Electric Vehicle Charging Based on Solid-State Circuit Breaker Technology

Presenter:  Binesh Kumar, Atom Power Inc., Charlotte, NC, USA
Date:  Thursday, March 2, 2023, Time 12:00 pm EST 

Abstract: EV Charging infrastructure has become one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption and to meeting global decarbonization goals. There needs to be an overhaul in the approach of EV charging to support wide-scale charging infrastructure and to ensure future scalability, safety, security, and availability needs are met.  In this webinar, we will cover some of the fundamentals of EV Charging and how solid-state circuit breaker technologies can help overcome the challenges associated with it and to provide a scalable EV Charging infrastructure.

Disruptive Technological Developments Needed to Scale Up Zero-Emission Aviation Beyond 2035

Presenter:  Jonas Kristiansen Nøland, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway
Date:  Tuesday, March 28, 2023, Time 9:00 am EDT 

This webinar is sponsored by the IEEE Power Electronics Society Technical Committee on Aerospace Power 

Abstract: The presentation will explore the next wave of disruptive technological developments needed to scale up zero-emission aviation beyond 2035. It will include major breakthroughs needed in terms of reducing the voltage level while increasing system-level power density and overall efficiency. Moreover, the webinar will explain how next-generation H2-powered aircraft could take advantage of onboard cryogenic fuels to cool the electrical components, enabling a cryo-electric superconducting drivetrain that could lead to extraordinary performance.
