Introduction
Wide Bandgap Power Semiconductors and Their Application in New Power Systems
Wide bandgap power semiconductors and new power systems are key industries supported by China's "14th Five-Year Plan", with great research potential and market prospects. How did wide bandgap power semiconductors develop to their current state? What lessons can we learn from their history? How do they relate to new power systems? How far have they advanced so far? And what are the remaining challenges? I hope to share these with you in this lecture.
Insulation Reliability of Electrical Equipment under Electrothermal Coupling Conditions
Insulation reliability is the basis for the reliable operation of high-voltage equipment. In this talk, we will share and discuss new methods for non-destructive detection of defects in existing insulation components, new technologies for self-assembly coating to suppress defects in semiconductors and insulation and conductor-insulation interfaces, and new materials to enhance insulation performance under harsh electrothermal coupling conditions.
