Catedra EMC WE-UV participates in the PCIM 2019 of Nuremberg
This week (from May 7 to May 9) has taken place the PCIM 2019 in Nuremberg (Germany), the world’s leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy, and energy management. PCIM (Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion) is the place where representatives from the fields of research and industry come together, where trends and developments are presented to the public for the first time, and where the entire value chain is covered – all the way from components to intelligent systems.
This year’s exhibition showcases the megatrends currently defining the practice of power electronics, including: wide bandgap (WGB) semiconductors, reliability/robustness validation, future smart power grids, renewable energies, electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) and energy efficiency. With regard to this last topic, Sebastian Mirasol, Product Manager of Würth Elektronik eiSos and former student of the Catedra EMC WE-UV has presented a contribution titled “Combined Solutions for Thermal Management and Electromagnetic Shielding”. This job has been carried out between the Shielding Team of Würth Elektronik and the Catedra EMC Researchers.
This presentation was focused on Thermal Management and Electromagnetic Interferences (EMI) Shielding since these are two important topics that need to be taken into account in the design process of an electronic device, although sometimes it is necessary to find a common ground for them. The article describes some situations where thermal management and EMI shielding are both involved.
