The Tranche 1 research theme programmes ran from 2013 to 2017 and wassupported by £8 million of EPSRC funding. The key challenges addressed in this phase were:

  • increased efficiency
  • increased power density
  • increased robustness
  • lower electromagnetic interference
  • higher levels of integration, and
  • lower costs

Ten core university partners were directly involved in this phase of the Centre’s research.
