It has long been the opinion of this columnist that power electronics (PE) and energy storage (ES) are not just complementary, but should always be thought of as two peas
From NVIDIA’s 800 V vision for the future, to Vertiv’s Director of Engineering Brian Heber’s Plenary talk “HVDC Distribution For Future AI Data Centers” [1], to the unending news reports
Energy efficiency is no longer a secondary design consideration; it is a primary driver of innovation across the power electronics industry. From AI data centers to electric mobility and industrial
As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms modern society, power electronics plays a dual role: it powers the AI era, and it is increasingly being transformed by AI itself. Yet current PE

Aligned with PSMA’s mission to support education and collaboration across the power electronics community, our technical committees develop initiatives for engineers to share practical knowledge. Notably, the PSMA Magnetics Workshop
This decade has seen the restructuring of the global semiconductor supply chain. Market forces such as the race for electric vehicles (EVs) and artificial intelligence (AI) have clashed with geopolitical
The title of this quarter’s column may sound a little obvious and patronizing, but the objective is to dig into what efficiency really means from several dimensions when observed through
Power electronics equipment are complex assemblies. Most of the components we use are off-the-shelf, standard parts: transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, capacitors, resistors, and connectors. For low-volume production power converters or
