International Technology Roadmap for High-Power Electronics for Modern Energy Grids (ITRG)

ITRG

About this Program

The worldwide shift towards electrification and digitalization mandates the adoption of energy-efficient and economically viable methods for electricity generation, transmission, and utilization. Meeting this demand requires the integration of power electronics and digital technologies, which are critical to address these challenges. Recently, modern energy grids are increasingly incorporating high-power, high-/medium-voltage power electronic converters and systems (e.g. high-voltage direct-current (HVDC), static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs), large-scale renewable power plants and power-to-x stations, hyperscale data centers, solid-state circuit breakers, solid-state transformers, and grid-forming energy storage systems, etc.).  This roadmap seeks to identify the research and technology developments in high-power electronics and digital technologies for future net-zero energy systems.

ITRG is currently seeking volunteers to join the working groups.  Developing working groups will focus on the fundamental technologies of component, control, modeling, hardware integration, application, and other topics such as thermal management, EMC, sustainability, etc.

How to Get Involved

The ITRG group currently need stakeholders from the industry (consultants, manufacturers, technology providers, utilities), national labs, research institutions, academia, and professional associations to provide guidance and foresight for distributed energy resources and begin developing working groups.

To become a contributing member of the ITRG, please provide a brief, one-page resume showing your technical background and how it qualifies you to contribute to the development of the ITRG. Be sure to indicate the area of the roadmap activity you would like to concentrate your contribution.
