New Delhi, Apr 21, (CXO Media): L&T Semiconductor Technologies has signed a master supply agreement with Newen Systems to jointly develop Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based power modules for renewable energy inverter applications.
Under the agreement, both companies will collaborate on the design, development, qualification and supply of SiC-based power modules aimed at renewable energy systems such as battery energy storage systems (BESS) and solar inverters. The companies said the modules will focus on improving power conversion efficiency and supporting high-performance renewable infrastructure.
The partnership also includes joint engineering work to develop next-generation power modules tailored for renewable applications. The companies plan to undertake testing and validation processes to ensure the modules meet operational and reliability standards required for deployment across different environmental conditions.
The agreement outlines plan to streamline manufacturing and distribution processes to support growing demand for renewable energy infrastructure. The move comes at a time when renewable energy installations, particularly solar projects, are driving demand for advanced power electronics components capable of handling higher switching frequencies and operating temperatures.
Officials associated with the power sector noted that technologies such as Silicon Carbide-based modules are gaining relevance due to their ability to improve efficiency and thermal performance compared to conventional silicon-based components. These features are considered important for grid integration, energy storage, and long-term operation of renewable systems.
The collaboration between L&T Semiconductor Technologies and Newen Systems is expected to support domestic capabilities in semiconductor design and power electronics manufacturing, while addressing the increasing need for specialised components used in renewable energy systems.
