Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is a deciding criterion that can hinder a company from delivering a product to the market. EMC is often qualified at a late stage and causes huge costs to implement palliative measures. Integrating EMC from the beginning of power electronic design helps to reduce these costs.
Powering tomorrow: Enable your EMC simulation capabilities
Partner Call open until: October 2025
Project Start: Q1 2026
In this project we establish a simulation framework for power electronic hardware designs that allows our partners to pre-estimate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) of the equipment, throughout the whole design phase.
Scope
- We take designs from our project partners to create simulation procedures as well as component-modelling procedures and enable the partners to employ these hands-on approaches in their companies.
- These procedures allow us to model all relevant components and incorporate them into the created simulation flow. Component models will be vastly extended beyond their functional model range, e.g. considering extended frequency range and the influence of the operation point. The project partners learn to create these models and apply the developed simulation procedures.
- Knowledge and techniques on “Reduced Order Modeling” are applied, to keep simulation time within a practical frame.
- We also apply machine learning algorithms and employ surrogate models for finding global optima in the designs between EMC performance and costs.
- We deal with conducted emissions as well as radiated emissions, in a frequency range up to several hundred MHz, well beyond the current state-of-art.
Ambition
- International consortium comprising industrial partners along the power electronic component value chain
- Target: up to 8 partners in the project
- 4 years project duration
Advantages for industry
- Attractive cofinancing: SAL covers 50% of the project volume, you only pay 25% in cash and 25% in-kind. Learn more.
- Competitive advantage:
- Pre-Estimate EMI of power electronic systems by utilization of generated IP from the beginning of your design process.
- Understand the “Design For EMC” eco-system and provide the right component models and interfaces
- Risk mitigation: start targeting EMC problems early and avoid additional costs and time loss due to failing EMC qualifications.
- Innovation: future EMC modeling and simulation technologies and exploration of emerging trends
- Partnership: cooperation in a pioneering and efficient eco-system
- Market demand: gain advantage over the competition by adopting “Design For EMC”
