This project is a groundbreaking initiative to revolutionize how we generate and consume energy. With PowerizeD, we aim to develop breakthrough technology for digitized and intelligent power electronics, to enable sustainable and resilient energy generation, transmission, and applications.
Key objectives of PowerizeD:
- Reduction of power loss in power conversion by 25 percent Extension of the service lives of devices and systems by 30 percent Reduction of chip size by at least 10 percent
- Shortening development times by a challenging 50 percent
Together, we can make a difference and pave the way for a more sustainable world. Join us on this exciting journey! Let's Powerize the world and inspire others to join the movement toward a greener future!
We invite you to read some of the latest Power Electronics news in the newest Power Electronics World Magazine issue 1, 2023. You will learn that WIDE bandgap power semiconductors devices play a significant role in many applications based on silicon carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) and are evolving fast. Still, power electronics are much more than new materials.And most importantly, Powerized is on page number 6!
On February 28th we have PowerizeD Use Case 5 kick-off meeting in Reutlingen. PowerizeD research project addresses aspects of power electronics from materials to systems across application five areas: semiconductor; traction; automotive; industry market; electric energy. Use Case 5 focuses on the automotive industry, specifically smart inverters. Together with our partners, we will work along the entire supply chain on novel digitized test strategies to bring beyond state-of-the-art simulation techniques, such as the compact digital twin, into industrial applications.
We are happy to announce that the PowerizeD project was presented at the Digital conference "Green ICT 2023 - Sustainable information and communication technologies" on March 7, 2023! Orgnazined by the Germany National authority- The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) that has launched the Green ICT/Green ICT research initiative and has undertaken numerous funding measures for innovative solutions in this field.
Our project coordinator Jochen Koszescha introduced Powerized in a discussion round block I, "Energy saving ICT and green software."
More than 200 participants attended the event!
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has launched the Green ICT research initiative and numerous funding measures for innovative solutions in this field.
The rapid spread of information and communication technologies (ICT) is both an opportunity and a challenge for sustainability.
On the one hand, smart digitalized solutions can often save resources. On the other hand, digital technology itself increasingly consumes resources.
A sustainable digital transformation requires the development of powerful but also energy and resource-saving information and communication technologies (ICT).
Only in this way can digitalization fully unfold its positive effects and, at the same time, maximize its contribution to sustainable development.
During the digital conference initiated by BMBF, "Green ICT - Sustainable Information and Communication Technologies."
Participants could learn about the new Green ICT Competence Centre of the Forschungsfabrik Mikroelektronik Deutschland (FMD).
As well as knowing more about current projects from research and development that presented themselves and their results, questions about political control mechanisms and social responsibility were also addressed and discussed.

CIPS 2026
In the next decades, power electronic system develop ment will be driven by energy saving systems, intelligent energy management, power quality, system miniaturisation and high reliability. Monolithic and hybrid system integration will comprise advanced device concepts including wide bandgap devices, new packaging technologies and the overall integration of actuators/drives (mechatronic integration).
CIPS is consequently focused on the following main aspects:
- Assembly and interconnect technology for power electronic devices and converters
- Integration of hybrid systems and mechatronic systems with high power density
- Systems‘ and components‘ operational behaviour, reliability and availability
Basic technologies for integrated power electronic systems as well as upcoming new important applications will be presented in interdisciplinary invited papers.
In 2026, the successful story of CIPS will continue as the conference‘s focus is today more important than ever – increasing functionality, energy efficiency and system reliability while decreasing cost.

IEEE-PEMC 2024 - Full paper submission deadline extended: 15 April 2024 - Reliable Power Electronic Systems
Power electronic interfaces are essential for regulating power flow between different voltage levels and frequencies. Several ac/dc and dc/dc converters have been developed for performing this flexible control functionality between various sources and loads. A deeper understanding on the reliability of such converter topologies is important because converter applications such as smart EV charging, wireless power transfer, grid ancillary services, battery energy management systems, e-mobility and intermittent renewable energy sources (wind, PV) can stress the internal power electronic components in very different ways. Thereby, lifetime estimation considering mission profiles with adequate redundancy, modularity an reconfigurability is relevant so that the designed power electronic components comply with the operation life requirements of the larger fault tolerant system. -
