Ultra-Fast Resonant DC Breaker – $500,000
Marquette University will develop a direct-current (DC) breaker combining the advantages of a vacuum interrupter with a wide-bandgap based resonant current source and novel actuator topology. The proposed solution represents a transformational state-of-the-art DC breaker scalable across voltage and current in medium voltage DC applications, such as power distribution, solar, wind, and electric vehicles.
