EPSRC Challenge Network in Automotive Power Electronics

EPSRC汽车电力电子挑战网络将汇集学术界和工业界，以确定和解决汽车电力转换和调节系统的设计，制造，部署和运营管理方面的长期挑战。将通过一系列研讨会促进社区协调，讨论关键技术挑战，为挑战网络战略和相关路线图提供意见。该网络还将编制和维持一份社区能力、资本设备和设施登记册。沙坑活动将有助于联盟的发展，以应对特定的研究挑战，例如响应EPSRC或欧盟委员会的呼吁。沙坑活动的与会者将被邀请参加可行性项目资金的竞争，特别是解决新的研究领域和建立具有互补专业知识的新财团。学术界和工业界之间的知识转移将通过双向人员交流得到促进，并得到联合工业网络资金的支持。外联活动将包括一个网站，在关键的国家和国际活动和年度社区会议的代表，与先进推进中心电力电子辐条一起举行。

The EPSRC Challenge Network in Automotive Power Electronics will bring together the academic and industrial communities to identify and address the long-term challenges in the design, manufacture, deployment and operational management of automotive electrical-power conversion and conditioning systems. Community coordination will be facilitated through a series of workshops, where key technical challenges will be debated, providing input into the Challenge Network Strategy and relevant roadmaps. The Network will also compile and maintain a register of community capability, capital equipment and facilities. Sandpit events will aid the development of consortia to address specific research challenges, for example in response to calls from EPSRC or from the European Commission. Attendees at the sandpit events will be invited to participate in competitions for funding of feasibility projects, in particular to address new lines of research and to establish new consortia with complementary expertise. Knowledge transfer between the academic and industrial communities will be stimulated through two-way people exchange, supported by joint industry-Network funding. Outreach activities will include a website, representation at key national and international events and an annual community conference, held in conjunction with the Advanced Propulsion Centre Power Electronics Spoke.
