It’s a chance to catch up on the latest global insights, access the latest ideas and bring your organisation into a major partnership or collaboration.   Technical sessions will include high- frequency converters, machine control, rail and aerospace systems, permanent magnet machines, smart grids and microgrids, thermal management, distributed generation, energy storage and fuel cells. Easy to install and simple to use, the ABACUS delivers repeatable results day in, day out, reliably and consistently.
