Electric vehicles are gradually changing the automotive industries, shaping a more sustainable future. The research, development and integration of various technological aspects within the PowerizeD project, will result in new technological advancements. This requires a collaboration across various topics, including:
• Materials of devices and components
• Component or System reliability
• Modelling of devices/components/systems for different Energy sources
• Specific components Intelligence (Intelligent Gate Drivers for example)
• Artificial Intelligence of specific components design and power converters
• Sensing of different components/parts
• SW Tools development for system or System of system analysis, design and optimization
• Artificial Intelligence for system prognosis or smart diagnosis
• Federated AI learning
PowerizeD seeks to address various aspects of power electronics, ranging from materials to systems, while transcending application area boundaries.
The project aims to cover the following European domains, which are listed below:
• Semiconductor Industry
• Traction Industry
• Automotive Industry
• Industry Market
• Electric Energy Industry
PowerizeD was present to the audience of PCIM Europe-the leading international exhibition and conference for Power Electronics, Intelligent Motion, Renewable Energy, and Energy Management, the PCIM Europe is the global meeting point for the industry.
The project Coordinator, Jochen Koszescha, gave a brief presentation about the project, its goals, and mega trends addressed within the project at the international event for power electronics and its applications, where representatives from industry and science meet trends and developments that are presented to the public for the first time- such as ambitious PowerizeD!
You can find more information here, and you can also view the recording of the presentation if you have PCIM Europe digital access.
We are proud to share more details about our exciting project - PowerizeD!
The project’s team is working to develop innovative solutions for a greener and more sustainable future. Check out the video to see PowerizeD in action
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:
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!
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:
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.
EFECS 2025 is the premier European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems, dedicated to advancing the sector’s growth and innovation. Taking place in Malta on December 3-4, 2025, this event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to strengthen Europe’s strategic leadership in semiconductor technology.
