The application-level reliability of a power converter is among the least understood topics today. There are no established guidelines that can be used to design a power converter in order to guarantee a certain mean-time-between-failures (MTBF) or mean-time-to-failures (MTTF). This talk will discuss the current approach followed in industry for assessing the field-reliability of power converters and will outline a new approach that emphasises on physics-based component failure mechanisms.
Find out moreThe aim of the annual IEEE UK&I Robotics and Automation Society conference is to improve the communication of its members and other researchers, young students and industrial professionals who are interested in the activities of RAS. This can be in research, development and education, knowledge sharing, latest research achievements and technologies in RAS, and promote collaboration and knowledge transformation. We have invited experts in the UK and abroad to give their recent research outcomes and exploration.
