Reliability and Ruggedness of power electronics

Awarded: NOK 51,923

The existing cooperation between the Chemnitz University of Technology, NTNU Trondheim and SINTEF Energy Research should strengthen. Focus of this new project is the ruggedness and reliability of power electronics for renewable energy sources. The partner s will together perform measurements and tests to characterize reliability and ruggedness for this special application. Based on the results design rules for reliable and robust design of converters should be derived under the focused application conditio ns. The goals in detail are: - Performing of reliability tests - Extension and optimization of the Norwegian test equipment - Extension of available simulations model for the lifetime estimation - Evaluation of the power electronic under extreme electrica l conditions - Seminar about the reliability and ruggedness of power electronic - Exchange of Master students and Phd students between the institutes - Preparation of new project applications - Two collaborative publications per project year
