Phonon Engineering and Advanced Thermal Management in Power Electronics
How phonon-transport physics, from Umklapp scattering to PGEC materials and superlattices, informs TIM selection, substrate ceramics and active thermal management in SiC/GaN converters.

AC/AC frequency converters: the little-known solution to a problem everyone has
Fixed-frequency AC/AC converters solve the 50/60 Hz mismatch in export manufacturing, railway, marine and industrial applications, where a VFD falls short.

Verification, Validation and TDD in Critical Firmware
Why power converter firmware is a critical reliability component, and how V&V, TDD, the EN 50128 V-Model and HIL testing keep systematic defects out of the fleet.

Advances in Power Electronics: Reliability and RAMS
Eliminating potentiometers and electrolytic capacitors, laser trimming and Design for Reliability: the levers that make 40-year RAMS commitments viable in power converters.

EN 50155: A Practical Guide to Specifying Railway Electronics
"EN 50155 compliant" is not a specification. This practical guide explains which EN 50155 options and companion standards to define so that railway power electronics quotations are comparable.

The DC Power Standards Map for European AI Data Centres
Who is writing the rules for 800 VDC in the AI data centre? A map of the OCP LVDC white paper, Schneider Electric's five principles, the OCP × Current/OS alliance and the relevant IEC standards.

From the 800 V Railway Bus to the AI Rack: The Power Conversion Chain Premium Already Knows
The 800 V bus familiar from railway traction now underpins the AI data centre sidecar. We review the data presented at OCP EMEA Summit 2026 and the role of European GaN.
