Get to know FLAGCHIP! Our new project in the Power Electronics sector!

FLAGCHIP is a 42-month Horizon Research and Innovation Action funded by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) under the Horizon Europe Programme (2021-2027).

The project is implemented by a competitive consortium of 11 partners, from 8 different countries (Spain, Norway, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, and Switzerland), with a strong research group collaborating with key stakeholders that include industrial players such as manufacturers, research-based companies and business development firms.

FLAGCHIP will validate wide band-gap (WBG) and ultra wide band-gap (UWBG) semiconductor technologies and their integration into more compact and cost-effective power modules, combining these developments with upgraded condition and health monitoring of power electronic components.

FLAGCHIP’s approaches will be demonstrated through AC/DC and DC/DC applications at two pilot sites in France (DC/DC MVDC Converter) and Norway (AC/DC Offshore Wind Turbine and Substation Converter architecture).

As a result, FLAGCHIP will enhance the efficiency of Power Electronics components, facilitating the creation of a new generation of inverters, converters, and other power equipment for the energy sector.

Q-PLAN will undertake the lead in dissemination and exploitation as well as the business modelling and planning activities, thus paving the way for the smooth roll out of the FLAGCHIP results!

The website and social media will be out soon, so stay tuned!
