Mamaatec project

MAMAATEC project aim is to develop and push industrialization of a design and prototyping technology, fast and automatic in power electronics in partnership with MAATEL company. Involved people are 3 PhDs, 1 IT engineer and 2 researcher/professor from G2Elab and several experts from Maatel company. The project is focused on technology maturation and development of a tool available online. These two developments are expected to answer industrial needs in terms of power converter design robustness and effectiveness as well as fast responses.
Based on a modular approach, the technology developed at G2Elab ensure design and production of power converters from conversion standard cells. Thanks to standardization and abstraction levels, automated design in power electronics is becoming possible.  
Within the project, two main research focus are carried out thanks to funding and experts:
  • Technology development and maturation of a technology platform with a focus on behavioral modeling, impact of component dispersion and EMI qualification, both conducted and radiated.
  • Web application development for automated design from specification declare. Available online to design and check main characteristic of modular power converters.
In spite of contractualization delays in 2020, followed by the sanitary crisis, the project goes on with the objectives to deliver end 2021 a set of prototypes, design method and tools.
