7th Symposium of the Center of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE)

#Aalborg #University #CORPE #Power #Electronics #Reliability

Aalborg University's Centre of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE) is proud to invite professionals, scholars, experts, and those who in general are interested in the reliability of power electronics to the 7th Annual Symposium on June 13, 2019, in Aalborg, Denmark.

Several international recognized speakers from industry and academia will present their views on challenges in power electronics reliability. Afterward, presentations about the research findings and achievements from CORPE will take place, together with a discussion on the strategic roadmap. A poster session with researchers within CORPE will also be held. 

The symposium is free of charge (while if no show after registration, a fee will be applied). Registration (here) for the event by May 31, 2019.

We look forward to seeing you in Aalborg. This symposium is co-organized by the IEEE Denmark Section. 

Frede Blaabjerg, Professor, Director of the Center of Reliable Power Electronics
Yongheng Yang, Associate Professor, Chair of the IEEE Denmark Section

About CORPE: 

The Centre of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE) at Aalborg University, Denmark, inaugurated in 2012, aims to design more reliable and more efficient power electronic systems for power generation, distribution and consumption. The centre strives to better understand how the reliability of power electronic devices and systems is influenced by stress factors such as temperature, overvoltage and current, humidity and other environmental factors.
The centre was established in close collaboration with major Danish power electronic companies, Aarhus University, and two leading European universities. The centre develops device and system models enabling design of power electronic systems at predicted reliability. The knowledge is also used for online monitoring to predict remaining useful lifetime and to enable smart failure control strategies. A number of advanced test systems are available in CORPE. More than 30 researchers are active (around 15 PhD’s). The centre is supported by the Danish Strategic Research Council and the Obel Foundation.
