Imagine if the 'brain' and the 'muscle' of a power switch were merged into one tiny, smart chip. This project makes power converters smarter so they can monitor themselves in real-time and fix errors before they cause a crash. It also lets companies share secret performance data to improve designs without actually revealing their private blueprints.
Power electronics often suffer from high energy losses, bulky sizes, and short lifespans due to a lack of integration between the switch and its control system. Additionally, companies struggle to optimize these systems because sharing proprietary data for improvement is a security risk.
Integrated power electronic components combining control, driver, and switch functionality. They also developed a Federated Learning system for encrypted data sharing and physical-model-based digital twins for real-time monitoring.
If you are a farm operator dealing with frequent inverter failures and energy waste — this project developed intelligent power electronics that increase system lifetime by 30% and reduce power losses by 25%. This ensures more stable energy transmission and lower maintenance costs.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with bulky power modules and long development cycles — this project developed integrated driver circuits that reduce chip size by at least 10% and shorten design time by 50%. This allows for more compact vehicle designs and faster time-to-market.
If you are an equipment provider dealing with proprietary data silos and unpredictable hardware wear — this project developed Federated Learning and digital twins for real-time monitoring. This allows for a 30% increase in device lifetime through better predictive control.
The project aims to shorten the design time by 50%, which significantly reduces engineering man-hours and accelerates product launches.
Yes, the project involves a massive consortium of 63 partners, including 39 industry players, specifically to demonstrate applicability across multiple industrial domains.
The project uses Federated Learning, which provides a method for the encrypted transfer of confidential and proprietary data, ensuring IP remains protected during collaborative optimization.
The technology targets a chip size reduction of at least 10% through better mechanical and electrical integration of components.
Based on available project data, the project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31, suggesting results will be finalized by the end of 2025.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with a 62% industry ratio (39 companies, including 19 SMEs). Led by Infineon Technologies AG, the group spans 13 countries and covers the entire value chain from raw materials to 'systems of systems'. This high concentration of industrial partners suggests the project is focused on commercial viability rather than academic curiosity.
