Power electronic modules form the basis of grid modernization

Power electronic modules form the basis of grid modernization H. Alan Mantooth, Distinguished Professor at the University of Arkansas, guides us through power electronic modules, which form the basis of grid modernization. For the past 25 years, the University of Arkansas Power Group (UAPG) and its collaborators have advanced the field in power electronics packaging research, development, and commercialization. Formed in 1991 under DARPA funding, the High-Density Electronics Center (HiDEC) at the University of Arkansas has been at the forefront of electronics packaging for almost 35 years. For the majority of that time, there has been an intense effort on packaging power semiconductor devices into what is commonly known as power modules.
