UNIFLEX PM

Advanced Power Convertors for Universal and Flexible Power Management in Future Electricity Networks

Welcome.

Strategic objective: secure a clean, sustainable & economic energy supply for the EU.

Intelligent power flow management using Power Electronics based FACTS devices could build a secure & stable network.

UNIFLEX-PM will enable a transformation of electricity grids into interactive and unified supply network.

UNIFLEX-PM's potential is to enable the introduction of the concepts needed before the plan for "Future European Electricity Grid" can be implemented.

• UNIFLEX-PM aims to deliver a key enabling technology for EC Priority Thematic Area 1.1.6.1 "Sustainable Energy Systems".

• Power Electronics converters developed in UNIFLEX-PM will balance diverse energy sources & integrate RES DG into existing & future unified European electricity supply systems.

• A new, modular power conversion architecture for universal application in the Future European Electricity Network.

• UNIFLEX-PM combines:

  • Research in power converter topology & control
  • New semiconductor device

• UNIFLEX-PM modular converters provide functionality, performance and reliability at low cost.

• The modular concept enables mass production of standard types to achieve low cost.

• The project includes determination of performance requirements, electrical specifications & control requirements.
