The project focused on researching a scalable development platform for AI-based and highly dynamic control methods for power electronics and electric drives.

During the first funding phase (2020–2023), a consortium developed the “UltraZohm” development platform. This platform enables the development of new algorithms for energy efficiency, reliability, and safety in power electronic systems and electric drives.
The second project phase (2024–2026) promoted the growth of the user community and established the platform’s use in industrial applications.

Interactivity was fostered by a European competition titled “AI-Power: open Innovative Challenge,” which encouraged solutions for aspects of embedded systems related to power electronics, electric drives, and their control.
On November 21, 2024, the project was awarded the CNA e.V. Innovation Prize at the “LogistikCongress ׀ Bayern 2024.”
