    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 four 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.
