The final closing meeting of the project “Digitalisation of Power Electronics Applications in Key Technology Value Chains (PowerizeD)” took place in Athens, Greece. The project brought together partners from 13 European countries, who presented the progress achieved over three years. The meeting marked the successful completion of the project.
On February 24, Dr. Kaspars Ozols participated in the project Steering Committee meeting, where he presented the results of risk mitigation activities and the project’s Key Exploitable Results.
From February 25 to 26, Dr. Kaspars Ozols’ team actively contributed to the project activities, including leading researchers Kaspars Sudars and Rolands Šāvelis, as well as research assistant Artūrs Ņikuļins. The EDI team presented its work on artificial intelligence privacy methods, including differential privacy approaches in federated learning systems, as well as solutions for reducing transistor power loss by controlling the parameters of the input control signal.
In collaboration with the Technical University of Eastern Bavaria (OTH, Germany) and the Swedish Research Institute (RISE, Sweden), federated learning systems were developed and trained, and these were presented at the project’s closing event. In these systems, EDI developed and ensured the implementation of the differential privacy approach.
Within the project, the primary focus was on the optimisation of electrical systems, achieving over 25% reduction in power losses, contributing to climate improvement goals that align with key European priorities.
The overarching theme and core objectives of the project were to optimise the operation of power electronics technologies – ensuring lower operational losses and extending system lifecycle. As part of this work, monitoring systems for analysing the lifetime and quality of electrical systems were developed, including functionality to predict the potential remaining lifetime of the system.
