Higher power efficiency, density, reliability, and lower volume and cost: How to reach this goals and what solutions are feasible will be discussed again at the 8th CIPS by power electronics experts coming from all over the world.
The conference is organized by VDE ETG and ECPE and technically co-sponsored by the IEEE PELS and ZVEI. The conference papers did undergo a peer review process which allows their storage in the IEEE Xplore digital data base. The Technical Programme Committee has selected 81 papers to be presented; 29 of them will be poster presentations. The best poster as well as the best young engineers presentation will be awarded.
As usual for CIPS there is a frame of 3 Keynotes and 9 Invited Papers given by worldwide leading experts:
