What Power Electronics News does

Power Electronics News is a privately held B2B digital media publication operating under AspenCore Media, a diversified electronics engineering media conglomerate. The publication produces original and curated technical content focused exclusively on power electronics, covering wide-bandgap semiconductors (GaN and SiC), motor control, renewable energy systems, automotive electrification, AI data center power architectures, thermal management, and test & measurement. Its product portfolio spans multiple formats: long-form technical articles and tutorials, the PowerUP podcast, the Power Corner weekly video interview series, the PowerUP Circuit Lab hands-on video series, monthly PEN eBooks, webinars, a multi-part Power Electronics Course, and the annual PowerUP Conference series plus the PowerUP Virtual Expo. A weekly email newsletter and distribution through Google News, Apple News, YouTube, and major podcast platforms extend reach globally under the AspenCore Network alongside sister publications such as EE Times and EDN.

The business operates a content-led growth model targeting professional power electronics engineers and engineering managers, with secondary audiences among academic researchers and semiconductor vendors. Monetization is driven entirely by advertising, sponsored content, and content partnerships (e.g., sponsored podcast episodes with vendors like Renesas) — there is no paid subscription, and premium content (eBooks, white papers, webinars) is gated only behind free registration. With roughly five editorial employees and headquarters disclosed as Garden City, NY, the publication functions as a lean, content-focused vertical media property whose distribution leverage comes primarily from the AspenCore Network's global infrastructure rather than standalone scale. Partnerships with industry consortia (PowerAmerica) and community platforms (Elektroda) extend its editorial ecosystem, while recurring sponsored content integrations and the annual conference franchise anchor advertiser relationships.

Direct peers

• EDN: EDN is another sister AspenCore publication focused on electronic design engineering, with the same B2B ad-supported model, podcast/video formats, and overlapping advertiser roster. It competes for the same reader attention and sponsor budgets as Power Electronics News within the network.
• EE Times: EE Times is the flagship electronics engineering trade publication and a sister brand within the AspenCore Media network. It directly overlaps with Power Electronics News in target audience (electronics engineers), content format (articles, podcasts, webinars, conferences), and advertising base (semiconductor vendors), making it the most direct comparable peer.
• IEEE Spectrum: IEEE Spectrum is the flagship engineering magazine of the IEEE, covering power, semiconductors, and energy systems alongside other engineering disciplines. It competes for technical mindshare among the same engineer readership and offers a comparable multi-format content (articles, podcasts, webinars) model, though broader in scope.
• Design World: Design World covers mechanical, electronic, and motion control engineering for design engineers across multiple formats including articles, podcasts, and webinars with an ad-supported model. It overlaps directly with Power Electronics News in motion control and power conversion coverage and competes for the same advertiser roster.
• How2Power.com: How2Power.com is a specialist online publication dedicated to power electronics design, including design articles, technical notes, and product news. It is one of the closest niche competitors to Power Electronics News because it targets the same narrowly-defined audience of power electronics design engineers.
• Embedded.com: Embedded.com is a sister AspenCore publication covering embedded systems engineering. While focused on a different sub-discipline, it shares the same parent, revenue model, content formats (articles, webinars, conferences), and advertiser base, making it a structurally identical peer within the network.
• All About Circuits: All About Circuits is an electronics engineering educational and news platform serving students, hobbyists, and professional engineers. It publishes technical articles, eBooks, and industry news with an ad-supported model, directly competing for power-electronics-relevant audience share.
• Electronic Design: Electronic Design is an established U.S. electronics engineering trade publication covering power, analog, embedded, and components. It targets the same design engineer audience with the same ad/sponsorship revenue model and offers one of the closest editorial-format comparisons outside the AspenCore network.

Regional players

• Electronics Weekly: Electronics Weekly is a long-established UK-based electronics engineering trade publication covering components, design, and industry news with a comparable ad-supported model. It serves the same engineering audience but with primary geographic focus on the UK and Europe rather than the U.S./global mix of Power Electronics News.
