The future of power electronics

For two days, ROHM Semiconductor's SiC & Power Forum was all about the future of power electronics. Around 100 customers and business partners accepted the invitation to Düsseldorf and took part in an intensive dialogue between power experts on 24th and 25th October 2017.

The central theme of the SiC & Power Forum was - obviously - the potential of Silicon Carbide (SiC). After all, optimized materials are not only the key to optimal energy efficiency of power electronic systems in the opinion of Christian André, President of ROHM Semiconductor GmbH. SiC, integrated into new system solutions and innovative component concepts, can also help realize the power-saving potential of power electronics that, according to scientific estimates, accounts for 20 to 35 percent of the current demand for electrical energy.

 

The close exchange with customers and partners is of decisive importance, André is convinced. As the power products of the future can only be developed together. The SiC & Power Forum provided an ideal, because lively platform: in entertaining lectures and in personal conversations, the participants discussed the developments on the market, explored industry trends and were informed about the solution for development challenges and the latest products from ROHM.

Another highlight of the forum was the joint dinner in Düsseldorf's in-location "Dr. Thompson ". In the industrial setting of the old soap factory the personal exchange was in the foreground. The guests deepened their discussions in a relaxed atmosphere and exchanged excellent food with ROHM experts.

 

The feedback following the SiC & Power Forum 2017 was more than positive: the participants praised the professional content of the event, but also the networking character and the opportunity for an informal exchange with colleagues and partners at eye level.

A follow-up event is already being planned: The next SiC & Power Forum will take place in the usual 2-year cycle in autumn 2019.
