Objective The growth of Power Electronics has been driven by the demand for more electrical solutions in a very diverse range of application sectors, including transport electrification, energy generation, transmission and distribution, consumer electronics and lighting, industrial motor drives. This range of applications has brought increasing demands on the performance, reliability and cost of power electronics and the associated power conversion techniques, leading to a rapid and dynamic improvement in a range of essential technologies.In this context, two leading institutions in the field of power electronics, Techniques et Fabrications Electroniques (TFE) and the University of Nottingham (UNOTT) are combining their forces in order to propose a project (POCOL) that will enable a step change in the development of high specification power converters for modern aircraft application such as for the lifeRcraft helicopter.The two partners of the project will be organized as to get the best of their specificity. Being a University well known for its strong research activity allows UNOTT to lead the project at the beginning for the three first work packages, setting up the bases of the design. As an equipment designer and manufacturer working in the aeronautic area, TFE will be the leader of the rest of the project and will be able to propose an industrialization of the product made under the POCOL project.TFE and UNOTT will work together to:• Develop models and design the required power converter and inverter to meet the functional and operational performance and reliability requirements set out in the CfP. • Manufacture B1 prototypes that meet the design criteria up to TRL5• Test the B1 demonstrators under relevant environmental and operational conditions• Re-iterate knowledge gained from B1 models into updated B2 models• Build B2 demonstrators and test and validate up to TRL6• Provide relevant documentation to prove required certification Fields of science engineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringnatural scienceschemical sciencesinorganic chemistryinorganic compoundsnatural sciencesmathematicspure mathematicstopologyengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringsensorsengineering and technologymechanical engineeringvehicle engineeringaerospace engineeringaircraftrotorcraft Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.4. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Smart, Green And Integrated Transport Main Programme H2020-EU.3.4.5.3. - IADP Fast Rotorcraft Topic(s) JTI-CS2-2014-CFP01-FRC-02-07 - Power Conversion Call for proposal H2020-CS2-CFP01-2014-01 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CS2-IA - Innovation action Coordinator TFE TECHNIQUES ET FABRICATIONS ELECTRONIQUES SAS Net EU contribution € 292 455,00 Address 18 RUE JEAN PERRIN 31100 TOULOUSE France See on map Region Occitanie Midi-Pyrénées Haute-Garonne Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 1 023 286,25 Participants (1) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM United Kingdom Net EU contribution € 206 545,00 Address University Park NG7 2RD Nottingham See on map Region East Midlands (England) Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Nottingham Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 206 545,00
