Increasing demands on accuracy, dynamic response and temperature range together with the trend towards reduced mounting space, system integration and cost pressure move sensor components more and more into the focus of interest of power electronics system engineers.

A special challenge are current and position sensors. The seminar provides a comprehensive overview on the state-of-the-art and on innovative new techno­logies. Cross functional aspects cover high operation temperature, accuracy and reliability of sensors.

The goal of the seminar is to offer high level education and expert discussions. The content is well balanced between basics and application oriented case studies.

All speakers are well-known specialists from industry and research institutes with a long pertinent experience. The seminar will start with an extended presentation from Dr. R.D. Lorenz (University of Wisconsin-Madison/Center for Power Electronics Systems, USA) on sensors in power electronic systems.

Dr. Martin März (Fraunhofer-IISB in Erlangen/Nurem­berg) will chair the seminar together with Mr. Thomas Harder (ECPE).

All presentations and discussions will be in English.
