Sustainable Power Electronics

For the sustainable use of power electronics, a long-lasting, efficiently managed life cycle is becoming increasingly important. Circular economy principles such as “Rethink,” “Repair,” and “Recycle,” as well as data-driven life cycle strategies, extend service life, facilitate repairs, and enable high-quality material recycling.

Fraunhofer IKTS offers sustainable solutions for the next generation of power electronics. The goal is, in particular, to develop durable, repair-friendly, and recycling-ready systems that reduce the use of critical raw materials and maximize energy efficiency throughout the entire life cycle. Through innovative materials, optimized designs, and data-driven life-cycle strategies, we aim to create modules that are not only technically impressive but also meet the requirements of a resource-efficient industry.
