8 PCIM PREVIEW Issue 2 2024 Power Electronics Europe www.power-mag.com PCIM, powering up for record event in June 2024 The PCIM Europe, the leading international exhibition and conference for power electronics will once again be a hotspot for the industry, showcasing numerous innovations, trends and developments from 11 – 13 June 2024. With over 600 exhibitors and around 500 presentations, the exhibition and conference are due to set new records. This year, visitors to the exhibition can expect an even more extensive range of products along the entire power electronics value chain. For the first time, more than 600 exhibitors will be presenting their products in four exhibition halls, one more than in 2023, and on an area of over 38,000 m?. Of these, 60% are international and represent a total of 33 countries. Among those present are industry leaders such as Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) Corporation, Fuji Electric Europe, Infineon Technologies, Mitsubishi Electric Europe, onsemi, SEMIKRON Danfoss, ROHM Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, Volkswagen and Wolfspeed. The exhibition will once again feature numerous new exhibitors: China, Germany, Taiwan and the USA occupy the top for places. The accompanying conference offers a diverse program with over 500 presentations. First-class speakers will present their findings from a wide range of research areas in this dynamic sector, giving participants the opportunity to find out about the latest innovations and make valuable contacts. Stage program as a trend barometer The program of the four Stages focuses on the latest products, developments and trends in the industry and will feature cutting-edge specialist presentations. In hall 5, visitors can look forward to the new Smart Power System Integration Stage with innovative solutions and application examples for the challenges in power electronics production – from Smart Power Embedding to Integrated Smart Power Circuits. The Technology Stage awaits interested parties with scientific presentations and panel discussions from leading research and development departments in the industry. The agenda includes highlights such as the topics “Will SiC Ultimately Hold its Own against GaN?” and “GaN Wide Bandgap, The Future of Power” as well as the session “Technical Working Groups’ Updates: IEC, PECTA, IEEE, CIGRE”. The latest product innovations and solutions from exhibiting companies, including onsemi and Nexperia, will be highlighted on the Exhibitor Stage. The presentations on the E-Mobility & Energy Storage Stage will shed light on current and future developments in power electronics for electromobility and energy storage. In addition to the exciting lecture program, a networking area invites visitors to engage in intensive discussions. Interested parties can also find out more in live product demos at the exhibition stands. At 10.00am on Thursday 13th June Dr Denis Marcon, General Manager Europe, Innoscience, will address the audience from the Tech Stage (Hall 7-743), on how GaN power devices are revolutionizing the power semiconductor sector. In his talk, ‘GaN power HEMTs: reliable, pricecompetitive and ready to enhance power conversion solutions,’ Dr Marcon will destroy the myths concerning GaN’s price and reliability; he will showcase how to take advance of GaN power devices to make power management systems smaller, more efficient and cheaper. He will show that by leveraging economies of scale and 8-inch wafers, Innoscience is providing price-competitive GaN power devices. On booth 7-121, Innoscience will showcase its portfolio covering 30V to 700V rated GaN power devices, including discrete (InnoGaN), integrated with driver and protection (SolidGaN), and bi-directional (V-GaN) devices as well as GaN gate drivers. Innoscience’s booth will also feature several demos that showcase the advances made possible with GaN technology, making power conversion and power management solutions ‘Faster, Smaller & Lighter, Greener / More Efficient & Cheaper.’ Demos will include: 200W LED GaN driver that is 50% smaller and thinner than its silicon counterpart 140W-200W All GaN AC-DC power converter that features InnoGaN at the primary and at the secondary side 1kW inverter for BLDC motors 4.2kW PSU that are 50% smaller and more PCIM 2024: Innoscience to show that GaN devices are price-comparative with silicon, very reliable and available as discrete, integrated and bi-directional devices
