The VIVAE project focuses on power electronics (PE) systems to increase their lifetime or to preserve the functional, environmental and economic high value of their subsystems with respect to industry constraints. These considerations often delayed or even not studied due to the conservatism of industrial actors, despite the high repair potential or preservation of residual values inherent in PE systems (components or materials based on the evaluation of different end-of-life scenarios). VIVAE will propose an integrated modular re-design method for the circular economy of these products until standards proposal. It will also propose method and indicators to evaluate the residual values of the system and its subparts and components, in order to assess the best repair / recovery scenarios. Ecodesign of these new generations of EPs is coupled with the development of a proof of concept of a robot-cobot dis-assembly cell interacting with an augmented operator.
