Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC)

EPC was founded in November 2007 by three engineers, with a combined 60 years of experience in advanced power management technology. EPC's CEO Alex Lidow was the co-inventor of the silicon power MOSFET in the 1970s; and, in addition to holding positions in R&D and manufacturing, was the CEO of International Rectifier for 12 years. Over time it became clear to the founders of EPC that silicon had reached its performance limits, failing to propel innovation forward at the rate to which we had become accustomed.

In June 2009, EPC delivered the first commercial enhancement-mode GaN (eGaN®) transistors. These new devices were manufactured in a Taiwanese foundry designed to produce standard silicon integrated circuits creating a mature, efficient, and low cost supply chain, making its GaN transistors extraordinarily reliable and affordable. Today EPC offers more than 100 products that address a $13 Billion market.

Idaho National Laboratory is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's complex of national laboratories. The laboratory performs work in each of the strategic goal areas of DOE: energy, national security, science and environment. INL is the nation's leading center for nuclear energy research and development.

INL has established its Power & Energy Real-Time Laboratory (PERL), which uses Real-Time Digital Simulators (RTDS) to address power and energy challenges that will inevitably arise with the country's changing needs and the demands of renewable energy. The laboratory is designed to enhance our understanding of the different grid systems, their features, and their interactions. Research in this laboratory will help scientists and utility companies mitigate problems before they cascade throughout the systems.
