Project PE2M is about producing power electronics modules containing silicon carbide semiconductors by packaging using novel encapsulants. The use of rapidly mouldable encapsulants to package SiC devices enables several key innovations. They can be filled with other materials to enhance thermal conductivity without compromising electrical resistivity; the...

Public description Most vehicles run on fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. Their exhaust gases are responsible for most of the carbon dioxide (associated with global warming) and particulate emissions (that can cause athsma) in the UK at present. Making these vehicles electrically driven moves all emissions away from the tailpipe of the vehicle, and if r...

Power electronics is an enabling technology that is critical to the successful emergence of electric and hybrid vehicles. Common building blocks of miniaturised smart power elements, which can accommodate conventional or wide bandgap semiconductors and control electronics, will be required to meet a range of applications in electric and hybrid vehicles, i...

There is a growing need to generate, convert and distribute electric power from the source to the load, which is fulfilled through the use of power electronics. This is of importance for electric and hybrid vehicles, industrial drives, smart appliances, the smart grid and all renewable energy sources. Packaging and assembly of the power electronics module...

Legislation is driving major changes in the way that certain industries designs and manufactures its products to make them more environmentally friendly and less polluting. In automotive, emissions controls are challenging designers to produce ever lighter vehicles, which has driven them to consider incorporating less dense materials such as polymer compo...
