According to foreign media reports, representatives from 62 European regional cooperation agencies recently announced at Infineon's headquarters the launch of PowerizeD, a pan-European R&D special project that aims to raise the sustainability and resilience of the European energy chain from generation to application to a new level and strengthen Europe's technological sovereignty through electronic and electronic technology innovation.

The project will focus on 17 demonstration application scenarios in the energy and mobility sector, including electrified railroads, car charging systems, liquid batteries and more, the report said. Partners will use an interdisciplinary approach with topics including modeling and digital twins, federal learning, and reliability and sustainability. Immediate project goals include: reducing losses in power conversion by 25%; extending device and system lifetime by 30%; reducing chip size by at least 10%; and reducing development time by 50%.

Technically, PowerizeD aims to improve the mechanical and electrical integration of control, drive and switching functions in power components and to advance the optimization of the integration of all power switching functions. New switching topologies and advanced control strategies involving artificial intelligence applications will further improve efficient, robust and reliable operation.

Of the total €72 million project, the EU will provide approximately €18 million in funding. The project will run for three years and is expected to be completed in December 2025.
