he Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) announces that The Power Technology Roadmap 2017 is now available for purchase by both PSMA members and non-members. This is the tenth edition in the roadmap series, which is published every two years. A preview of the report, including the Table of Contents and Foreword, is available on the homepage of the PSMA website, www.psma.com.
The 2017 report forecasts the power technology and power delivery trends through 2021 and includes a USB memory drive version containing the complete report and the graphics and the presentation in color as well as the recorded webinars which provided up-to-date industry information used in the final report. The webinar recordings add much to the report because the listener can understand the context and the subtext of the materials in the presenter's own voice.
In this edition, a new section on Component Technologies has been added. It is widely recognized that the power technology growth is strongly impacted by the growth (or lack thereof) of underlying component technologies. In prior roadmaps, the component angle was covered through the webinar presentations, but it is hoped that the addition of this new section will provide further insights and value to the readers.
The 2017 report continues with essay contributions by the industry experts on Applications Trends and Emerging Technologies. The Application Trends section covers diverse segments such as automotive, consumer, computing, lighting, motor control, medical, and portable charging. This year, an energy harvesting segment makes a debut to keep up with the changing trends in power electronics. The Emerging Technologies section includes 3D packaging, additive manufacturing, high-frequency magnetics, integrated magnetics and use of nanofluids in electronic cooling. There is much valuable information in these essays.
"The end result of the webinars, surveys, presentations and discussions is a comprehensive report by the PSMA that offers a consolidated view of the latest trends in the power management, power control and power delivery technologies," said Dhaval Dalal, Co-Chair of the organizing committee. "This latest edition of the PTR provides the most extensive, forward-looking view of our industry. It is an invaluable resource for any organization involved in the power electronics technology marketplace."
"Power electronics technology has emerged, or should we say re-emerged, as an enabling technology in its own right. Part of our industry is now shaping the technology for a large part of the electronics industry." said Conor Quinn, Co-Chair of the organizing committee. "The breadth and depth of the information in this report is unprecedented and together captures the technical trends and issues facing the power sources industry. We hope industry professionals will find our 2017 report useful, thought provoking and valuable."
A copy of the printed and USB memory drive versions of 2017 PSMA Power Technology Roadmap has been sent to PSMA Regular and Associate member companies as a benefit of their membership. Additional copies may be purchased at the member price of $190. PSMA Affiliate members may also purchase the report for $190. The report will be available to non-members June 15 for purchase on the PSMA website (www.psma.com) at the price of $2,990.
