The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) Transportation Power Electronics Committee is sponsoring an Industry Session at APEC 2015 titled, “Transportation Power Electronics: Vehicles, Chargers, Components and Markets.” The session will take place on Tuesday morning, March 17, 2015, at the Charlotte Convention Center, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Featured are seven invited experts from industry and from government research laboratories who will provide attendees with insights into issues related to transportation power electronics that are necessary to meet the cost and performance needs of electric drive vehicles.
The increasing transportation power electronics content not only on automobiles, but also on aircraft and industrial vehicles, represent a large growing market for our industry. Presenters from EPRI, Argonne National Labs, Penn State University, Ford, John Deere, Yole Developpement, Department of Energy and Synthesis Partners will focus on the new and evolving technologies shaping the transportation market. The agenda for this session can be found at: http://www.apec-conf.org/industry-sessions-2015/.
PSMA Transportation Power Electronics Committee co-chairs Ralph Taylor, Delphi, and Dr. Yunqi Zheng issued this joint statement: “Electric drive vehicles result in demanding requirements for designers of power electronics and for the component technologies that enable them. The component technologies essential to success in the electric drive vehicle market are also key to other demanding markets dealing with harsh environments and increasing power electronics content, including aerospace and military applications. This Industry Session provides an opportunity for attendees to interact with other professionals who are active in this area and to learn about innovative technologies key to successfully penetrating this market. We encourage people to register for APEC 2015 and make plans to attend this Industry Session and to consider participating in the other PSMA sponsored meetings during the week.”
