PSMA/PELS Sponsors Virtual Capacitors in Power Electronics Workshop

"Design Techniques for the 21st Century – Behind the Scenes, Make Sure You Choose & Use the Correct Capacitor" workshop scheduled to take place June 29 & 30.

The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (IEEE PELS) are jointly sponsoring a 2 day virtual workshop titled, "Design Techniques for the 21st Century – Behind the Scenes, Make Sure You Choose & Use the Correct Capacitor." The workshop will be conducted virtually June 29 & 30.

The 2021 Capacitor Workshop is the fourth in the series of workshops scheduled in conjunction with APEC and is being recognized as the leading event for discussing the emerging technologies and applications for capacitors required for next generation power electronics and control systems. Each year the workshop has generated a growing interest and we are using the valuable feedback from past attendees to guide us in planning this year's sessions. Since two-thirds of the passive components used in next generation power and control products are capacitors, we continue our efforts to educate and inform the industry about the latest news and developments of the Capacitor Industry. The 2021 Capacitor Workshop will highlight the evolving capacitor technologies and focus on the characteristics and considerations in the use of capacitors in rapidly evolving market applications.

The 2021 Capacitor Workshop will concentrate on evolving and challenging Automotive and eMobility applications. These include design of power supplies, filter and driver. The workshop will also address the environmental influences to be considered in the choice of capacitor technologies.  Finally, the workshop will address the differences between simulation and reality.

Are you interested in learning more about the high temperature capabilities of EDLC Super-Capacitors, high voltage hybrid Aluminium Polymers?  Have you asked yourself, what is the difference between the result of the simulation you did and the first measurements of your prototypes? How will a capacitors' lifetime differ when environmental conditions change? All of these and many more questions are targeted to be answered during the workshop.

The 2021 Capacitor Workshop will provide an optimal balance between theoretical and practical information, featuring invited keynote presentations from leading industry players as well as presentations on the advances in capacitor research and development together with demonstrations of the latest technologies. In addition, there will be panel sessions of the presenters to address questions and expand on the information presented.  If you have any specific areas or issues that you would like included, please email Pierre Lohrber of the Workshop Organizing Committee at pierre.lohrber@we-online.de.

The early registration fee for the workshop is $225 per participant reducing to $165 for students and members of PSMA and IEEE PELS. On May 1, the registration fee will increase to $255, reduced to $195 for students and members.

Attendees of the "Design Techniques for the 21st Century – Behind the Scenes, Make Sure You Choose & Use the Correct Capacitor" workshop will also be able to attend the "Power Magnetics @ High Frequency" workshop at no additional cost.  You can learn more about the Power Magnetics @ High Frequency Workshop at https://www.psma.com/technical-forums/magnetics/workshop

Registration includes attendance at the live workshop sessions as well as access to all of the workshop materials and session recordings. 

The workshop's partner, Cornell Dubilier, has generously sponsored three student registration fee waivers that helps to bolster participation of students with the power electronics industry.

The latest information on the agenda as well as registration information for the workshop is available on the PSMA website at: http://www.psma.com/technical-forums/capacitor/workshop
