Navitas & Virtual Forest Join Hands to Advance Net-Zero in Agriculture
Navitas' GaN technology drives Virtual Forest's solar-powered irrigation pumps, ensuring food security and empowering Indian farmers struggling with long-distance electrical cables or costly, polluting diesel generators
Navitas的氮化鎵技術推動了Virtual Forest的太陽能灌溉泵，確保了糧食安全，併爲在長途電纜或昂貴、污染嚴重的柴油發電機上苦苦掙扎的印度農民賦能
INDIA – April 18th, 2024, Navitas Semiconductor, the only pure-play, next-generation power semiconductor company and industry leader in GaN power ICs and SiC technology, today announced that Virtual Forest one of India's leading electronics design companies specializing in motor control and human interface technologies for consumer appliances, fluid movement and mobility, has adopted its GaNFast power integrated circuits (IC) technology for a zero-emission, powerful 3 hp (2,250W) solar-powered irrigation pump.
For many farmers worldwide, irrigating remote crops requires powerful pumps to lift water from rivers and streams up to field-level, with the majority powered by polluting and noisy diesel generators or expensive, lossy long-distance electrical cables. The Virtual Forest solar pump with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operates in conjunction with solar panel and energy storage to provide robust, energy-independent and pollution-free performance at the point of use. The 3 hp (2,250W) pump is remotely accessed via quad-band IoT with low power consumption. It can raise over 50 gallons-per-minute of water to a height of over 90 feet, enough to water 3 acres of farmland, and help to produce 10 tonnes of wheat. Further, the IoT enabled solar pump ensures optimal water usage through intelligent analytics, therefore minimizing ground water utilization.
對於全球許多農民來說，灌溉偏遠農作物需要強大的水泵才能將河流中的水輸送到田間水平，其中大多數由污染性大、噪音大的柴油發電機或昂貴、有損的長途電纜提供動力。具有最大功率點跟蹤 (MPPT) 功能的虛擬森林太陽能泵與太陽能電池板和儲能系統配合使用，可在使用時提供堅固、能源獨立和無污染的性能。3 馬力（2,250W）泵可通過四頻段物聯網進行遠程訪問，功耗低。它可以將每分鐘超過50加侖的水籌集到90英尺以上的高度，足以澆水 3 英畝的農田，並幫助生產 10 噸小麥。 此外，支持物聯網的太陽能泵通過智能分析確保最佳用水量，從而最大限度地減少地下水利用率。
Navitas GaNSense half-bridge power ICs monolithically by integrating two GaN power FETs with GaN drivers, level-shifters, protection features and high-efficiency loss-less current sensing. High-efficiency NV6269 half-bridge ICs, in easy-to-use 8×10 mm QFN packages are used in a 3-phase motor inverter, with 3x-5x energy savings vs legacy silicon IGBTs.
納維塔斯 GaNsense 半橋 通過將兩個 GaN 功率 FET 與 GaN 驅動器、電平轉換器、保護功能和高效無損耗電流檢測相集成，單片爲 IC 供電。採用易於使用的 8×10 mm QFN 封裝的高效 NV6269 半橋 IC 用於三相電機逆變器，與傳統硅 IGBT 相比，節能 3 至 5 倍。
"The $450 million solar-pump market in India is expected to reach $1.5 Bn by 2026, calling for a solar revolution on Indian fields[1]," said Virtual Forest's CEO, Omer Basith, adding "Reliable, off-grid systems are critical to overcome food insecurity and achieve energy efficiency. Leveraging Navitas' high-power, efficient GaNSense half-bridge, we seek to deliver a robust solution to the market. We are nurturing our dream to drive gigatons of reduction in carbon emissions, thereby making the world a greener place to live in. Hence, our name — Virtual Forest."
“到2026年，印度4.5億美元的太陽能泵市場預計將達到15億美元，這要求印度油田發生太陽能革命[1]，” 虛擬森林首席執行官奧馬爾·巴西斯說，並補充說：“可靠的離網系統對於克服糧食不安全和實現能源效率至關重要。利用 Navitas 的高功率、高效的 GaNsense 半橋，我們尋求向市場提供強大的解決方案。我們正在培育我們的夢想，即推動數十億噸的碳減排，從而使世界成爲一個更綠色的生活場所。因此，我們的名字——虛擬森林。”
"The design team at Virtual Forest adopted the GaNSense half-bridges very quickly, for a fast time-to-market," said Alessandro Squeri, Navitas' Senior Sales Director. "With GaNSense, 'easy-to-use feature, Virtual Forest comes into the partnership with high efficiency, low component count and a robust design for tough environments."
Navitas高級銷售總監亞歷山德羅·斯奎裏說：“虛擬森林的設計團隊很快就採用了GaNsense半橋，從而縮短了上市時間。”“藉助易於使用的GanSense功能，Virtual Forest建立了合作關係，效率高，組件數量少，設計堅固，適用於惡劣環境。”
