GE Aerospace and Wolfspeed have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on accelerating the adoption of high-voltage silicon carbide across industrial, aerospace, and defense markets. The partnership aims to develop standards for silicon carbide-based power modules to support solid-state transformers, industrial electrification, and next-generation aerospace & defense (A&D) platforms while strengthening supply chain resilience. These higher-voltage power modules will enable systems with fewer series-connected devices and less complexity, resulting in solutions that are more compact, efficient, and reliable.

Strategic Collaboration

Under the MOU, the companies plan to jointly develop standards for high-voltage silicon carbide-based power modules. This initiative targets key applications including solid-state transformers, industrial electrification, and next-generation aerospace & defense platforms. The collaboration is designed to address the growing demand for advanced power solutions in these sectors.

Technical Advantages

The higher-voltage power modules developed through this partnership will offer significant technical benefits. By reducing the number of series-connected devices and overall system complexity, the modules will enable more compact, efficient, and reliable solutions. This advancement is expected to enhance performance across industrial and aerospace applications.

Supply Chain Resilience

A key objective of the collaboration is to strengthen supply chain resilience for high-voltage silicon carbide components. By working together, GE Aerospace and Wolfspeed aim to ensure a stable and reliable supply of critical power modules for their respective markets.
