Demonstration of advanced Power Electronics for application in the energy sector
This Horizon Europe Innovation Action focuses on demonstrating advanced power electronics, specifically Wide Bandgap (WBG)-based semiconductors like Silicon Carbide (SiC), for applications in the energy sector. The program aims to significantly enhance the efficiency and reduce the size and cost of converter stations, facilitating improved grid distribution and the deployment of offshore energy infrastructure. Projects are expected to reach Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 5-6 by their conclusion, contributing to a more sustainable, secure, and competitive European energy supply.
