Recently, we published an article [1] presenting how the Power Electronics course at the bachelor level is organized by the Power Electronics Laboratory and taught at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL, Switzerland. For those avid readers who may have checked the article, it may be clear that the main topic of that course aims to teach students practical hardware design. But, this is only a subset of the power electronics field, and there is much more to it. Namely, modern power electronics rely heavily on the digital control and use of computational resources such as microcontroller units (MCUs), digital signal processors (DSPs), or field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), to name a few. As power ratings and complexity of the converters are increased, one must resort to using embedded controller hardware, and develop and deploy suitable control algorithms on it.

Global scientific publisher Springer recently published a book “Direct Current Fault Protection: Basic Concepts and Technology Advances” edited by Isik C. Kizilyalli, Z. John Shen, and Daniel W. Cunningham with about 60 contributing authors from industry, academia, research organizations, and government agencies. To the reviewer’s knowledge, this is the first book exclusively dedicated to direct current (dc) fault protection. It is a very timely book given the rapid growth and tremendous interests in dc systems for various applications, including datacenters, electrified transportations (vehicles, airplanes, ships, and trains), energy storage systems, renewable energy systems, and electric grid, across all voltage levels from hundreds of volts to hundreds of kilovolts.

Applications ranging from MRI and CT scanners to the latest radiation and radiotherapy equipment—sometimes collectively referred to as the “big iron” of the medical world—have a variety of demanding requirements when it comes to powering key elements of the equipment. Here, power delivery can range from a few watts to more than 20 kW. What’s more, power ratings continue to rise as the systems become more complex, integrating more powerful electronics to support advances in 3D and 4D imaging modalities and improve diagnostic outcomes. In addition to addressing the ratings and safety requirements of these medical systems, designers are looking for efficient, high-power-density solutions that keep size to a minimum and heat dissipation low, offer good EMC performance, reduce ongoing energy costs, and simplify cooling overheads. Because these systems are expected to operate continually over many years, reliability and ease of maintenance are also important considerations. In this article, we look at the power supply design and operational requirements of big iron medical systems and how configurable, medically certified power supplies can be used to meet these requirements while simplifying system design.
从核磁共振成像和 CT 扫描仪到最新的辐射和放射治疗设备（有时统称为医疗界的 "大铁"），这些应用对设备关键部件的供电有着各种苛刻的要求。在这里，功率传输范围从几瓦到 20 千瓦以上不等。此外，随着系统变得越来越复杂，额定功率也在不断提高，集成了更强大的电子设备，以支持 3D 和 4D 成像模式的进步，并改善诊断结果。除了满足这些医疗系统的额定功率和安全要求外，设计人员还在寻找高效、高功率密度的解决方案，以保持最小的尺寸和较低的散热，提供良好的电磁兼容性能，降低持续的能源成本，并简化冷却开销。由于这些系统需要持续运行多年，因此可靠性和易维护性也是重要的考虑因素。在本文中，我们将探讨大铁医疗系统的电源设计和运行要求，以及如何使用可配置、经医疗认证的电源来满足这些要求，同时简化系统设计。

In pursuit of achieving the sustainable development goals, significant transformations are underway in the energy and transportation sectors. Cyber-physical system (CPS), a component of Industry 4.0, enables real-time monitoring, efficiency enhancement, and data generation. However, it also introduces challenges and vulnerabilities, particularly the risk of cyberattacks [1]. Critical infrastructure sectors include power grids, transportation systems, data centers, and healthcare, among others. Managing the relationship between technology and critical infrastructure involves complex regulatory and ethical considerations. Overreliance on CPS can lead to single points of failure, where a disruption in one system can cascade into others, emphasizing the need for cautious implementation.
