The Impact of AI on the Entire Power Electronics Lifecycle

Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is experiencing a surge in recent breakthroughs. Advances in generative AI enable machines to create texts, pictures, videos, and other digital assets that were unimaginable just few years ago. Its potential to transform the global economy is already evident. For industry, in particular for the power electronics sector, these innovations offer huge potential. We give an overview on the state of power electronics and where AI can help us to overcome the present main challenges. Considering the power electronics lifecycle, we highlight selected references where artificial intelligence is already generating added value. We discuss present trends showing how AI will help us to innovate, design, develop, manufacture, and operate our systems.
