• DOE and TVA sponsor ORNL’s R&D– Research: find affordable solutions– Education: foster demand (www.zebralliance.com)• First project– Schaad builds 4 houses & leases them to ORNL for

30 months at $1 per month for R&D– Many “firsts”

• Full-sized houses with ZEHcore walls, foundation heat exchangers

• House with an insulating system that stores solar energy, shaving peak cooling loads by day and passively heating by night

• Houses with ground-source integrated heat pumps, a single unit in lieu of separate heating and cooling, water heater and dehumidifier

– Documentary of construction for “builder’s boot camp”

– Kick-starts DOE’s ‘Builders Challenge’ in the region

55 kW CSI Prototype

Objectives• Develop a 55 kW current

source inverter (CSI) prototype to:

Integrate boost converter and inverter functionality

Perform regeneration functions

Improve fault tolerance Substantially reduce

capacitor requirements

Current Source Inverter for HEVs and FCVs

High-Temperature, High-Voltage Fully Integrated Gate Driver CircuitObjectives• Develop a “universal” silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-based

high-temperature, high-voltage gate driver Function from -40°C to 200°C ambient without heat

sinks or cooling mechanisms (major cost savings)

StatusA highly integrated SOI chip has been designed, fabricated, and packaged for testing at ambient temperatures of 200ºC.

Status• A prototype of a 55 kW CSI was successfully built

and tested -Total capacitance required was reduced by

about 90% to 195 µF-A voltage boost ratio of up to 3.47 was achieved

• Design of a 55 kW CSI for operating with a 105°C coolant has been completed.
