Provide a roadmap for PTPE This task mainly addresses the technology challenges faced, especially those related to insulating material problems, followed by discussions and plans to solve them in subsequent tasks.
Requirements for materials and insulation systems Will include a detailed mapping and identification of stresses that may occur on materials inside a converter.
Feasible material candidates and material combinations This will be the most comprehensive task involving fundamental as well as applied material research on the performance of the materials.
Alternative packaging options for components and circuits This is another main task involving studies on possibilities and problems with alternative packaging options for components and circuits.
Realize PTPE component test objects and testing Addresses the need to provide test objects for investigating proposed solutions in task 4 and for providing components for live testing in task 6.
Build, test and verify feasible solutions by experiments on complete power circuits Addresses the need to establish representative PTPE test-circuits that can demonstrate the applicability of PTPE solution proposed in task 5.
Provide test and qualification methods Aims to provide support for preparing test and qualification methods for commercial PTPE products.
