PPPEAC hosted an IEEE PELS Distinguished Lecture on Monday, November 15, 2021, from 4:30 to 5:30 PM. The lecture ran on Zoom, hosted by Princeton University. Prof. Dragan Maksimović of the University of Colorado Boulder was the speaker.
High-Efficiency, High-Density Composite Converters for Electric Drivetrain Applications
The talk covers composite SiC power converter designs that reduce device stress and passive component size in electric vehicle and electrified aircraft drivetrains. It presents a design method and a 125 kW prototype. The prototype reaches 21.3 kW/L power density and 99% drive-cycle weighted efficiency.
