Description

The course will be the latest research outcomes of the Center of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE). Since 2013, more than 250 participants from universities and companies have been trained in this 3-day course. By considering the feedbacks from participants and newly obtained research results from CORPE in the last few years, the 2023 version of the course will be 4 days focusing on failure mechanisms and degradation models of active power devices and capacitors, system-level reliability assessment and design tools, and reliability testing methods.

The course will have the following five main parts: 

• Introduction to modern reliability and robustness approach 
• Reliability testing methods and testing data analysis
• Long-term wear out and single-event abnormal operation of active power modules and capacitors
• Design tools and reliability analysis of power electronic systems 
  Condition monitoring and operation optimization of power electronic components and converters
