SUMMARY:From Grid to Motion: How Industrial Electrification is Redefining Power System Design
DESCRIPTION:From Grid to Motion: How Industrial Electrification is Redefining Power System Design\nKnowles Webinar \nDate: May 7\, 2026\nTime: 11 AM EDT (8 AM PDT / 5:00 PM CEST)\nIndustrial electrification is driving a fundamental shift in how power is generated\, converted\, and applied across industrial systems. This webinar examines the seven-stage industrial electrification chain—from renewable generation and energy storage to motor drives\, robotics\, mobile electrification\, and industrial heating—showing how the move to inverter-based architectures is reshaping system design. With capacitors serving as the common enabling technology at every stage\, the session highlights where and why aluminum electrolytic\, film\, and supercapacitors are used\, how they address demands such as lifetime\, ripple handling\, and fast transient response\, and how hybrid approaches are unlocking new performance and reliability gains as industry accelerates its transition away from fossil fuels. \n\nOverview\nIndustrial electrification is driving a fundamental transformation in how energy is generated\, converted\, and applied across industrial systems. As industries shift away from fossil-fuel–based processes\, electrification is emerging not as a single market\, but as a megatrend spanning renewable generation\, energy storage\, electric vehicle infrastructure\, motion control\, mobile equipment\, and industrial heating. This webinar introduces the seven-stage industrial electrification chain\, framing the scope and scale of this transition and the increasing reliance on power electronics-based architectures. \nAcross every stage of the electrification chain\, capacitors serve as the common enabling technology\, performing critical roles such as DC link energy storage\, EMI suppression\, ripple current handling\, fast transient buffering\, and system protection. The session explores how electrification is increasing both the quantity and performance demands of capacitors\, and why design requirements like lifetime\, reliability\, efficiency\, and safety are becoming more stringent as systems operate at higher power densities and voltages. \nThe webinar concludes with a technology level perspective on aluminum electrolytic\, film\, and supercapacitors\, examining where each excels and why hybrid approaches are increasingly common in modern industrial designs. Through real application examples—from motor drives and robotics to BESS\, AGVs\, and industrial heating—attendees will gain practical insight into how component level decisions shape system performance\, reliability\, and total cost of ownership in the rapidly electrifying industrial landscape. \nFor more information\, please visit here. \n\n\nKey Takeaways\n\nRecognize that industrial electrification is a broad\, system level shift—not a single market\nUnderstand how capacitors enable every stage of the electrification power chain\nLearn how aluminum electrolytic\, film\, and supercapacitors each play distinct roles\, but often work together in hybrid architectures\n\nSpeaker\nTrent Carroll\, Product Manager\, Knowles’ Cornell Dubilier Brand \nTrent Carroll currently manages Knowles’ Cornell Dubilier brand of aluminum electrolytic screw terminal capacitors\, supercapacitors\, and rechargeable batteries. He brings broad product management experience across a wide range of capacitor technologies\, having supported every type of electrolytic capacitor offered by Knowles’ Cornell Dubilier brand — along with select board-level film products.

SUMMARY:Winding Loss Modeling for Toroidal Magnetics - Including Gapped Cores
DESCRIPTION:Frenetic Webinar: Winding Loss Modeling for Toroidal Magnetics – Including Gapped Cores\nWednesday\, May 13\, 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM CET \nToroidal magnetics are widely used in power electronics thanks to their compact geometry and low stray fields. However\, accurately predicting winding losses becomes significantly more difficult when introducing air gaps\, non-uniform windings\, or arbitrary layouts. \nIn this webinar\, Jonas Mühlethaler will present a practical winding-loss modeling approach recently introduced at APEC 2026. The method extends the well-known mirroring technique to handle gapped toroids and complex winding arrangements\, scenarios where traditional 1D or uniform-winding models are no longer sufficient. \nThe session will explore how this approach can achieve FEM-level accuracy (within approximately 6%) without the computational burden of running full FEM simulations. \nTopics covered include: \n\nModeling winding losses in gapped toroids\nCommon Mode Chokes (CMCs) and toroidal transformers\nArbitrary winding layouts\nExtensions to the classic mirroring method\nAccuracy comparison versus FEM simulations\nPractical implications for high-frequency magnetic design\n\nThis webinar is especially relevant for engineers working on high-frequency magnetics\, power converters\, and advanced magnetic modeling workflows.

SUMMARY:EMC with EMC – EMC‑compliant design with electromechanical connectors
DESCRIPTION:Würth Elektronik Webinar: EMC with EMC – EMC‑compliant design with electromechanical connectors\n\nTuesday\, June 16th 2026 @ 4:00PM CEST\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEMC is defined in the design phase – not in the test lab. In this free webinar\, we show how electromagnetic interference is generated\, how layout and return current paths influence EMC performance\, and how typical EMC issues can be avoided early in the design process. \n\n\nWe start with an unusual question to spark curiosity: What do a flower and a bee have to do with EMC? From there\, the focus quickly shifts to practical aspects taken directly from everyday development work. \nSpecial attention is given to electromechanical connectors and components and their impact on emissions and immunity at system level.
