Acronym: GreenInverter
Start date : 01.03.2024
End date : 28.02.2027
The "Green Inverter" project aims to set new standards in terms of recyclable, repairable and upgradeable
hardware in the field of electrical energy conversion. At the same time, energy efficiency is to be
significantly improved. The advantages will be demonstrated using the example of an inverter. The state of
the art, which is based on the principle of individual component developments, is to be replaced by a new
systemic approach.
By means of a disruptively new approach for a combined cooling and insulation strategy, component
temperatures are reduced and the use of new materials is made possible, whereby energy efficiency can
be increased. A significant increase in recyclability, reduction of the product CO2 footprint and increase in
product lifetime due to a more homogeneous temperature distribution in the converter will also be achieved.
In addition, future, new business models are included in the considerations, which means that construction
and design must be less strongly oriented towards manufacturing costs.
