An apparatus is provided that includes a heat pipe and a heat sink that includes a foam (e.g., a metal foam, a carbon foam, and/or a graphite foam) and is configured to exchange thermal energy with the heat pipe. For example, the heat pipe can include a thermal energy receiving portion and a thermal energy rejecting portion. The heat sink can be configured to receive thermal energy from a busbar and the thermal energy receiving portion can be configured to receive thermal energy from said heat sink. Alternatively, the thermal energy receiving portion can be configured to receive thermal energy from a busbar, and the heat sink can be configured to receive thermal energy from the thermal energy rejecting portion.
