Program Manager: Ms. Sharon Beermann-Curtin
To meet the DoD requirements of the future more electric military platforms, the Integrated High Energy Dense Capacitors (IHEDC) Program will incorporate innovative approaches and improved dielectric materials to producing high energy-dense capacitors for high power systems. Currently, the passives of high power systems make up 40−50 percent of the volume and weight and are unable to match the power electronics’ high temperature capabilities. This program will develop, build, and test high energy-dense capacitors (20J/cc), capable of operating at >200 °C. Additionally, the capacitors will be integrated with power electronics and sensors to provide smart diagnostics, and flexibility in capacitor banks of the future.
