Main Tasks
- Provide a roadmap for PTPE
This task mainly addresses the technology challenges faced, especially those related to insulating material problems, followed by discussions and plans to solve them in subsequent tasks. - Requirements for materials and insulation systems
Will include a detailed mapping and identification of stresses that may occur on materials inside a converter. - Feasible material candidates and material combinations
This will be the most comprehensive task involving fundamental as well as applied material research on the performance of the materials. - Alternative packaging options for components and circuits
This is another main task involving studies on possibilities and problems with alternative packaging options for components and circuits. - Realize PTPE component test objects and testing
Addresses the need to provide test objects for investigating proposed solutions in task 4 and for providing components for live testing in task 6. - Build, test and verify feasible solutions by experiments on complete power circuits
Addresses the need to establish representative PTPE test-circuits that can demonstrate the applicability of PTPE solution proposed in task 5. - Provide test and qualification methods
Aims to provide support for preparing test and qualification methods for commercial PTPE products. - Post Doc on investigations of insulating materials
For two years in collaboration with NTNU – Topics from task 3
