Importance of Power Electronics

 
Power electronics is a key technology with influence on the overall infrastructure of energy supply, the industrial area of motion control and drives, the industry automation and on the traffic technics. Furthermore, power electronics is a technology driver for the future intelligent systems with communication capabilities, and holds an enormeous energy saving potential in home & office.
 
 

Industry-driven European Center for Power Electronics

 
For this background, the industrial association ECPE founded in April 2003 has set itself the target of promoting power electronics in Europe and tapping the innovative potential in the application areas that are relevant to Europe. These include backing science research and innovative strength, as well as further training both inside and outside universities in all areas of power electronics, along with exchanges of ideas between research institutes, the components industry and users. The ECPE members include Europe´s leading companies in this area.
 
Apart from the registered association ECPE e.V., a limited company (GmbH) has been founded, which develops research roadmaps in cooperation with the involved industry and university partners, prioritises research topics and conducts research contracts with leading European Competence Centres - university institutes and research centers. The budget arises from a research fund, coming from the ECPE partner companies.
