OCC Technology

One-Cycle Control, Inc.

One-Cycle Controllers

OCC is breakthrough technology that was invented at Caltech (1980’s) and developed in the Power Electronics Lab at University of CA, Irvine for ~17 years. OCC is a simple, powerful, and elegant solution for 3-phase power processing with excellent performance in harmonic suppression, unity power-factor operation, dynamic response, and zero-load stability; there are more than 100 publications in scholarly journals resulting from the UC Irvine research in 3-phase power processing, including variable frequency power conversion. OCC requires no Digital Signal Processor (DSP) nor software programming in the control loop, leading to reduced design steps, decreased component count, and improved dynamics, stability, and reliability.

One-Cycle Control, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in August 2004 with the primary objective to productize and commercialize One-Cycle Control technology.

In February 2005, OCC Inc. executed an exclusive license agreement with the University of California (and the California Institute of Technology) to commercialize OCC technology for all fields of use and markets where it can be commercialized. The intellectual property portfolio continues to grow.

In June 2006, OCC Inc. opened the doors of its first facility in Irvine, CA and hired initial employees to execute the first government and private contracts. In April 2008, OCC relocated to a larger facility to facilitate execution of an increasing number of contracts and the hiring of more employees. The 12 Mauchly site also facilitates larger-scale power converter development and commissioning due to increased power infrastructure.

During this time, the OCC technology and OCC team have attracted the attention of several government agencies including the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), and the California Energy Commission (CEC), to develop and demonstrate advanced power converters based on OCC technology. Private entities have also engaged under contract with OCC, Inc. to develop and deliver breakthrough power conversion for end-user markets in: utility/industrial scale power, alternative energy, and advanced transportation.

The OCC team is proud to be the chosen power electronics team for our customers; we deliver leading-edge power electronics capability and leverage our multi-disciplinary team to assess and recommend system-level simplification through a system-level approach to power.

OCC looks forward to working with your company to deliver exceptional benefits beyond power.
