As the world races towards net-zero emissions, high-efficiency electric power conversion is becoming increasingly important. The trend calls for cutting-edge power electronics designs based on the latest semiconductor materials and topologies. This creates a significant challenge, since the traditional approaches to power converter design cannot keep up with the pace of innovation, the growing complexity and exponential growth in the number of design solutions.

PowerForge offers a unique platform for efficient power converter design early in the product development cycle across numerous industries, including aerospace, automotive and power generation. Featuring a built-in database of semiconductor devices, a fast solver and a multi-parameter benchmarking utility, PowerForge empowers engineers with the ability to predictively select and compare various power converter topologies, material technologies (e.g. SiC, GaN) and modulation strategies, to deliver the optimum solution in terms of power loss, electrical waveforms, size, weight and cost.
