The “CombiPower” project involves the design of a prototype for a novel, multifunctional, bidirectional charging and propulsion unit based on SiC semiconductors and active EMC filtering. The aim of the project is to develop the prototype to a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6. The prototype will be used to evaluate the expected benefits in terms of weight and cost reduction, as well as its grid-forming functions. Power hardware-in-the-loop (P-HiL) methods are used for this evaluation; these enable realistic testing under various boundary conditions at an early stage, thereby contributing to an accelerated development process. The aim is to integrate the prototype into a test vehicle.

In the HyLeiT joint project, research is being conducted into a new generation of electrolysis converters and electrical system technology for the energy supply of hydrogen electrolysis. The aim is to halve the system costs of electrical engineering from the grid connection point to the DC connection at the electrolyzer, taking into account associated operating costs and effects on H2 generation costs.
