Power electronics are critical in the modern world because they enable efficient control and conversion of electrical power. This technology stimulates innovation in the field of renewable energy, electrification of transport, smart grids and energy storage. By increasing energy efficiency, reducing waste and supporting the use of sustainable energy, power electronics are critical to technological progress and environmental sustainability.
In the Netherlands, the power electronics community, represented by the association EMVT (Elektromagnetische Vermogenstechniek), aims to promote the development and dissemination of new knowledge and products in the field of power electronics and electromagnetism by connecting education, science and industry.
