Modern lectures in power electronics should be complemented by interactive content, e.g. computer assisted learning via web-based applets or exercises employing a circuit simulator. The online e-learning system “iPES” was established in 2001; since then the iPES Java applets are frequently used in academia and industry to teach the basics of power electronics. This paper introduces new features of the open-source power electronics circuit ...

For various electrical interconnect and EMC problems, the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method has proven to be a valid and fast solution method of the electrical field integral equation in the time as well as the frequency domain. Therefore, PEEC has become a multipurpose full-wave method, especially suited for the solution of combined circuit and EM problems, as found, for instance, on printed circuit board layouts, power ...
