HiPower 5.0 Objectives

The project will deliver groundbreaking technological breakthroughs in new GaN materials, advanced packaging and integration solutions, digital and eco-design tools, including the LCA tool, and control strategies, paving the way towards Power Electronics 5.0. Within HiPower 5.0, we take up this vision with four dedicated objectives, addressing the full set of new performance indicators to make a big step towards Power Electronics 5.0 and enable a future European competitive advantage on the global market.

HiPower 5.0 Vision

The project's vision is to exploit the potential of gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) devices to enable radical improvements in the performance, reliability, and sustainability of elec-tric drivetrain components. The project will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport, enhancing energy efficiency and security, as well as to foster an all-European integrated value chain from semiconductor to mobility application level.
