Synopsis

Power devices are key to modern power systems, performing essential functions such as inverting and changing voltages, buffering and switching. The increasing complexity of power systems, with distributed renewable generation on the rise, is posing challenges to these devices. In recent years, a number of new devices has emerged, including wide bandgap devices. They all have their advantages and weaknesses in certain applications.

The book addresses power device utilization issues, especially at the design level, by bridging the gap between semiconductor theory and power electronic applications. Semiconductor physics needs to be conjugated with material science and applications engineering.

À propos de l?auteur

Francesco Iannuzzo received the M.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Information Engineering from the University of Naples, Italy, in 1997 and 2002, respectively. He is primarily specialized in power device modeling.

He is currently a professor of Reliable Power Electronics at the Aalborg University, Denmark, where he is also part of CORPE, the Center of Reliable Power Electronics. His research interests are in the field of reliability of power devices, including mission-profile based life estimation, condition monitoring, failure modeling, and testing up to MW-scale modules under extreme conditions. He is the author or co-author of more than 220 publications on journals and international conferences, three book chapters, and four patents. Besides publication activity, over the past years, he has been contributing 17 technical seminars about reliability at first conferences as ISPSD, EPE, ECCE, PCIM, and APEC.

Prof. Iannuzzo is a senior member of the IEEE (Industry Application Society, Reliability Society, Power Electronics Society, and Industrial Electronics Society). He currently serves as Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, Transactions on Industry Applications, the EPE Journal, and Elsevier Microelectronics Reliability. He is the vice-chair of the IEEE IAS Power Electronic Devices and Components Committee. In 2018 he was the general chair of the 29th ESREF, the first European conference on the reliability of electronics, and has recently been appointed general chair for the EPE 2023 conference in Aalborg.
