Miniaturization in power electronic

These objectives are obtained through the project by: a) Developing a virtual qualification and design software consisting of model and methodology for the prediction and simulation of price and quality optimal qualification of alternative miniaturization technologies in order that over sizing can be avoided and a reduction in price and energy consumption is obtained. b) Application of said model/methodology for the development of alternative price and quality optimal power modules for motor controls and house hold appliances in the power area 0,1 - 10 kW so that existing controllers can be substituted with miniaturized power modules and consequently make possible a broad implementation on the future market for motor controllers and house hold appliances. c) Verification of the developed prediction and simulation methodology's validity through production and accelerated reliability test of the developed power modules. d) To contribute to the establishment of increased Danish capability within the field of modelling and simulation of power electronics through formation of knowledge and research by means of Ph. D project and guest researcher. e) To establish know how at the participants on a level corresponding to STD IEEE - 1413-98 (standard Methodology for Reliability Prediction and Assessment for Electronic Systems and Equipment). f) To develop prototypes within two selected application with broad markets
