Due to the environmental concerns about CO2-caused global warming, policymakers are pushing electrified vehicles (EVs) to reduce these emissions. For passenger vehicles only, the electrified fleet is forecasted to reach 80 million in the U.S. and 500 million globally by 2040. Key enablers for such rapid EV adoption include the improvement of battery energy density, lifespan and … [Read more...] about Charging Electric Vehicle Batteries: Wired and Wireless Power Transfer

Microgrid Integration in Smart Low-Voltage Distribution Systems

June 20, 2022 by Ramanuja Panigrahi; Santanu K. Mishra; Suresh C. Srivastava; Prasad Enjeti

Smart low-voltage distribution system (LVDS) is an essential component in realizing smart electricity grids. In countries like India and other energy-deprived regions of the world, researchers are looking for a holistic approach to integrate millions of small Renewable-powered homes in the LVDS and make the system smart. Restructuring the existing distribution system to form … [Read more...] about Microgrid Integration in Smart Low-Voltage Distribution Systems

IEEE Power Electronics Magazine publishes peer-reviewed articles related to power electronics and its applications which encompass the effective use of electronic components, application of control theory and circuit design techniques, and the development of analytical tools used in efficient and effective energy conversion, control, utilization, and conditioning of electric power. The IEEE Power Electronics Magazine is limited to the field of interest of the IEEE Power Electronics Society. Topics also include publication of new trend technologies that are being pursued by industry, design practices and case studies, significant amount of state of the art surveys tutorials, and non-technical contributions: news about society activities, interviews, and historical articles.

Prof. Sidharth Sabyasachi, International Research Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Yeungnam University, South Korea wrote to “White Hot” column author Robert V. White, “Good afternoon, today I read your article “Getting the Most From Your IEEE Membership” published in the March 2022 issue of IEEE Power Electronics Magazine. It is a very informative and encouraging article and I am feeling proud of being an IEEE and PELS member. Thanks a lot again and I hope one day I will meet in person.”

APEC Organizers, Vendors
Take Virtual Route to Reveal Latest Trends in Power Technologies and Products

A cancelled conference taps alternate methods to disseminate cutting-edge information

With the growing concerns of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, the IEEE Power Electronics Society/Industrial Applications Society (PELS/IAS) and Power Supply Manufacturers Association-sponsored 2020 Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC 2020) in New Orleans, Louisiana, was cancelled for the safety of the attendees. While it was a difficult decision, the health, safety, and welfare of the community was paramount for the organizers and sponsors of the 15–19 March 2020 conference. Although this was the first such cancellation in APEC’s 35-year history, the organizers were quick to offer a virtual conference to those registered. In addition, peer-reviewed papers accepted by the conference committee were submitted to IEEE Xplore and are available to all.

Despite the challenges and adversities of COVID-19, the organizers worked diligently to virtually bring the conference and its presentations to the registered community via the APEC 2020 app and the eventScribe web portal. As a result, I was given a password (access key) to access the site and view a variety of the sessions. Before I go through the conference papers and sessions, I would like to take the opportunity to mention the vendors who promptly called IEEE Power Electronics Magazine and presented the latest trends in technologies and products online. The unbelievable situation created by the COVID-19 outbreak did not deter the vendors and emerging companies from taking their latest advances and developments to editors and reporters via phone and virtual meetings and booths. As a result, I was lucky to talk to a variety of power semiconductor companies, passive component suppliers, and power electronics experts, including marketing analysts, and gather the latest advances in power electronics technology.
