Power Electronics Design Methods and Automation in the Digital Era: Evolution of Design Automation Tools

Last June at the 10th IEEE Future of Electronic Power Processing and Conversion (FEPPCON X) workshop, I chaired the session "Power Electronics Design Methods and Automation in the Era of Digitalization," which was held 26 June 2019 at Scandic Ishavshotel in Tromso, Norway. To foresee the evolution of design automation tools in the power systems arena, this session offered presentations from two distinguished speakers, Prof. Alan Mantooth from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and Prof. Johann W. Kolar from ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
