A set of experimental prototypes will be developed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed solutions and the report will include the validation performed. From the control point of view, rapid prototyping solutions based on Imperix half/full/NPC bricks and Bombox controllers will be adopted. Instead, from the converter topology point of view, the most promising solutions will be implemented with state-of-art technology at the laboratory level. The report will include the static and dynamic performance of the proposed solution under different operating conditions.

Finally, the research will be also related to controlling of high-bandwidth current/voltage regulations and the achievement of passivity of the input impedance in the whole frequency range.

Project Management Plan (opens in new window)

This deliverable sets out the iPLUG project management plan. The plan covers all processes and links the responsibilities at both person and partner level to assure the generation of high-quality deliverables aligned with the project plan as described in the Action Description. It will be reviewed through the project, particularly before the end of the first reporting period and the end of the second reporting period.

Data Management Plan (opens in new window)

The Management Plan (DMP) outlines the procedures employed in the project for the treatment of data throughout and upon project completion, addresses which type of data will be gathered, processed and extracted, establishes which methodology and standards will be applied whilst compiling and treating data, and develops processes for the sharing of data and open access of iPLUG data. Moreover, it details the proceedings with regard to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and describes the ways in which iPLUG guarantees the data protection, information and privacy rights of the organisations. The DMP is a living document which is updated as project execution moves forward and as significant modifications are undertaken.
