ince 2015, PSMA has collaborated with our friends in the China Power Supply Society (CPSS) to create innovative, 'hot-topic', power technology workshops. The "Joint Workshop on Power Supply Technology Innovation" promotes exchanges and cooperation between worldwide enterprises & academia; facilitates communication and discussion on the trend of power supply industry according to the present development of the industry of China and the US. There will be several presentations from both PSMA and CPSS and each presentation is followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. The workshops conclude with a networking social.

In 2021 the workshop will again be part of the CPSS Conference. The conference will be in Shanghai, November 12th-15th. The CPSS conference committee expects over 1,600 attendees, 500 technical papers and a large exhibition hall.

The workshop provides great exposure and networking opportunities to reach Chinese markets, customers and academics, and also acts to advertise benefits of membership in the PSMA. Previous PSMA participants / contributors include Conor Quinn, Dhaval Dalal, David Chen, Ernie Parker, Aung Tu, Eric Persson, Mike Hayes and Stephen Oliver.

From the 2018 workshop, Stephen Oliver, prior Chairman of PSMA and Prof. Dehong Xu, President of CPSS.

Prior 'hot topic' presentations covered IoT, technology roadmaps, energy harvesting, mobile fast charging, gallium nitride (GaN), data center power, etc., with more information below:

• 2015 report
• 2017 papers and report
• 2018 papers
• 2019 Call for Papers and papers

Details:

• Format: Powerpoint, using the PSMA slide template.
• There will be 3 PSMA and 3 CPSS papers (alternated). Each presentation will be 15 mins (15-20 slides) followed by 5 mins Q&A.
• Language: English
• Topics: - we are open for suggestions. Presentations should be from an industry perspective (not a company sales promotion). While the conference is 'in-person', the format allows flexibility so that a presentation prepared in the US / Europe can be presented locally in Shanghai by a PSMA representative
