Presentation Description: This presentation introduces a novel approach to the design and implementation of high-frequency planar transformers using nanocrystalline materials. Traditional planar transformers, commonly used in power electronic applications, have relied on ferrite or powdered iron cores due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with existing manufacturing processes. However, these materials exhibit limitations, especially at high frequencies above 250kHz, where core losses and thermal management become significant challenges.
The focus of this presentation is on the innovative use of nanocrystalline materials for planar transformers, which offers substantial improvements in performance over conventional designs. Nanocrystalline materials possess unique properties, such as high permeability, low coercivity, and excellent thermal conductivity, making them highly suitable for high-frequency applications. By reducing core losses and enhancing magnetic properties, these materials allow for the development of more efficient, compact, and reliable transformers.
We will present experimental findings that demonstrate the advantages of nanocrystalline planar transformers, including reduced size and weight, increased power density, and improved efficiency. These benefits are particularly relevant in applications like electric vehicle charging stations, telecommunications, and renewable energy systems, where high-frequency, high-efficiency power conversion is critical.
The rationale behind this presentation is to showcase the potential of nanocrystalline materials to revolutionize planar transformer design, addressing the growing demand for more compact and efficient power electronic components. Attendees will gain insights into the practical applications of this technology, as well as the broader implications for the future of power electronics.
By fostering a deeper understanding of the capabilities of nanocrystalline materials in transformer design, this presentation aims to encourage further research and development in this area, promoting innovation and enhancing the performance and reliability of power electronic systems.
