Alex Lidow will speak at this year's plenary session Plenary session is a term often used in s to define the part of the conference when all members of all parties are in attendance. These sessions may contain a broad range of content from Keynotes to Panel Discussions and are not necessarily related to a specific style of delivery. at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC APEC in full Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Trade group established in 1989 in response to the growing interdependence of Asia-Pacific economies and the advent of regional economic blocs (such as the European Union and the North American Free Trade Area) ) being held in Austin, Texas, March 6 to 10. Dr. Lidow's presentation will look at the development of key electrical systems that have improved our global standard of living, and the impact and potential for power electronics to improve performance and efficiency. Dr. Lidow's presentation, "The Role of Power Electronics in Raising Our Standard of Living," will take place on Monday, March 7, in the Hilton Hotel's Governor's Ballroom beginning at 1:30 PM. "In its early days, power electronics was the fundamental technology enabling the conversion and delivery of energy in the format needed by the electrical load If an electric circuit has a well-defined output terminal, the circuit connected to this terminal (or its input impedance) is the load. (The term 'load' may also refer to the power consumed by a circuit; that topic is not discussed here. . In just the past decade, however, it has become clear that power electronics has an even greater mission -- that of energy conservation. Our globe is rapidly becoming energy constrained con·strain tr.v. con·strained, con·strain·ing, con·strains 1. To compel by physical, moral, or circumstantial force; oblige: felt constrained to object. See Synonyms at force. 2. and therefore energy conservation has become essential for the continued growth of our standard of living," Dr. Lidow said.
