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42个月的项目收集合作伙伴，从基于SIC的整个转换器的完整价值链合作，可以解决技术的市场吸收。因此，SIC4GRID的目标是一项优化的基于SIC的技术，该技术由硬件，软件和物联网的三倍创新组成。确实，为了优化技术经济和环境支柱，该财团将设计，生产，测试和验证由30％较小尺寸的基于SIC的30％基于SIC的功率模块组成，并与先进的技术竞争，并与改编的优化自我实现的能源管理系统（EMS）耦合。这会扩大强大的系统级IoT体系结构的好处以及适应性的数字工具，例如数字双胞胎和优化算法。在整个项目中，转换器制造过程的所有步骤的循环和生态设计都将被针对，并强调资源优化和碳排放量的降低。测试阶段将在物理测试工作台上作为集成模块化转换器进行，也将以数字方式进行，以增加相关应用程序的种类和实际状况。因此，将选择三个用例以增加验证的参数和应用程序范围，包括MMC和SST转换器，陆上/离岸风和PV应用程序以及存储的潜力。总体而言，该项目通过降低其成本（与硅转换器相比降低30％），其大小（减少15％），其寿命（30多年）和环境影响（30％的资源消耗和减少50％CO2排放减少），从而有助于提高技术的市场准备力。从长远来看，SIC4Grid还将有助于可再生能源整合能源电网，并将欧洲的领导才能成为转换器技术提供商的最前沿。
