Programme of the 3rd Three Corners Power Electronics Extended Collaboration (3C-PEEC) Workshop of NPERC-J (JP), CPES (US) and ECPE (EU).
The ECPE Workshop is held in conjunction with ECCE Europe 2024 Conference (see www.ecce-europe.org).

In 2021, leaders of the world agreed in the United Nations Climate Change Conference to reduce human emissions of greenhouse gases to net-zero by 2050.
Sustainable energy supply which does not rely on burning fossil fuels is one of the key demands of our times leading to the vision of an All-Electric Society. It is commonly accepted that power electronics helps to convert our world into a greener version of itself, be it in renewable energy utilisation, in electric vehicles or in more efficient variable speed drives.
In the 1st session, concepts for energy supply in Europe, Japan, US and China will be presented, with the status quo and solution paths for CO2 reduction. The 2nd session will highlight the key role of power semiconductors presenting results from the IEC White Paper ´Power Semiconductors for an Energy Wise Society´. The Sustainability Session will go one step further, considering not only the realised energy or CO2 emission savings during its useful life, but also the environmental burden accrued during manufacturing of a converter, e.g. the climate impact by CO2eq emissions up to the disposal at the converter’s end-of-life.
The Future Grids Session will address key topics where power electronics can support or enable a sustainable power supply, incl. the control and stability of future grids which will mainly rely on fluctuating renewables and grid-connected energy storage. Finally, the role of digitalisation will be discussed with the Digital Twin concept, Condition & Health Monitoring and Demand-Side-Management.

All presentations and discussions will be in English language.
