MoWiLife - Leading Innovations for the European Energy Sector

MoWiLife – Leading Innovations for the European Energy Sector

The MoWiLife project is advancing power electronics technologies to enable sustainable, efficient, and resilient energy generation and transmission.

MoWiLife addresses three megatrends

Sustainability

Power electronics are one key enabler to overcome ecological and societal challenges described by the “European Green Deal”.

Secure & affordable energy supply

Predictable and robust energy generation and transmission must be realized in fast development cycles, boosting power density and strive for utmost efficiency.

Sovereignty

Power electronic technologies developed, manufactured and used in Europe are based on first class European education and strive for autonomy in the field of electric energy.

About the Project

Basis for the four MoWiLife pilots is a 2.3 kV SiC MOSFET, which will be developed by project partner Infineon. It includes a source-gate PiN diode, whose on-state voltage has a strong temperature dependence and can be read out by the gate drive, which will be developed by Rostock University. In addition, self-protection features will be integrated into the SiC chip for robustness and direct water cooling will be realized for higher output power.
