Powering tomorrow: Enable your EMC simulation capabilities

Partner Call open until: October 2025

Project Start: Q1 2026

Project EMI Clean Converters

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.

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”
