Keynote: Trends and Challenges of Future Oriented Power Converters
Presented by Prof. KUROKAWA, Fujio
In the society of Society 5.0 based on IoT and AI technology, the increase in power consumption along with the increase in data volume of information communication has become a big problem. Therefore, smart cities that use energy management technology such as VPP and ERAB that incorporate solar cells and EV batteries are attracting attention. Here, the development of model-based design and digital twin technology is required, and further, it is necessary to devise to use renewable energy that is not stable. In the future power system, the EV battery is included, so the charge / discharge device is also important. I will explain the research trends and challenges of future-oriented power supply system that controls and develops these multiple complex elements well.
14:00 to 14:15
Tea Break
14:15 to 15:00
Workshop: Avoiding common AC-DC design pitfalls
Presented by Applications Engineering
Design-in of AC-DC front end modules can be complicated. This session will provide a straightforward approach for success, covering such topics as source impedance considerations, inrush current, filter resonance and damping, PFC, faults, fusing, system stability and safety.
15:15 to 15:45
Workshop: EMI challenges and troubleshooting techniques
Presented by Applications Engineering
Without proper consideration, EMI can derail projects and create costly delays. With a real-world troubleshooting example, you will learn about basic EMI measurement, common and differential noise sources and identification methods, conducted EMI pre-compliance testing, layout issues, etc.
15:45 to 16:00
Tea Break
16:00 to 16:45
Workshop: Modular DC-DC system design done right
Presented by Applications Engineering
Real-world systems comprise more than just the DC-DC converter itself. Using a case study to examine the requirements of module integration into a DC-DC system, you will learn topics such as input and output filtering, protections, compatibility with the source and load dynamics.
16:45 to 17:30
Workshop: High-performance PCB layout and thermal design techniques
Presented by Applications Engineering
Our experts will share their optimization techniques addressing the following topics: applying thermal models and simulation, PCB layout for effective thermal management, power/signal routing and integrity in high density, high current applications to minimize board losses and maximize performance.
17:30 to 17:45
