In recent years, with the global push toward carbon neutrality, the new energy industry—particularly in areas such as photovoltaics, batteries, hydrogen electrolysis, and energy storage—has experienced explosive growth. This trend has brought higher technical demands for power supply equipment, with IGBT-based (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) controlled rectifiers emerging as a key component in critical applications.
Compared to traditional SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) rectifiers, IGBT rectifiers offer significant advantages such as high-frequency operation, ultra-low output ripple, rapid response, and precise control. These features make them particularly suitable for applications that require exceptional current stability and fast adjustment—common in the new energy landscape.
In the hydrogen energy sector, for example, water electrolysis systems demand “high current, high voltage, and stable continuous output.” IGBT rectifiers provide accurate constant-current control, preventing issues such as electrode overheating and declining electrolysis efficiency. Their excellent dynamic response also allows them to adapt to highly variable load conditions.
Similarly, in energy storage systems and battery charge-discharge testing equipment, IGBT rectifiers demonstrate outstanding bidirectional energy flow control. They can seamlessly switch between charging and discharging modes, greatly improving energy efficiency and system reliability.
According to industry reports, by 2030, the market share of IGBT rectifiers in the new energy sector is expected to more than double—especially in the mid-to-high voltage segments (such as 800V and above), where demand is growing rapidly.
Currently, numerous domestic and international power supply manufacturers are focusing on IGBT-related innovations. These efforts include optimizing driver circuits, enhancing module cooling performance, and developing more intelligent control systems to deliver power supplies that are more efficient, smarter, and more reliable.
As new energy technologies continue to evolve, IGBT rectifiers are not only a reflection of technical progress but are also set to play a vital role in the energy transition and the advancement of industrial intelligence.
