PCIM sees itself as a central platform for experts in power electronics from industry and science. Over 600 exhibitors - including 120 new exhibitors from countries such as Japan, France and Italy - will be showcasing developments and technology trends and promoting industry-wide and international exchange.
The accompanying PCIM conference offers a comprehensive program. Prof. Dr. Dushan Boroyevich, Virginia Tech/Virginia Tech's Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES), will give the opening keynote on Tuesday, May 6 (location: Stage Brussels 1, start: 9:45 a.m.) on the topic of 'Medium Voltage Power Electronics Building Blocks for Future Electronic Energy Network' - a topic that should interest many in view of the fluctuating challenges in the energy sector.
The conference sessions offer a total of 450 presentations on topics such as SiC MOSFET, packaging, converter design, monitoring and testing, virtual prototyping, IGBT, semiconductor technologies, passive components and thermal management. We will shortly be presenting a few selected lectures that have aroused our particular interest.
