Project description
Next-generation silicon-based power electronics for decarbonisation in mobility, industry and grid
The EU-funded project Power2Power gathers 43 partners from eight countries to develop silicon-based power semiconductors with increased power density and energy efficiency. These technologies will push the performance of a large number of applications, with a focus on industry, mobility, grid and renewable energy. Together, they will make a major contribution towards reducing carbon-dioxide emissions despite the world’s ever-increasing energy needs. Power2Power partners along the value chain (wafer-, semiconductor-, package-, system- and application-manufacturers) will establish pan-European pilot lines with advanced industry 4.0 aspects to develop innovative power electronics that are fit for the future. Here, the focus is on silicon, which outcompetes upcoming new materials because of its high reliability and excellent performance-price ratio. Power2Power will strengthen the predominant position of silicon-based power semiconductors on the worldwide market in the next decade.
Objective
The objectives in Power2Power aim to foster a holistic, digitized pilot line approach by accelerating the transition of ideas to innovations in the Power Electronic Components and Systems domain. In the course of this project, the international leadership of the European industry in this segment will be strengthened by means of a digitized pilot line approach along the supply chain located entirely in Europe; working together with multiple organizations, combining different disciplines and knowledge areas in the heterogeneous power-ECS environment. Only these comprehensive efforts will allow reaching a high-volume production of smart power electronics to change the market towards energy-efficient applications to meet the carbon dioxide reduction goals of the European Union. Consequently, economic growth and Tackling grand societal challenges “Energy” and “Mobility” lead to safeguarding meaningful jobs for European citizens. Silicon-based power solutions will outperform new materials (SiC, GaN) for many more years in terms of cost-to-performance-ratio and reliability. Thus, the Silicon-based power solutions will keep innovating and growing the upcoming years. On a long run the project Power2Power will significantly impact the path to the industrial ambition of value creation by digitizing manufacturing and development in Europe. It fully supports this vision by addressing key topics of both pillars “Key Applications” and “Essential Capabilities”. By positioning Power2Power as innovation action, a clear focus on exploitation of the expected result is a primary goal. Smart energy utilization with highly efficient power semiconductor-based electronics is key in carefully utilizing the scarce resources. Energy generation, energy conversion and smart actors are these application domains where advanced high voltage power semiconductor components primarily impact the path toward winning innovations.
