Leveraging the collective strength of their partner network, the mission of our host, DER-IC NE, is to work with industry to grow UK Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD) manufacturing capability, capacity, and competitiveness, reducing the cost and risk of manufacturing PEMD by providing expertise and open access, state-of-the-art equipment.

Their highly reconfigurable assembly lines, with in-process inspection, dynamometer, X-ray and CT scan, and environmental test equipment enable process development, optimisation, and product verification.

Led by Newcastle University, the Centre will ensure that the North East remains at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, drawing on the expertise of the region’s universities and industry to support advancements in electrification and grow the region’s knowledge economy.
