We hear so much about AI these days, we are getting trained (like large language models or LLMs) to believe we cannot perform the most basic functions without it. Luckily,
Awards are an important form of recognition. The recognition program through awards in the field of power electronics predates the formation of the Power Electronics Council in 1983. For example,
With great sadness, we lost a leader, a long-time friend, and a dear colleague in our Power Electronics Community, Dr. Zhengming Zhao, a professor at Tsinghua University, China, on 3
An electromagnetic actuator driven by a power electronics converter is a mature technology in industry. However, it faces reliability issues due to the failure of power electronics devices in the
Proper thermal modeling is essential for managing heat flow in power electronic devices ensuring optimal efficiency and reliability. Chainlike networks of the Cauer and Foster types provide a simple yet
The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly growing in the power electronics (PE) industry. This recent surge in growth in AI underscores the industry’s shift towards application-driven innovation. Unlike
From switched-mode power supplies to traction inverters in electric vehicles to photovoltaics and wind power, wide-bandgap semiconductors are being considered for all modern designs. In addition, more and more areas
Muhammad H. Rashid, Ph.D., is an IEEE Life Fellow, a long-time member, and an active member of IEEE’s Power Electronics Society (PELS), Industrial Applications Society (IAS), Power & Energy Society
It is truly a major privilege and honor to be given the humbling opportunity to share thoughts and experiences with the power electronics community in a regular feature like this.
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
