DAPE Workshop at EPE in Genoa, Italy - Sept 6, 2019
IEEE PELS is holding it's second workshop for Design Automation for Power Electronics (DAPE). Started by Alan Mantooth and Miroslav Vasic, this workshop brings together experts to discuss the current and future direction of design automation for developing power electronics based systems. I was fortunate enough to participate last year when it was held during ECCE 2018. Alan and Miroslav did a great job to arrange the all-day session that covered trends and needs in power electronics in the Automotive and Aerospace industries. You can read an article about the workshop published in IEEE PELS magazine. You'll need to log in with your IEEE membership credentials.
It's an exciting time in power electronics with the expansion of electric vehicles, renewable energy, and general drive towards more efficient generation, delivery, and consumption of electricity. Power electronics makes all of this possible. Software is evolving to keep up with this boom to make it easier to develop power electronics-based systems.
