Abstract
Over a period of five years, the US Navy has invested in an array
of power electronic technology via the Power Electronic Building Blocks
(PEBB) program. This investment is crucial to existing and future Navy
ships. This investment is also crucial to the power electronics
industry. Throughout the PEBB program, many modern paradigms have been
studied for adaptation to power electronics. They are open plug and play
architecture, cellular design, hierarchical design, integration, and
concurrent engineering. The goal is to make power electronics more
amenable to high-volume, low-cost, production. Furthermore, the
expertise and complexity of power electronics is to be encapsulated and
distributed within each building block. The key issue is the ability to
integrate these elements, using high volume manufacturing methods
