In electric drivetrain architectures, including xEV and electrified aircraft applications, a boost dc-dc converter is often utilized to interface a battery system to variable-speed ac drives, thus enabling the system operation at increased dc bus voltages. It has been shown how wide bandgap SiC devices lead to improvements in efficiency and reductions in the size of magnetic components in standard boost converter realizations. We then show how further improvements can be achieved using composite architectures where stresses and losses on…

(was originally scheduled for May 12th) The electronics packaging industry has shifted away from the monolithic systems that were prevalent in the IT-dominated space, to the consumer-focused realm where compute has become pervasive. This results in more complex supply chain dynamics. Key factors for this shift include product/application complexity as well as global complexity; geographical and political diversity; supply chain disruptions (e.g., pandemics, raw material shortages, climate change, etc); and supply chain development (e.g., development and support for new materials).…

NEC 690 Presentation Overview NEC Article 690 covers the requirements of the engineering and construction of solar photovoltaic systems. In just a few iterations of the NEC, Article 690 has transformed considerably. Essential calculations, including module open circuit voltage and short circuit current have evolved and bifacial modules have enhanced the need for refined calculations. This presentation will address these topics along with an understanding of the risk associated with different interpretations and calculation methodologies. ====== Code requirements for the…

Advanced Radio-Emission Spectroscopy for Nuclear Forensics Presented by Brian Archambault and Bruce Pierson Room: Current Room (118), Bldg: PNNL 3820 Building, Richland, Washington, United States, 99354, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/315328

Please register (free) to attend: https://r6.ieee.org/scv-cs/?p=2062 The word ‘meta’ indicates something beyond, a level up, or a higher layer. Meta-algorithms in Machine learning work on top of the known classification and regression algorithms such as Decision Trees, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machines to improve the performance substantially. It is often observed that these algorithms fetch top positions in the competition leaderboards and are now commonly used in the industry as well. This talk will cover some of the popular…

An overview of Bluetooth Special Interest Group, including its history, membership structure, major programs such as specification development and product qualification, groups and committees, technology focus areas, and processes.

Transactive energy was originally proposed as an alternative to the traditional optimal control-based mechanisms for balancing supply and demand in the grid. The proposal was based on a grid architecture scenario where the grid becomes more and more decentralized, with hundreds of thousands of DERs and millions of flexible loads, making the solution of the optimal control problem increasingly intractable. Market-mechanisms such as transactive energy have been successful in many areas in balancing supply and demand, and market-mechanisms have been…
