Smart Efficiencies Enable the Internet of Everything
In the next 10–15 years, power electronics will enable the Internet of Everything (IoE) to reach a trillion sensor economy. To achieve this high volume will require focus on data and system energy trade-off within a functional framework of Sense, Think (Compute), Act, and Communicate. The IoE session of the IEEE Future of Electronic Power Processing and Conversion (FEPPCON) XI … [Read more...] about Smart Efficiencies Enable the Internet of Everything
AI/ML and Cybersecurity in Power Electronics
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) have been applied to power electronics and electric drives research for more than 20 years for design, control, estimation, and prediction. With the recent interest in AI/ML for all aspects of smart and connected daily life, the interest in AI/ML applications of power electronics has also increased. With the increase in the … [Read more...] about AI/ML and Cybersecurity in Power Electronics
