Contribution à la définition des enjeux et verrous de la soutenabilité en électronique de puissance

The GT-CEPPS (Working Group on More Sustainable Electronic Power Converters) of the GDR SEEDS (Electrical Energy Systems in their Societal Dimensions) presents here the results of its work on the challenges and obstacles to sustainability in power electronics. The work focuses on two aspects of the topic: tools, methods and indicators on the one hand, and circular design on the other. The analysis is structured into four levels corresponding to degrees of difficulty, transformation and societal acceptability. At each level, the challenges and obstacles are described and then translated into avenues for research activities. The whole is contextualised and illustrated through ongoing activities at national and European level.
