About the project:
RHODaS is an EU-funded project within EET. From Aarhus University, Corneliu Barbu is the project lead, and Arman Fathollahidehkordi, Uffe Jakobsen and Jørgen Houe Pedersen contribute to the project. The AU team has been responsible for activities related to thermal management of power electronic devices, control, and digital-twin development.
During the RHODaS project, a group of students has provided valuable support:

• Thermal management: Jacob Søllingvrå Jørgensen and Kalle Bundgaard Troldborg
• Power electronics and gate-drive design: Jacob Kirk Jepsen and Jonas Just Hansen
• Digital-twin modeling of the EV powertrain: Jesper Laursen and Mathias Løgstrup

RHODaS objectives:
The RHODaS project aims to develop disruptive power converter topologies using new semiconductor materials and cutting-edge digital technologies to improve efficiency, power density, reliability, cost, and sustainability. It also addresses multidisciplinary approaches for modular power electronics in Integrated Motor Drives (IMDs) and ecodesign considerations to create compact solutions for heavy-duty electric transport. A modular approach can help unify design, manufacturing, performance, and safety requirements and support a cost-efficient EU value chain based on economies of scale, strengthening competitiveness and supporting circular-economy models.
