SiC4GRID is a 42-months project gathering partners from the complete value chain of SiC-based converters collaborating to tackle current obstacles to the technologies' market uptake. SiC4GRID thus aims for an optimised integrated SiC-based technology composed of three-fold innovations in terms of hardware, software and IoT. Indeed, to optimise both techno-economic and environmental pillars, the consortium will design, produce, test and validate an integrated product composed of a 30% smaller size energy-efficient SiC-based power module competitive with state-of-the-art technology and coupled with an adapted optimised self-healing energy management system (EMS). This EMS amplifies the benefits of a strong system-level IoT architecture and adapted digital tools such as digital twin and optimisation algorithms. Throughout the project, the circularity and eco-design of all steps of the converter manufacturing process will be targeted with a strong emphasis on resource optimisation and carbon emission reduction. The testing phase will be done both as an integrated modular converter on a physical test bench, as well as digitally to increase the variety of relevant applications and real condition scenario. For the digital simulations, three use cases will therefore be chosen to increase the validated parameters and scope of applications, including MMC and SST converters, onshore/offshore wind and PV applications, as well as the potential for storage. Overall, the project contributes to advancing the market readiness of the technology by lowering its cost (30% cost reduction compared to silicon converters), its size (15% size reduction), its lifetime (30+ years) and its environmental impact (30% resource consumption reduction and 50% CO2 emission reduction). In the longer-term, SiC4GRID will thus also help renewable energies integrate the energy grid and bring European leadership to the forefront of converter technology providers.

SiC4GRID 是一个为期 42 个月的项目，聚集了来自 SiC 转换器完整价值链的合作伙伴，共同解决当前该技术市场推广的障碍。因此，SiC4GRID 旨在实现基于 SiC 的优化集成技术，由硬件、软件和物联网方面的三重创新组成。事实上，为了优化技术经济和环境支柱，该联盟将设计、生产、测试​​和验证一种集成产品，该产品由尺寸缩小 30% 的节能 SiC 功率模块组成，可与最先进的技术竞争并配有经过调整的优化自愈能源管理系统（EMS）。该 EMS 放大了强大的系统级物联网架构和适应的数字工具（例如数字孪生和优化算法）的优势。在整个项目中，转换器制造过程的所有步骤的循环性和生态设计都将以资源优化和碳减排为重点。测试阶段将在物理测试台上作为集成模块化转换器进行，并以数字方式进行，以增加相关应用和真实条件场景的多样性。因此，对于数字模拟，将选择三个用例来增加经过验证的参数和应用范围，包括 MMC 和 SST 转换器、陆上/海上风电和光伏应用以及存储潜力。总体而言，该项目通过降低成本（与硅转换器相比成本降低 30%）、尺寸（尺寸减小 15%）、使用寿命（30 年以上）和环境影响（30 年以上），有助于推进该技术的市场准备。 % 资源消耗减少和 50% 二氧化碳排放减少）。从长远来看，SiC4GRID也将帮助可再生能源整合能源网，并将欧洲的领导地位推向转换器技术提供商的前沿。
