EU project Progressus to tackle smart grids
An EU-funded project called Progressus is currently addressing three challenges in the realisation of next-generation smart grids: efficient energy conversion, smart energy management and secure monitoring – especially in the context of growing electric car sales.
The project consortium coordinated by Infineon includes 21 partners from five European countries, specifically Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Slovakia. The participants are pushing the development of future smart grid solutions primarily with a view to the upcoming, high performance requirements of ultra-fast DC charging stations for electric vehicles and bidirectional charging.
The aim of the project is to research, design and develop future smart grid solutions that can be integrated into existing smart grid architecture concepts with minimal investment. The project, which is scheduled to run for three years, started in April 2020. In addition to the consortium
