Why Power Electronics plus artificial intelligence?

Power Electronics process 80% of electricity generated and utilized today, being a part of the critical infrastructure of green transition. Since the 1990s, academic research in power electronics has started focusing on AI-based methods. There is still a lack of practical implementation. AI-Power will bridge the gap to industry applications by developing tailored physics-informed AI tools for energy efficiency boost and life-cycle-cost reduction of power electronic systems. It will consolidate the competitive edge of the energy sector and bring new opportunities in CO2 reduction.

Leveraging physics & AI tools for smart, small, reliable solutions

The evolving electrical energy systems require new principles and operational practices. It, in turn, means we must develop and implement new and updated system tools. AI-Power project strives to address three significant challenges. It will develop tailored physics-informed AI tools for the design, operation, and maintenance of power electronic systems.

  • How to obtain and understand the most relevant database?
  • How to develop computational-efficient and affordable AI solutions?
  • How to quantify uncertainty and interpret the results from AI?

Boosting power electronics products and startups for energy eco-system

AI-Power will bridge the gap to industry applications by developing tailored physics-informed AI tools for energy efficiency boost and life-cycle-cost reduction of power electronic systems. It will consolidate the competitive edge of the Danish energy sector and bring new opportunities in CO2 reduction. It involves four industry partners: Xtel (IoT), Neurospace (machine learning), Danfoss (power electronics), and Nordic Ultra Capacitor Engineering Research Center (e-mobility) and two universities. It estimates that the outcomes will create 200 million DKK business opportunities and 100 jobs within 3-5 years after the project, increasing to two billion DKK with 1,000 jobs in the long term.
