Over the past years technological advances took place in fields such as design automation, artificial intelligence/machine learning and cyber security. By these developments new design methodologies in the field of power electronics became conceivable, especially in the case of power electronic components (magnetics and semiconductor devices) and power electronics systems. Starting with a few scientific papers new design methodologies for power electronics became a focal point. The power electronic society facilitated the ideas for new design methodologies by hosting several initiatives such as Design Automation for Power Electronics Workshop (DAPE), focusing on design automation, and employment of artificial intelligence/machine learning and cyber physical security in the power electronics applications.
In order to reach a wider audience and draw attention to new design methodologies, the three mentioned initiatives have joined forces to create the IEEE Design Methodologies conference (DMC), that will be held for the third time on September 24th – 26th, 2023 in the city of Miami, USA. It is expected that this new conference will open a possibility for power electronics designers to start applying the advanced design and analysis concepts in order to reach a high performance designs. IEEE DMC will be a great opportunity to learn new methodologies and exchange ideas in this emerging field and pave the way for future actions that will enhance the design process.
In order to approach the ideas of the IEEE DMC to the wider audience, encourage their participation and inspire them to perform the research in this area, a series of web seminars will be offered by PELS. Each month a different topic from the field of the advanced design methodologies will be covered, until we meet at the DMC 2023.
