On Friday, 28 June, the management of the Łukasiewicz – Electrotechnical Institute signed an agreement to receive funding from the National Reconstruction Plan (NRP). The amount of funding, amounting to more than PLN 70 million, will enable further development of modern technologies that have a significant impact on the security of the energy sector and the electrical engineering industry in Poland.
The funds received will be used to develop the institute’s research capacity, including the upgrade and construction of unique research laboratories in five key areas:
1. Electromobility and intelligent transport – the laboratories will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for research into modern means of transport.
2. Hydrogen technology diagnostics – development of hydrogen technologies that could play a key role in the future of energy.
3. Power electronic converter designs – research into converters that are key to efficient power conversion.
4. Electrical power equipment – equipping laboratories with advanced electrical power equipment necessary for research into new technologies in the power industry.
5. GaN and SiC high-frequency devices – the development of gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) based technologies, which are key to modern, high-performance electronic devices
The implementation of these tasks will enhance the quality of the institute’s research, supporting the development of innovative technologies and increasing competitiveness in the national and international markets.
The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP), funded by the European Union, aims to rebuild the development potential of the economy and create sustainable competitiveness for the country. These investment projects are an important step towards ensuring energy security and supporting the electrical engineering industry in Poland.
