Eco-Design Approaches of Power Electronics | ECPE Hybrid Workshop

Power electronics is one of the key technologies for the energy transition. Energy supply from renewable resources, electrolyzers for hydrogen production, e-mobility, efficient variable speed drives, industrial process technologies, and small / lightweight power supplies are unthinkable without power electronics. However, this perspective considers only one part of a converter’s life cycle, i.e. the realised energy or CO2 emission savings during its useful life, but not the environmental burden (climate impact / CO2eq emissions, water usage, release of toxic substances, etc.) which are accrued during manufacturing nor the disposal at the converter’s end-of-life and the loss of raw and valuable raw materials. Considering the growth in global population and the extension of renewable energy usage and given a typical lifetime of 20 years for power converters, power electronics alone might account for an estimated 5TW worth of electronic waste per year. In this workshop we would like to discuss approaches, how this environmental burden can be lightened. We will discuss how the environmental impact of power converters can be investigated to learn about the status quo. Design for repair, reuse, and recycling, and necessary material and process developments are also part of the discussion. An insight into existing and upcoming regulations will be provided.

All presentations and discussions will be in English language.
