报告摘要：Magnetic components often dominate the size and loss of power converters and fundamentally scale poorly to small sizes. This talk describes emerging approaches to address these challenges through the use of piezoelectric-based energy storage elements. Piezoelectric components store energy in mechanical inertia and compliance, with energy storage densities that are orders of magnitude higher than achievable with magnetics. Piezoelectrics can potentially provide radical improvements in the achievable size and efficiency of power converters for some applications, but advances in circuits, controls, passive component design and packaging are needed to realize these benefits. This talk will describe the opportunities, recent progress and present challenges in piezoelectric based power electronics.
