Future Challenges for Magnetics in Power Electronics

Magnetic materials have a special role to play in opening the
bottlenecks in achieving higher power densities, higher
frequencies, and smaller and lighter components for electrical
power supply systems. This involves exploring new materials, new
ways of combining materials, and new form factors. The results can
stretch the specifications - such as frequencies up to the 10s of
MHz - and reduce the challenges of cooling requirements, and skin
and proximity effects, as well as the handling of resonant
frequencies and the variety of fluxes in multifrequency components.

Prof. Peter Zacharias, Head of the Department for Electrical Power
Supply Systems at Kassel University, in episode 5 of the"Sound On.
