Abstract: Nowadays the working conditions or mission profiles of power electronics are becoming intensive and complicated in various applications. In order to ensure cost-effectiveness with more confidence on the safety and reliability performances, it is important to understand the loading and failure behaviors, as well as the limits of components/systems in practical use. Under this scenario, the recreation of real-field loading and control behaviors for power electronics components/systems, are essential, and thus calling for more advanced testing and monitoring methodologies to investigate the performances. This webinar targets to give updates on the progress of mission profile emulation (MPE) technology in the field of power electronics. The concept, challenges, new applications and future trends related to MPE, will be covered and discussed.
