Workshop on High Voltage DC and Dielectrics for Electrified Aircraft on June 21st, 2026
A four-hour workshop exploring the evolving landscape of electrical power systems for future electrified aircraft will be held at the IEEE ICD2026, in Southampton (UK). The sessions of the workshop aim to connect the aerospace, electrical insulation, and dielectrics communities within IEEE ICD 2026 (UK). This workshop is jointly organised by the IEEE-TEC Committee on Electrified Aircraft, the IEEE Technical Committee on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation, and the IEEE ICD 2026 organising committee.
Suggested topics include:
- High-Voltage and Current DC or AC for Aircraft Electrification
- Insulation and Dielectric Performance at High Altitude
- High-Voltage DC Distribution Architecture and Power Conversion
- Diagnostics, Monitoring, Qualification, and Certification Pathways
The workshop will feature a keynote, panel discussions and open dialogues to identify critical technical questions, research directions, qualification, and certification needs that the community can address collaboratively during and beyond the conference. Members of IEEE DEIS are warmly encouraged to participate.
