Application Readiness Map for Wide Bandgap (WBG) Semiconductors

The Power Electronic Conversion Technology Platform (PECTA) Application Readiness Map for Wide Bandgap (WBG) Semiconductors describes their expected market position through 2036. It is based on interviews with many experts and various roadmaps and could be used as a basis for deciding which power semiconductor technology to choose. This report presents an updated version and […]

Product Policy Framework for Demand Side Flexibility: Case Studies

This report is a compilation of case studies mapping the status of residential product flexibility in seven jurisdictions using the EDNA Product Policy Framework for Demand Side Flexibility.  The report aims to test the effectiveness of the framework for mapping product policy and to collate approaches across a range of jurisdictions. 

Residential HEMS and controllers

This report investigates the global home energy management system (HEMS) market addressing key questions about existing products, market penetration, product categories, interoperability, and relevant policies.   

Advancing the energy efficiency of home energy storage systems

This report explores the energy efficiency of home energy storage systems (HESS), identifies current standards available to test HESS energy efficiency performance, identifies current barriers to lifting the minimum energy efficiency of HESS, and makes recommendations to address these barriers.

Overview of Flexibility Platforms

This report examines the ability of ‘flexibility platforms’ to unlock demand flexibility from appliances in the household and commercial sectors.

AC/HP Test Methods 2.0: Phase 4 Findings Summary

This report provides the results of a round-robin testing across multiple international laboratories to evaluate the reproducibility and representativeness of a new 4E TCP Test Method for Air conditioner/Heat Pump products to better reflect real life energy performance.

Data Centre Energy Efficiency Labels

This study explores energy efficiency labels for data centres by researching and analysing existing labelling schemes and making suggestions for the characteristics of a worldwide applicable data centre energy efficiency label.

Cybersecurity for Demand Flexible Appliances

This report focusses on cybersecurity threats in relation to demand flexible networked appliances.  It investigates current efforts to address these, and summarises the issues that policy makers should be aware of in relation to minimising cybersecurity risks.

Optimized SiC PV Inverter

This report contains a detailed comparsion between a commercially available hybrid Si/SiC and a competitive full-SiC PV converter. The main objective was to provide a fair comparison in terms of semiconductor efficiency between both solutions.

AC power supply issue for intrinsic flicker performance measurement

These comments were prepared and submitted to Members of three Expert Working Groups investigating temporal light modulation: CIE TC 2-89, IEC TC34 WG5 and IES LM-90 WG.  These comments were intended to enable experts working on these committees to consider these preliminary findings on our on-going research into TLM measurements and certain AC power supplies […]

DC Wallbox Pre Scoping Study

The 4E PECTA DC-Wallbox pre-scoping study aims to enhance understanding of DC-Wallboxes and pro-vides an overview of the current DC charging market, emphasizing the efficiencies of commercially avail-able chargers across different power levels.

Reliability of electronic components and systems with WBG technology

Power electronics plays a vital role in various applications, from household devices to electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. This report, a result of the 4E PECTA Platform, covers reliability challenges at both component and system levels, discusses the state of the art in design processes, and proposes indicators for policymakers to support WBG adoption in energy applications.
