ORNL team uses 3D printing and WBG semiconductors to make smaller, more powerful inverter (update w/ metrics)

Green Car Congress

Power inverters convert direct current into the alternating current that powers the vehicle. Additive manufacturing helped researchers explore complex geometries, increase power densities, and reduce weight and waste while building ORNL’s 30 kW prototype inverter. The prototype stems from a two-year $1.45-million DOE 2020 target.
