PSMA announces finalists for new energy efficiency award
The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) has announced the selection of three finalists under consideration for its new 'Global Energy Efficiency Award.'
The finalists were Pulsiv (UK) for its high-efficiency 65W USB Type-C adapter design; TCL (China) for its super-efficient, single-stage multi-output power supply design for 32 inch and 43 inch TVs; and Solafam (Uganda) for its hybrid solar-powered cold room for rural access.
Beyond energy conservation, the judging panel evaluated the finalists based on their total potential impact on the power electronics industry, whether through volume shipments or by social outcomes. The following finalists were chosen from among over 20 nominated companies:
“Energy efficiency is a consideration of nearly all facets of the PSMA, comprising our 14 committees and forums, publications, technical workshops, seminars and conference tracks,” said Trifon Liakopoulos, PSMA’s president. “The presentation of this singular award in connection with the organization’s 40th anniversary truly reflects PSMA’s raison d'être – actively contributing to the industry.”
“We thank all participants who submitted nominations for the award,” said Liakopoulos. “So much good work is being performed on energy conservation, it’s difficult to recognize it all. Nonetheless, it is our privilege to highlight a few shining contributions exemplifying a dedication to energy efficiency through innovative system design.”
The award will be presented to the winner during next year’s Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) in Atlanta, March 16-20, 2025, as part of PSMA’s 40th anniversary celebration.
