DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) for an informal 
 technical discussion with Dr. Bowen Yang on emerging power architectures f
 or AI data centers.\n\nDinner will be provided\, along with time for netwo
 rking with local engineers and professionals.\n\nAs demand for AI computin
 g continues to grow\, data centers are exploring new approaches to power d
 istribution—particularly the transition from medium-voltage (MV) systems
  to low-voltage DC (LVDC) buses such as 800V DC. Solid-state transformers 
 (SSTs) are one of the technologies being considered to enable this shift.\
 n\nThis session will be an open\, high-level conversation rather than a fo
 rmal presentation. Topics may include:\n\n- The role of SSTs in future dat
 a center power architectures\n- Considerations when moving from MV systems
  to 800V DC distribution\n- Reliability and controllability in power-elect
 ronics-based systems\n- Practical challenges\, tradeoffs\, and industry pe
 rspectives\n\nAttendees are encouraged to ask questions\, share experience
 s\, and engage in the discussion.\n\nSchedule\n5:30 PM – Check-in\, Chap
