Power electronics fair returns to Asia in 2023

PCIM Asia will return from 29–31 August 2023 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. In addition to the exhibition, the fair will cover four areas of the power electronics industry, namely: electrical transportation technology, new energy development, power electronics applications and WBG devices, among other fields. These will be explored through forums featuring a range of topics with guest speakers from renowned academic institutions including Tsinghua, Tongji and Shanghai Jiao Tong universities.

Participants from every corner of the power electronics industry, including researchers, manufacturers, suppliers, users, developers, engineers, investors and policymakers, are welcome at the fair. Attending the fair presents an opportunity to interact, share knowledge and build partnerships that will shape the next generation of power electronics.

PCIM Asia 2023 will bring together leading experts in power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy and energy management, with new exhibitors this year including onsemi, NOVOSENSE, Sharetek, Ganext, AOS, Redpower, Marching-power, Second-auto, Yangjie and JSAB. The event also has continued support from a range of sponsors, including Mitsubishi Electric, Semikron-Danfoss, Fuji Electric, Infineon and ROHM.

In addition to the exhibition, PCIM Asia 2023 will also provide an extensive examination of the latest advancements in the field of power electronics, featuring a range of topics through four current forums. Among these forums is ‘Electrical transportation technology in the Industry 4.0 era’, in which speakers from universities and research institutions such as Tsinghua University, Tongji University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, and Tongji-CRRC Joint Research Center for Innovation will analyse China’s shift towards electrical transportation technology. The forum will unveil the latest developments in the field and conduct discussions on topics such as domestic railways, electric vehicles, intelligent motion control, marine engineering and electric UAVs.

The second forum, ‘New energy development under the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals’, will explore the prospects and key technologies around new energy development and use under China’s “dual carbon” goals. New energy power generation technologies will also be explored, such as wind, solar, hydrogen and marine energy. Prominent industry experts, academics and manufacturing professionals will take part from organisations and institutions including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Lingang Power Electronics Research Institute, Sungrow, Hopewind and Shanghai Electric.

The Power Electronics Application Forum, sponsored by Indium, Nexperia and WeEn, will analyse the latest power electronics application market trends, showcase new product releases, discuss industry best practices, conduct product demonstrations and engage in business matchmaking.

The WBG Devices Zone & Forum will focus on the Wide Bandgap Devices market, supply chain and technologies including SiC and GaN power devices.
