Building on 30+ years of experience in high-reliability and high-precision electronics, Prodrive develops two SiC-based power conversion solutions for both efficient and scalable hydrogen production (electrolysis) and hydrogen consumption (fuel cells).
For hydrogen production, a 1MW rack, consisting of several 200kW modules is designed for a rectifier to be scalable to GW-scale while being significantly more efficient, compact, and reliable compared to contemporary thyristor and IGBT technology. The use of SiC-based power electronics also allows for a flexible output voltage (0 – 1500V), and an almost negligible disturbance on the grid provides unlimited and future-proof scalability.
The 25kW inverter provides the same scalability for fuel cell and battery connections while also providing both single- and three-phase grid formation. Both solutions are bi-directional and can be used as both a rectifier and an inverter for hydrogen applications. They can also be customised to fit every practical hydrogen scenario.
Prodrive is a developer and manufacturer of high-tech electrical, mechanical, and computing components for applications in demanding industries, including semiconductor, energy, and industrial. Prodrive Technologies' business model is based on a combination of its own R&D and in-house high-tech production facilities, with a total workforce of approximately 2,500 FTE, of which 600 in R&D. Reported turnover over in 2024 exceeded €500 million.
