This webinar series is designed to bring together industry experts and engineers to explore the latest advancements in power electronics. Throughout the day, we will delve into cutting-edge technologies, innovative solutions, and practical applications that are shaping the future of electronics. Join us for a series of insightful sessions, live Q&As, and interactive discussions that will equip you with the knowledge and tools to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving world of power electronics.
Wide bandgap semiconductor application testing, translating tests to operational reliability
Wide Bandgap semiconductors such as Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride-based power electronics are becoming commercially available across a large spectrum of voltages and current levels. However many customers still are reluctant to move their application designs towards utilizing the capabilities of these new devices.
In this Webinar we will show you how parametric testing and reliability investigations of these devices are done at onsemi and the importance of these tests for applications.
Silicon Carbide devices and suitable gate drivers for industrial applications
In this session you will learn about the latest Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices from ST, as well as a short term technology roadmap.
In addition, some particularities of ST SiC MOSFETs will be discussed, including recommended gate driver device and circuitry, for optimal operation. Finally, Electrical Vehicle (EV) Chargers, one of the focus applications for SiC devices, will be presented in detail.

Episode 57: Optimising Power Efficiency with IoT
With rising energy costs and a greater push toward sustainability, industries are increasingly turning to IoT solutions to optimise energy consumption and reduce waste. IoT is not only about smart devices but also about gathering data to make smarter decisions that drive both efficiency and sustainability.
We explore the impact of IoT on energy efficiency and sustainability with Andy Richardson, VP of business development at Salom Europe. And delve into how data collected through IoT-enabled power supplies can lead to significant CO2 emissions savings, equivalent to saving thousands of trees. Our discussion highlights the necessity of understanding power usage profiles for accurate emissions reporting and legislation compliance and the broader implications for businesses aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030. Andy shares insight into Salom's strategies and how companies can leverage IoT to drive new business models and make informed decisions.
Episode 37: Unleashing the Power of Wind Energy
Hold on to your hats: In today’s episode, we discuss one of the fastest-growing renewable power sources: wind energy. Did you know that a single wind turbine has the potential to generate enough electricity to power 1,400 homes?
In this episode, we welcome Barry Thompson, CEO of Alpha 311.
We'll unpack how cutting-edge technologies and ingenious strategies are evolving in this sector, emphasizing the impact of IoT in enhancing turbine efficiency. Our discussion will also cover the ecological benefits of wind power and a forward-looking perspective on this form of renewable energy.
Episode 32: Revving Up for a Greener Future: EV Charging and V2G Technology
As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, and the need for efficient and reliable charging infrastructure is growing Vehicle-to-grid Technology offers a solution that not only meets the energy needs but also benefits the electrical grid and helps reduce carbon emissions.
It also opens new business opportunities. So, let's dive into the exciting world of electric vehicle charging and see how it's shaping our future. Our guest this week: Henri Trintignac, CEO of Gulplug.
Episode 23: The Future of EV Charging
Electric vehicles or EVs are cool, but there are still twists in the road to market maturity. From accessibility and standardization issues to a lack of convenient and secure payment methods at charging stations, these could still throw a spoke in the wheel of electromobility. We are joined by Thomas Wagner of in-tech GmbH, a pioneer smart charging company based in Leipzig, and Thomas Foj, Director Vertical Market EMEA at Avnet Silica, to talk about the future of EV Charging.
