in which they are installed. This allows us to make decisions based on externally generated and received data, and to improve the operation and maintenance of the overall system.
We also provide high reliability to power converters in applications where their correct performance is key, ensuring their integrity in the event of any anomaly. To do this, we carry out an exhaustive analysis of their failure modes and we study in depth the architecture of the converter and the system where it is installed.
Our pioneering and high-level facilities offer the essential tools to carry out tests and validations of different technologies and thus address challenges such as sustainability, energy efficiency and cybersecurity.
The challenge is to develop light, compact, reliable and highly efficient equipment that can be applied in sectors such as the railway, automotive or aeronautics.
