BEV/PHEVs provide a number of advantages including superior driver comfort and lower emissions. However, there are a number of technical challenges which still impede their widespread adoption, such as the unexpected and unbalanced load on the grid, and cost and range anxiety. Therefore, power suppliers and automotive manufacturers are working towards V2G...

EV/HEVs provide a number of advantages including superior driver comfort and lower emissions. However there are a number of technical challenges which still impede their widespread adoption. Cost, safety and range anxiety are topical issues and so automotive manufacturers go to great lengths to reduce the weight of their vehicles to improve performance. I...

TRASiCA will demonstrate the gains in performance and system lifetime that can be brought about in the traction industry by integrating silicon carbide (SiC) power device technology into existing systems. A ‘hybrid SiC’ power module incorporating SiC power diodes with state-of-the-art Si trench IGBTs will be produced for Dynex Semiconductor’s customer Fer...

To develop a general and extensible software platform to simulate the operation of a wide range electrical machine topologies and power converters to enable rule based selection of power devices for specific electric vehicle applications.

The advantages brought by Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (HEV/EV) such as being environmentally friendly, less dependent on fossil fuels, cost effective in long term operation etc, HEV/EV has highly focused governments and car manufacturers. Power control is essential in HEV/EV powertrain systems of which the core part is the power IGBT modules. The require...

This project will demonstrate a novel cost effective compact diesel electric propulsion system initially for bus vehicle application that fits within the current space envelope of a diesel engine and, due to its wide application (as it is suitable for retrofit as well as new build), will deliver significant reductions in CO2 emissions compared to current ...

The improvement of the UKs energy infrastructure is critical moving into a low carbon economy. A paradigm shift in technology will be required in order to cope effectively with an ever increasing amount of renewable energy being brought online. The UK has committed to connecting 32,000 MW of offshore wind power by the year 2030 in an effort to meet ambiti...

Direct State of Health Measurement for Power Devices (DiSoHM) is a project which brings together academia and industry with the objective of developing an in-situ health monitoring device that is able to detect and quantify the health of a power electronics module. DiSoHM wil dramatically increase the availability of power electronics systems embedded in ...

A collaborative project will be undertaken between Versarien Technologies Limited, Applied Materials Technology Limited and Dynex Semiconductor Limited which will seek to develop a technology capable of providing world leading thermal management specifically for use in the power electronic modules of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles....

DC/DC converters are essential in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. These electronic devices step-up or step-down the battery voltage to a voltage level that suits the electric motor, the cabin supply or other essential loads. Current DC/DC converters are still expensive and heavy. A consortium of six UK manufacturers (Lotus, Turbo Power System, Indu...
