Symposium: Power Electronics for Energy Transition
By SAL and AIT

Power Electronics is one of the key technologies for the energy transition. Two of Austria’s largest research centers for electronic systems – AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) have joined forces to organize this event as a meeting point for industry and academia in central Europe.
The Power Electronics for Energy Transition Symposium will focus on newest technology for automotive applications (including charging), renewable energy in medium voltage applications and DC grids for industry taking onto account the value chain from components to assembly, system and application. Given the rapid growth of electrification around the world the sustainability of electric components is becoming an important topic and therefore will also be addressed.
Topics
PE in automotive applications
PE in medium voltage applications
Charging
DC Industry
Sustainability & Circular
Economy in PE
