L
ast September, during the eighth International
Workshop on the Future of Electronic Power Processing and Conversion (FEPPCON VIII 2015),
more than 50 power electronics experts from
around the world gathered at the Grand Hotel
Majestic in scenic Lago Maggorie, Verbania, Italy, to jointly
predict the evolution of power electronics in the next tenplus years. The aim was to identify technological opportunities and obstacles for applications of power electronics in
generation, storage, transmission, distribution, and conversion of electric energy, while concurrently looking for new
directions for future research and development.

In recent years, the electric grid and transportation
systems have greatly benefitted from advances in power
electronics based components, which has brought us to the
point where smart grids and electrical transportation have
become a reality, says Prof. Braham Ferreira of Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) president and cochair of FEPPCON
VIII. Although power electronics has made new system features possible while concurrently creating opportunities
for the components industry, it has also created problems
that are at the center of this evolution. Hence, the need for
a workshop to better understand power electronics in systems, adds Prof. Ferreira.
