Interreg 5a: Leistungselektronik Region (PE:Region)
The PE:Region project targets a leading role for the German-Danish cross-border region in development and production of innovative power electronics components and systems. This implies robust, reliable and energy efficient products to growing markets where regional companies in particular have a strong position in the value chains of renewable energy, variable speed drives, control and regulation of electric energy, and green mobility.

Power electronics region (PE:Region) – cross-border application-oriented innovation within power electronics
Power electronics is a cross-cutting technology based on solid-state electronics. It is applied for efficient control and conversion of electric power in a large number of applications within electronic equipment, home appliances, transport, industrial production, and energy generation. This is illustrated on Figure 1. A growing demand for innovative power electronics products and solutions is expected due to electrification of the energy systems and higher demands for energy efficiency.

In this manner the PE:Region project will in a new and focused cross-border region initiative related to excellence and innovation in power electronics provide synergies and a stronger basis for the future German-Danish position in power electronics manufacturing. Research and development activities in a field of high regional importance will improve the basis for regional economic growth and employment. The project will run for three years, involving two PhDs and a Post Doc.
