TIANJIN, China, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Power.com, a leading media and innovation service platform serving the entire power electronics industry, announced that the 2024 Power Network International Power Electronics Live Festival officially opened today, April 17, 2024. The ultra-long live broadcast sharing season from April to November will bring a technical feast with rich content and diverse themes to practitioners in the power electronics industry.
Since its launch in 2019, the International Power Electronics Live Festival (hereinafter referred to as the Live Festival), which has been held for six consecutive years, has received great attention and recognition from the majority of engineers and friends, and enjoys a high reputation and popularity in the industry. This year's live broadcast festival has been upgraded to five theme venues: "wide bandgap semiconductor", "new energy and optical storage and charging technology", "automotive electronics and functional safety", "industrial control automation", "motor drive and industrial control" in combination with the current hot technologies and applications. In 2024, we will continue to pay attention to important topics in the key areas of the power electronics industry, share high-quality technical courses, and invite peers to witness the development trend of the global power electronics industry.
2024 The 6th International Power Electronics Live Festival
In response to the urgent need of engineers to effectively improve the technical level, the power network adopts the method of online live broadcast festival and offline professional summit, and cooperates with upstream and downstream partners to provide more diversified learning options. Both online and in-person meetings are free of charge. The power supply network hopes to resonate with the needs of Chinese engineers at the same frequency and inject new vitality into the development of the new power electronics industry.
In terms of theme design, the power network promotes industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, accelerates new industrialization, and accelerates the promotion of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance by creating a theme associated with the current national development strategy. At the same time, it creates an immersive learning experience through interactive discussions, cultivates cooperative learning habits, and promotes talent exchange. In terms of the optimization and upgrading of the brand portfolio, focusing on the concept of practical power electronic technology, professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and other universities, as well as technical experts from Transphorm, STMicroelectronics, and Ruineng Semiconductor are invited to work together to deepen the combination of production, education, research and application.

The five themes have been renewed and upgraded, redefining the industry live broadcast festivalIn the field of high-frequency and high-voltage applications, the irreplaceable advantages of gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) have accelerated the development and application of related products, and the progress of preparation technology has also made the cost of GaN and SiC devices and modules acceptable, and the demand pull superimposed cost has been reduced, and the era of wide bandgap semiconductors is coming. It is reported that GaN and SiC semiconductors are now in mass production and rapidly expanding their market share. By the end of 2027, GaN and SiC devices will account for 30% of the power semiconductor market, which in turn will replace silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs, according to market research firm Yole.
On April 17, the 6th live broadcast festival launched the "wide bandgap semiconductor live broadcast festival" with the innovative model of "industry-university-research integration", positioning technology and practicality, focusing on keywords such as nitride, silicon carbide, electric vehicles, photovoltaics, motor drives, etc., focusing on technologies native to China, building a technology exchange platform at home and abroad, creating a high-quality online learning position for power electronic engineers through theme reshaping and brand upgrading, and promoting the continuous "growth" of the technical strength of the domestic industry.
It has become a global consensus to build a new power system with new energy as the main body. With the increasing proportion of new energy sources such as wind and solar energy in the mainland's energy system, energy storage technology and industry have also developed rapidly. Global energy storage demand is expected to reach 288GWh in 2025, with a CAGR of 53% from 2021 to 2025. While ushering in a new round of reform in the field of power system, it has also promoted the further development of related technical fields such as microinverters, battery and BMS management systems, and overcharging and fast charging technologies. As the hallmarks of the era of automotive intelligence, intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving are booming with the wave of vehicle electrification. The intelligent car is composed of two intelligent systems, the cockpit and the chassis, as the core. The integration of intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving and related technologies will promote the further upgrading and transformation of automotive technology, thereby greatly improving the driving safety and comfort of drivers.
In order to realize the vision of Industry 4.0, drones and robotics in industrial control automation are developing rapidly and are now an indispensable part of modern industry and transportation. With the development of communication technology, motor control tends to be simple and intelligent, and PLC, FPGA, DSP and these technologies are increasingly integrated into the motor industry chain. New stepper motor technology is being adopted in more application scenarios, and the cost is gradually decreasing. The digital control technology realizes the improvement of the accuracy and reliability of motor drive and control through the use of advanced control algorithms and high-performance controllers. For industrial applications, motion control refers not only to the motion generated by rotating electrical machines, but also to the use of some form of actuation to precisely control the position, speed, acceleration and braking technology of equipment components. Yole believes that by 2027, the global electric motor market will exceed $13 billion due to major technological innovations and supply chain restructuring.
Watch the exciting activities again and again, collect power values to win good prizesIn the eight-month ultra-long live broadcast sharing season, in addition to professional technology sharing, the power network also launched a variety of "collect power value to win gifts" welfare activities, broadcasting a large number of physical gifts, Jingdong electronic cards and WeChat red envelopes. The majority of engineers can obtain power value through more channels such as daily check-in, newcomer recommendation, etc. You can get a fixed amount of power by completing daily tasks, and you can also get a large amount of power by completing designated tasks such as sharing activities on the Electronic Planet APP, registering for the live festival with one click, booking a single live broadcast, sharing the live broadcast room during the live broadcast, and participating in questions and interactions. Newcomers who participate in the live festival for the first time can also enjoy exclusive benefits for newcomers. Use the power value to directly redeem colorful gifts.
The power network will take out millions of traffic and bonuses and other resources to promote the development of the live broadcast festival and increase communication and learning opportunities in the field for the majority of engineers. Link to the "Collect Power to Win Prizes" Event:
