New PECTA Policy Brief published – key findings and observations for policy makers
The latest policy brief from PECTA, ‘The Energy Saving Potential of Wide Band Gap Technology in selected appliances’ has been published and is available for download here.
Policy Brief: The Energy Saving Potential of Wide Band Gap Technology in selected applications
This policy brief summarises the key findings of the 2023 PECTA report Energy saving potential of WBG-commercial power converters in different applications. It provides an update of the potential energy savings given in the detailed analysis of the published Policy Brief in December 2020 (PECTA 1).
LED Product Lifetime Testing Report
A new report by the IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex provides a look across the body of literature on lifetime definitions for LEDs and LED products. The reports looks at failure mechanisms, accelerated life tests
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.
Wide Band Gap Technology: Timing of most beneficial policy measures
This report reflects a special working result of the first term of PECTA, the Power Electronic Conversion Technology Platform. It contains suggestions for possible policy measures and mapping with applications over a timeline.
