The Stephenson Challenge: driving the electrification revolution

Proposal: Cross-Sectoral coordination of UK Power Electronics,

Electric Machines and Drives (PEMD)

Objective: UK Manufacture of £5Billion more Motor Drives By 2025

ISCF Wave 3 EOI

Driving future industries Power Electronics, Motors & Drives (PEMD) are essential to next generation technologies:

• All UK cars to be zero carbon by 2040

• New aircraft to be electric / hybridised to meet next phase emissions and noise legislation by 2040

• Renewables (Wind, Wave, Tidal) to form and increasing percentage of energy generation (80% CO2 reduction by 2050)

• High speed rail network to grow to reduce pressure on roads and decrease journey times

The Stephenson Challenge will ensure that our technology, industry and skills are in place to lead the world and create high value jobs, export and sustainability

Market Opportunity

• Automotive – Auto Council/APC Strategy Paper identified requirement for >2m next generation drives to underpin growth in electric vehicles and replace 2.5M engines produced in the UK as they are phased out

• Aerospace – ‘100MW electrical energy on a plane’ strategy driving the future of a £3.5 trillion export opportunity

• Energy – Renewable energy is expected to grow at CAGR of 11.5%, PEMD is at the core of wind, tidal, wave and hydro-power system development. PEMD is also at the heart of high efficiency Solid State Transformer migration improving grid efficiency, the energy sector is expected to spend £60 billion on power electronics alone over the next 25 years

• Industrial - Power Electronics UK white paper (over 100 UK companies across sectors) identified specific grand challenges in the kW and MW range

• … other examples in Off-Highway, Rail, Marine, other sectors
