PE-Systems GmbH
Kevin Hermanns is founder and managing director of PE-Systems GmbH. PE-Systems offers solutions in the field of design automation for power electronics including automated characterization and device modelling. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Kevin started his professional career at Siemens in the project office of large-scale railway automation projects. Afterwards, he worked as a research associate at the Technical University of Darmstadt in the Power Electronics Department. During this time, his research interests focused mainly on the distortions of high-power converters. He actively contributed to Cigre working group B4.67, which resulted in the technical brochure “AC side harmonics and appropriate limits for VSC HVDC”. He is also an active participant in national and international standardization committees (e.g. IEC and CENELEC). The past two years Kevin was the founding chair of the newly formed IEEE Power Electronics Society Technical Committee on Design Methodologies. As such, he sees his role as promoting the use of novel design methodologies. In particular, he focuses on the interaction between design tools and test and measurement techniques.
Andreas Rosskopf studied Applied Mathematics with a focus on Numerical Simulation in Erlangen, Germany. Afterwards he worked as a computational engineer in the automotive, large drive and energy industries.
Since 2012, he has been working as a research associate in the department "Modeling and Artificial Intelligence" at Fraunhofer IISB in Erlangen and received his PhD in numerical methods for loss calculation of litz wires in 2018. Since 2018, he leads the working group "AI-augmented Simulation”, and supports and initiates activities for data-driven design optimization of power electronic devices and systems. His research covers Long-Short-term Memory (LSTM) for the prediction of batterie degeneration, Reinforcement Learning (RL) for the Optimization of electric circuits as well as varying applications of Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINN) for optics and power electronics.
