PECTA

The Power Electronic Conversion Technology Platform (PECTA) is one of four Platforms (EDNA, EMSA, SSL and PECTA) within the IEA 4E TCP (Technology Collaboration Program of Energy Efficient End-Use Equipment) and was launched in March 2019. Currently (September 2024), there are 4 governments sponsoring PECTA:

Overall Goal of PECTA

The overall goal of PECTA includes collecting and analysing information about new wide bandgap (WBG) based power electronic devices, coordinating internationally acceptable approaches that promote WBG-based power electronics and developing greater understanding and action amongst governments and policy makers

Specific Goals

  • Collecting and analysing information on new WBG-based power electronics as energy efficient technology
  • Share expertise and pool resources on this energy efficient technology (also including e.g. hosting of open forums and building collaborative networks as well as gathering and exchange information)
  • Coordinating internationally acceptable government approaches that promote WBG-based power electronics.
  • Developing greater understanding and promote government actions that encourage the use of WBG-based power electronics.
  • Accompanying and supportinginternational standardization public organizations (specifically IEC).
