Ambition Power: Design and Construction of Si- and SiC-Based Power Converters Demonstrators for Aircraft, Automotive, Industrial and Photovoltaic Applications

Integration of control and measurement functionalities inside the power modules is a strategic research field for both the new industrial and renewable energy systems applications, such as reliability in harsh environments and compact design is extremely important for the aircraft and automotive sectors. The project aims at developing and validating new high-efficiency power modules (with embedded control functionalities) based on new semiconductor devices characterized by high power density, working at high frequencies and at high temperatures. The contribution of the Politecnico di Bari research group regards the design and construction of power converters demonstrators for aircraft, automotive, industrial and photovoltaic applications.
