Sep., 2009: ApECOR started a project for a medium size company specialized in the design & manufacture of electronics for harsh environments. The goal is to develop a DC-DC converter for hybrid-electric vehicles as an alternator replacement. It will be able to convert 600V/700V to 12V with a power rating of 5kW.
March 1, 2009: ApECOR received Army Phase III contract - "High Power, High Voltage, Bidirectional DC-DC Converter"
Aug. 7, 2008: PE-iLab units sold to University of Central Florida and the National Technical University of Athens.
Jan., 2008: ApECOR completed the work for a medium size electronics company. This project consisted of a complete redesign of two existing analog controllers of a multi-stage power factor corrected front end power supply for server applications. The analog controllers were first converted to digital, where unique control techniques and dynamic parameter optimizations were added to increase the converters light load efficiency. This system was tested and shown to improve light load efficiency.
Nov. 30, 2007: ApECOR has been selected for Nasa Phase II SBIR - "Three-Port converter"
March, 2007: ApECOR completed work for a large industrial company. A complete converter system was delivered. A 12kW bi-directional DC to DC converter was designed for hybrid vehicle bus management applications. A layered control architecture was developed for a seamless vehicle integration via a CAN bus controller. All necessary control loops were designed and implemented digitally. The system was fully tested in all power levels and transients conditions.
Jan. 1, 2007: ApECOR has been selected for Nasa Phase I SBIR - "Three-Port converter"
May, 2006: ApECOR completed work for a medium size electronics company. This was a proof of concept redesign of an existing analog controller into a digital controller with a switching frequency of 100 kHz. The digital controller was designed, tested, and delivered, proving the capabilities of the digital controller.
