Status: Completed
Start Date: 2024-10-01
End Date: 2025-09-30
Description: Proposal aims to demonstrate an AC-AC convertor technology to enable power dense conversion from AC sources to AC loads; applicable to both Fission Surface Power systems and hybrid electric aircraft.
Benefits: Could enable of a next generation Universal Modular Interface Controller (UMIC) for connectivity to AC Sources on the lunar surface or efficient turbine to propeller power distribution on aircraft.
