"IET Power Electronics" launched.


The Institution of Electronics and Technology (IET IET Institution of Engineering and Technology (merged name of IEE and IIE)
IET Initial Entry Training
IET Image Enhancement Technology
IET Institute of Environmental Technology (Houston, TX) 
; Melville, NY/London) has begun the publication of "IET Power Electronics," a new journal that carries information on five principal power electronics themes through article and commentaries. It is published six times a year and an annual subscription costs $720 for a print or online edition and $864 for both.

Editorial includes information broadly covering the five segments of power electronics, including: applications of power semiconductor technology for the control and conversion of electric power in electric machine drives, all forms of transport, manufacturing, heating, lighting, building services and industrial scale power conditioning; circuits commonly used including all types of converters, inverters, active filters, switched mode power and uninterruptible power; and, devices used in power electronic applications including power semiconductor devices, photovoltaic The generation of voltage by a material that is exposed to light in the visible and invisible ranges. See photoelectric and photovoltaic cell.  devices, passive components, batteries and fuses.

It also covers techniques for controlling, analyzing, modeling and/or simulation of power electronics circuits and electronic systems as well as performance management of power electronic systems including power factor correction Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor that is less than 1. Power factor correction may be applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to improve the stability and efficiency  and harmonic spectrum A harmonic spectrum is a spectrum with harmonics whose frequencies are whole number multiples of the fundamental frequency.

 management, thermal management, noise mitigation Noise mitigation is a set of strategies to reduce unwanted environmental sound. The main topics of noise mitigation (alternatively known as noise abatement) are: transportation noise control, architectural design, and occupational noise control. , and fusing In electrophotography, making the toner adhere permanently to the paper. Heat fusing melts the toner, which is pressed into the paper. Cold fusing presses the toner into the paper without applying any heat. Flash fusing melts the toner with light, and no heat or pressure is used.  and protection.
