With 4 supporting countries and over 40 industry and academic experts the IEA – 4E[1] Power Electronic Conversion Technology Annex – PECTA[2] is moving forward with its ambitious work plan. PECTA aims to support policy-makers by providing evidence and information on Wide band gap (WBG) Technology, to promote the use of WBG in power electronics and thus to contribute to an increased energy efficiency in various sectors; with applications ranging from inverters for photovoltaic and wind plants, to electronic devices, uninterrupted power supplies and industry automation equipment. PECTA’s workplan consists of 7 established tasks and the results of these tasks will be presented during 3 EPE conference afternoon sessions on-site at Aalborg university. The experts leading the tasks will discuss their approaches and results related to the wider adoption and use of Wide Bandgap (WBG) technologies driven by SiC and GaN.
This conference is an exciting opportunity for PECTA members and non-members to learn more on how PECTA is going forward and to contribute to its success!
