About this opportunity
This Request for Information (RFI) is being issued by the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) to gather public feedback on their draft Wide Bandgap Power Electronics Strategic Framework. The RFI seeks input on the overall roadmap structure and content, power electronics application areas, wide bandgap materials and devices, packaging and passive devices, techno-economic/lifecycle analyses, and education/workforce development. Responses must be submitted electronically by April 11, 2025 to AMMTOPowerElectronics@hq.doe.gov. While this RFI does not provide direct funding or guarantee a future funding opportunity, it will inform AMMTO's power electronics program direction and the potential development of a detailed industry roadmap.
The federal grant program associated with this RFI is the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) under the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. This program supports research, development, demonstration, and deployment of innovative energy efficiency, decarbonization, and sustainable technologies across multiple critical sectors. Award amounts under this program typically range from $900,000 to $19.7 million, supporting two to three-year projects focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy systems.
Synopsis
Power electronics (PE) are essential to the conversion and control of electrical power in U.S. critical infrastructure. As this infrastructure-including grid-integrated power, industrial manufacturing, transportation, and digital networking and communications-brings more innovative technologies online to meet changing market demands and improve energy security and resiliency, it also places significantly higher performance demands on PE technologies. Silicon (Si) PE have been relied on for decades to meet infrastructure's power conversion and control needs, but these intensifying performance requirements have surpassed what traditional Si PE can offer.
