Women in Power – IEEE Power in Energy Society Award Nominations
The IEEE PES Women in Power Committee is created to foster a more diverse leadership by supporting career advancement, networking and education of women in the electric power and energy industry. One important way this mission is supported is through the formal recognition of a worthy female member of this community. The IEEE PES Wanda […]
Long Island IEEE section to host power electronics exposition
The IEEE section in Long Island, N.Y. will host the first-ever power electronics symposium to be held in that area on Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017. Organizers say they plan on having at least four technical lectures and expect to host 25 to 50 exhibitors and over 200 attendees. Organizers expect a good turn-out because the […]
Choppy waveforms confuse electronic energy meters
Some electronic power meters as used by utilities can give readings that are more than five times higher than actual energy consumption when the measured waveform is nonsinusoidal. So say researchers at the University of Twente (UT) in the Netherlands who collaborated with the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) to measure the accuracy of […]
Free webinar covers GaN transistor and IC Chip-scale packaging
Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) experts on the design and use of gallium nitride transistors will conduct a one-hour webinar sponsored by the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) on November 3rd from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (EDT). GaN transistors and integrated circuits are significantly faster and smaller than their silicon ancestors. This has enabled […]
