Over the last three years, IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) Women in Engineering (WIE) has had a 500% increase in the number of events at PELS conferences, chapters, and virtual
Empower a Billion Lives’s (EBL) goal is to cultivate the scalable delivery of sustainable electricity to people poorly served by the traditional grid model, so that these customers can improve
The first edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Wide Bandgap Power Semiconductors (ITRW) was published in September 2019 [1]. This was a watershed moment for the IEEE Power Electronics
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is the newest standing committee within PELS, reporting directly to the PELS President to serve as an effective cross-functional advising and support system
DC power systems support a more sustainable future by lowering carbon footprints. However, these systems provide significant hurdles in terms of fault protection. DC grids demand faster protection devices because
Demand for robust and reliable systems with improved performance, reduced size and increased efficiencies means that power supply designers are seeking new technologies to support increased switching speeds, higher power

Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) has emerged as one of the important isolated dc–dc converters due to its bidirectional power flow capability, simple architecture, and ability to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) over
This year the IEEE Power Electronics Society’s (PELS) Strategic Planning Committee had selected the city of Geneva in Switzerland as the site for its biennial “Future of Electronic Power Processing
Power electronics and digitalization, including artificial intelligence (AI) and information and communication technologies (ICT), are crucial for the green transition by optimizing energy efficiency and integrating renewable energy sources into
The low-inertia characteristics of the power-electronics-dominated grid (PEDG) introduces challenges while restoring voltage and frequency to their nominal values following system contingencies. These stability challenges create new cybersecurity vulnerabilities
