Wrap-up and Conclusions (Oriol Gomis Bellmunt, CITCEA-UPC & iPLUG Coordinator; Jonatan Peris Rivas, CIRCE & SSTAR Coordinator) – 5′
This webinar aims to:
- Present the technologies developed by the two projects
- Identify gaps and obstacles in power electronics and distribution networks
- Stimulate technical debate and collaboration
- Explore new research opportunities for future grid solutions.
The ConNetEU Cluster brings together two pioneering EU-funded projects, SSTAR and iPLUG, to drive innovation and sustainability in Europe’s energy sector. By leveraging the complementary strengths of both projects, the cluster advances energy-efficient solutions and sustainable technologies, including innovative power electronics with multiport converters and Solid-State Transformers (SSTs).
