Riassunto

This symposium was the sCientific-technical event of the centennial celebration of the Asea Brown Boveri Switzerland. The purpose was to assess the present state of the art as well as shaping the basis for future progress in the area of power devices and related power circuits. The merger of Brown Boveri (BBC) with Asea to Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) three years ago gave new stimulus and enriched the technical substance of the symposium. By 1991, 100 years after the formation of BBC in Switzerland as a single company, this organization has been decentralized, forming 35 independent ABB companies. One of them - ABB Semiconductors Ltd. - directly deals with the power semiconductor business. These significant changes reflect the changes in the market place: increased competition and higher customer expectations have to be fulfilled. In line with the core business activities of ABB and with the concept of sustainable development, it is natural for ABB to be active in the area of power devices and circuits. Increased awareness towards energy conservation is one of the main drives for these activities. User friendliness is another drive: integration of intelligent functions, e.g. protection and/or increased direct computer interfacing of the power circuits. Therefore, also the R&D activities related to the subject of thIs symposium will in the future be characterized by an even stronger coupling with the market needs. For the members of the R&D Laboratories this means improved customer partnership beyond operational excellence.
