Underpinning Power Electronics 2012: Devices Theme

该计划是EPSRC电力电子基础项目的一部分。它是支持该中心的四个主要研究主题之一（沿着与集成组件，转换器和集成驱动器），并专注于电力电子的基本构建模块，即半导体组件。其目的是实现技术水平的飞跃。通过开发新技术，深入了解故障物理学，建立预测可靠性模型和紧凑模型，该计划将直接有利于中心枢纽和其他主题，支持和刺激英国电力电子领域的制造业，并提供国际领先的研究成果。

This programme is part of the EPSRC project on Underpinning power electronics. It is one of four main research themes supporting the centre (along with integrated components, Converters and Integrated Drives) and focuses on the basic building block of power electronics, namely the semiconductor components. The aim is to enable a step-change in the state of the art. By enabling the development of new technology, gaining deeper theoretical insight into the physics of failure, building predictive reliability models and compact models, this programme will be of direct benefit to the central hub and the other themes as well as supporting and stimulating UK manufacturing industries in the area of power electronics and providing internationally leading research output.
