CIPS - International Conference on Integrated Power Electronics Systems

In the next decades, power electronic system develop­ ment will be driven by energy saving systems, intelligent energy management, power quality, system miniaturisation and high reliability. Monolithic and hybrid system integration will comprise advanced device concepts including wide bandgap devices, new packaging technologies and the overall integration of actuators/drives (mechatronic integration).

CIPS is consequently focused on the following main aspects:

  • Assembly and interconnect technology for power electronic devices and converters
  • Integration of hybrid systems and mechatronic systems with high power density
  • Systems‘ and components‘ operational behaviour, reliability and availability

Basic technologies for integrated power electronic systems as well as upcoming new important applications will be presented in interdisciplinary invited papers.

In 2026, the successful story of CIPS will continue as the conference‘s focus is today more important than ever – increasing functionality, energy efficiency and system reliability while decreasing cost.
