New technology radically speeds the simulation of transient electromagnetic fields
In this workshop you will see how electric machines, power and electronic transformers and
other devices can be better designed and analysed using transient electromagnetic field
simulation. This choice allows engineers to analyse the dynamic system including the nonlinear materials, permanent magnets and induced eddy current under a variety of conditions,
employing various excitations including the pulsed waveform.
The new solving method called Time Decomposition Method (TDM) is used along with
specialised solver technology with excellent parallel scalability. The result is an order of
magnitude increase in computational speed which leads to a significant increase in the size of
simulation that can be solved. This patent pending technology allows engineers to solve all
time steps simultaneously instead of sequentially and to distribute the time steps across
multiple cores, networked computers and compute clusters.

Understanding the north american product certification landscape
An overview of the complex product certification requirements ranging from the Authorities
Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) looking for certifications at the product installation sites to
Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) tasked with providing this certification
and their scope of accreditations for the associated standards.
The discussion will include several certification and labelling options available, from a single
customised product shipment to a large family of products being shipped on a regular basis to
North America.
We will also be looking at the major standard used for the purpose and discuss some of the
technical requirements from these standards. Attendees will be able to make an informed
decision on what standards are applicable for their product, what the basic technical
requirements are, the best certification/labeling option for their situation and avoid costly
product release delays and rework at the installation sites.

Have the keynote speakers got it right?
The theme leaders of the EPSRC Centre for Power Electronics have all made keynote
speeches describing their vision for the future of Power Electronics, with specific reference to
the underpinning technology area that they are responsible for.
Do you agree with what they said? Do you have an alternative view or an extended view?
Would you like to ask questions about what was said or what was not said?
All the speakers will be at this session to be questioned. To ensure order is maintained, and
to ask the questions the speakers don’t want asking the session will be facilitated by
Professor Mark Johnson, the Director of the EPSRC Centre for Power Electronics.
