The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to ABB Inc. to develop an early-stage, functional prototype inverter, with appropriate control and modulation schemes to validate performance and retire technology risks.
Proposed activities would include model development, modulation scheme development and verification, and design, fabrication, and in-lab testing of a full inverter. All activities would take place at ABB Inc.’s dedicated research and development facilities Raleigh, NC. The facility in which this lab work would occur was purpose-built for the type of activities being proposed; therefore, no new or modified permits, construction of new facilities or physical modifications to existing facilities would occur as a result of the proposed project.
