FLAGCHIP has officially started!

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.

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.

FLAGCHIP will validate wide bandgap (WBG) and ultra-wide bandgap (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 in France (DC/DC MVDC Converter) and Norway (AC/DC Offshore Wind Turbine and Substation Converter).

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