Venue
The 2025 3D-PEIM conference will be held at the Sheraton Denver West Hotel, located at 360 Union Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80228.
Host
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is the is the only national laboratory 100% dedicated to research, development, commercialization, and deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
It is also home to the world-class Advanced Power Electronics and Electric Machines (APEEM) research group, which works to deliver safe, reliable, high-performing, power-dense components that allow seamless integration between renewable energy sources, electric transportation, and the grid.
NREL’s Advanced Power Electronics and Electric Machines research group will serve as the host of the 2025 3D-PEIM conference.
About APEEM
Wide-scale decarbonization—of our transportation systems, our electrical utilities, and other critical sectors—will rely on better power electronics, electric machines, and electric-drive systems, all of which help control and convert electricity into usable forms. NREL’s research works to improve power electronics and electric machine component and system performance, reliability, and efficiency. These advancements make decarbonized technologies possible.
NREL’s Advanced Power Electronics and Electric Machines group consists of mechanical and electrical engineers who work closely with vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, universities, and other research organizations to develop solutions that overcome the most challenging technical barriers to renewably powered technologies, including EVs and other applications.
The group is devoted to designing, building, and characterizing power converters, control systems, traction drives, advanced gate drivers, state of health estimation of converters, and electric machines, all in addition to performing degradation analysis for individual components and modules.
NREL’s world-class research and characterization facilities form an end-to-end pipeline. APEEM researchers can design, build, characterize, and validate prototypes spanning from proof-of-concept to high-performance systems all in one laboratory setting.
The group’s research areas include:
- Module development and characterization
- Thermal modeling and management
- Thermomechanical reliability analysis
- Physics-of-failure-based reliability analysis
- State of health monitoring and prognostics
- Microelectronics
