The world is facing a dramatic increase in the need for electricity and needs to battle the ever-increasing carbon dioxide emissions. New, more efficient, wide bandgap power electronics devices are developed to enable the urgent plans towards net-zero loss in electricity production, distribution and consumption. These devices will be very important pieces in the worldwide puzzle to enable fossil free electricity production, distribution and consumption. This paper discusses the status of wide bandgap device technology in the perspective of maturity of the devices for roll-out and implementation for industrial commercial use.
