The second Power Electronics International Conference and Exhibition is set to deliver a portfolio of insightful, informative, highly valued chip-level conference and exhibition on April 16th and 17th, 2024, in Brussels. With soaring sales of silicon devices and explosive growth in SiC and GaN technologies, the industry is optimistic. The two days of insightful talks and panel discussions will delve into the factors driving this industry boom and address emerging challenges.
Presentations at Power Electronics International 2024 are grouped into 6 key themes which collectively provide complete coverage of the global power electronics industry. The various themes are
Capacity Across the Supply Chain
Capacity across the supply chain in power electronics refers to the ability of suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors to meet the demand for power electronic components, systems, and services. It involves ensuring sufficient production capacity, reliable sourcing of materials, and efficient distribution channels to support the industry's growth and requirements.
Silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs: Evolving for the Future
Silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are evolving to meet future power electronics needs. Advancements focus on improving efficiency, power density, switching speeds, and thermal performance for a wide range of applications.
Technology Developments in WBG: SiC, GaN and Beyond
Developments in wide-bandgap (WBG) materials like SiC (silicon carbide), GaN (gallium nitride) and newcomers such as Ga2O3 (gallium oxide) promise higher efficiencies, faster-switching speeds, and increased power density to power electronics.
GaN - Widening the Application Space
GaN (gallium nitride) is beginning to move into new and higher power applications bringing its high efficiency, fast switching speeds, and compact size to electric vehicles, renewable energy, data centers, and more.
Upgrading the GRID – The Role of Power Electronics (inc. Energy Waste and Efficiency)
Power electronics play a vital role in upgrading the power grid by enabling advanced control, conversion, and integration of renewable energy sources.
System Reliability - Testing Times
System reliability in power electronics is ensured through rigorous testing. Methods such as thermal, electrical, and environmental stress testing help identify failure modes and improve product quality for consistent performance and longevity.
