In 1994, the Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB) program was initiated by ONR. The PEBB program was an integrated program of material, device, circuit, and system science and technology (S&T) development The program's core objective was to reduce the size, weight, and cost (SWaP-C) of power electronics (PE) to realize PE shipboard power systems enabling future affordable and powerful electric warships [1]. Since then much has been completed through PEBB advancement to include revealing science and technology (S&T) gaps, (i.e., the need for soft magnetic materials to realize even higher power density PEBB systems.) The past half century has seen the advancement of material development of WBG technologies through the concerted efforts of ONR and the other DOD agencies, and have most recently harvested the fruit of the material advances of SiC into applications that will benefit both the DOD and industry. The future is bright for SiC WBG PEBB based technology.
