Call For Technical Articles
As we are celebrating the New Year, PELS wel-
comes a new team of leadership. For the next
two years. I will have the privilege to serve as
the PELS president, together with a highly
qualified team of volunteers: Alan Mantooth as
VP for Operations, Braham Ferreira as VP for
Meetings, and Prasad Enjeti as VP for Products.
Each one of them brings to the job many years
of experiences and dedicated services to IEEE
in general and PELS in particular.
Equally exciting, we welcome the class of 2013 IEEE fellows eval-
uated by PELS and approved by the IEEE Board of directors: Ali
Emadi, Cian OMathuna, Dehong Xu, David Perreault, Yan-Fei Liu,
Donald Holmes and Leon Tolbert.
Id like to express my personal gratitude to Dushan Borojevich,
PELS President from 2011 to 2012. Under Dushans leadership,
PELS continued its remarkable growth in its technical activities cov-
ering all aspects of power electronics applications and systems, sig-
nificant outreach to international communities with unprecedented
portfolio of diverse conferences, symposiums and workshops, and
ever increasing presence in print, on the web and digital media
with many new product offerings for our members and the society
at large.
As we move forward to the New Year, we will continue the
growth of PELS in all areas by focusing on the following: 1) Con-
tinue to promote power electronics and the community it serves to
the society at large; 2) Grow and solidify our technical activities by
bringing more young people, more resources and structural support;
3) Strive to improve services and values to PELS members, particu-
larly to industry practitioners and our international colleagues; and
4) Collaborate more effectively with our sister societies.
With sustainability, our community is gaining wider recognition
as a top-tier technology discriminator. A prominent example is last
years recognition of one of the Newell awardees with the National
Medal of Technology and Innovation. This is a golden era for PELS to
grow. I am looking forward to your support and to working together
to achieve the objectives essential for PELS future success.
In my next message, I will update you with our celebration plan
for PELS 25th anniversary and more details on our action plan for
the next two years.

GRAPES: Bringing Power Electronics to the
Electric Power Grid
Alan Mantooth & Roger Dougal
GRAPES Center Directors
About the Center
GRAPES, the NSF Center for GRid-connected
Advanced Power Electronic Systems, was
founded in 2009 as an NSF Industry/University
Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) with
sites at the University of Arkansas and the
University of South Carolina. The mission of
the GRAPES Center is to accelerate the adop-
tion and insertion of power electronics into the
electric grid to enable smart power flow and
subsequently improve system stability, flexibility,
robustness, and economy. This mission is accom-
plished by focusing on the following main objectives:
Developing new technologies for advanced power elec-
tronic systems in the areas supporting grid-connected distributed
energy resources, power conditioning and routing devices, and
intelligent load-side devices,
Developing the software and tools for controlling embedded-
and grid-connected power electronics to benefit the grid as well
as controlled loads,
Educating engineers who understand the power electronic tech-
nologies important to the member companies and industry in
general.
Nine professors are involved in the centers research, supported
by two full-time and two part-time operations staff. More than fifty
graduate and undergraduate students are associated
with GRAPES projects. In the first three years of
the center, GRAPES has graduated over a dozen
students at all levels, many of whom have gone
on to work at member companies immediately
after graduating.
GRAPES follows the traditional I/UCRC mod-
el in which companies membership funds are
pooled to support the research that is conducted
by university researchers. Representatives of each
member company constitute the Industrial Advisory
Board (IAB) and this board meets face-to-face twice
a year, and via teleconference numerous other times to
discuss project ideas, strategic goals for the center, learn
about ongoing work and decide which future research should be
pursued. Currently, GRAPES nineteen industrial members are fund-
ing 14 projects.
About the Research
One of the strengths of GRAPES research program is the breadth
of expertise available from its researchers, which covers the vast
array of issues that need to be addressed in order to create success-
ful power electronics. GRAPES researchers have expertise in areas
from power packaging and simulation, to circuit design and

controls, all the way to power system analysis and integration and
testing. This vertically integrated approach improves the quality of
the research and expands the scope of successful projects. It allows
students to experience the system-level context of their research
even if they are working at the device level. For example, packag-
ing students working with circuit design students creates a situation
where real-world constraints such as thermal management, noise
immunity, and parasitic analysis are all properly considered. This
approach ensures that research outputs consider the issues that
must be addressed in order to create viable products for the mem-
ber companies.
GRAPES researchers have accomplished great things in the last
three years. Some of the completed projects include:
Developed packaging structures, materials and characteristics for
power modules carrying devices rated up to 10 kV. This improves
the voltage and current handling capability of the power modules
used in power electronic systems.
Built a 2 kW prototype of a smart green power node, a uni-
versal power router and energy management device for resi-
dential applications, including writing predictive algorithms
for system control.
Developed a software tool for layout synthesis of power modules
that allows tradeoffs of temperature vs. electrical parasitics for a
more optimal layout.
Completed work to integrate energy storage into a distribution
system with high PV penetration, including analysis of various

power node.
Directions of Power Electronics
The past decade has seen some significant advances in wide
bandgap semiconductor devices, including commercialization of
SiC and GaN. Further material advances have aided in the devel-
opment of the power electronic packaging to achieve levels of
power density at the module level that have not been previously
attained. This becomes still more impressive with the advances in
single chip gate drivers and power supplies on a chip. The intel-
ligent or smart integrated power electronic module is a reality in
the laboratory and should become a commercial reality in the
near term. The significance of this integration is that costs will
come down and reliability will increase in much the same way as
occurred in integrated circuits in the 1980s and 1990s. Continuing
advances will be required in all of these areas, but the research
communities in both industry and academia are engaged to make
this happen.
New advances are expected in SiC and GaN devices including
higher blocking voltages, higher current ratings, and higher yieldsas
material quality is improved. New advances in power electronic
module packaging are also right around the corner including new
passivation materials, thermal management techniques, and wire
bondless interconnect methods. The realization of wide bandgap
IC design will enable still tighter module-level integration of drivers,
protection circuitry, command and control circuitry within the mod-
ules in those applications where desirable.
All of these advances at the technology level will most certainly
be followed by advances in system level controls that will take ad-
vantage of new capabilities. The growing concentration of power
electronics in the electric power grid will require ever more care-
ful coordination of power electronic-based assets, while also offer-
ing opportunities for higher penetration of storage, renewables, and
microgrid concepts.
