On occasion, I like to return to first principles to remind myself—and all of you readers—why Empower a Billion Lives (EBL) was created in the first place and why this
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads has fundamentally transformed the landscape of data center power infrastructure [1], [2]. Contemporary AI training clusters for Large Language Models (LLMs), such
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
Without immediate and decisive action, global temperatures will likely increase to levels that severely degrade living conditions for humans, animals, and plants on our planet [1]. There is thus a
The electrification of critical infrastructure demands power electronics systems with unprecedented resilience, reliability, and self-healing capabilities. Drawing inspiration from biological systems such as the human body’s self-repair mechanisms and collective
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not just a future trend; it is a current disruptor transforming how power is generated, delivered, and used. In power electronics, AI’s impact accelerates innovation while
Interest in artificial intelligence (AI) within the power electronics community has surged in recent years. A search across the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) portfolio, including IEEE Journal of Emerging
In this column, I will be talking mainly to young power electronics engineers who will soon be graduating or have recently graduated. The need to decarbonize and electrify the world’s
In the global power system of 2050, we will need around four times the power generation capacity and the ability to transfer up to three times as much electrical energy
Power systems worldwide are going through a paradigm change from centralized generation to distributed generation, for which control and power electronics are two key enabling technologies. However, it has been
