CISSOID Power Semiconductors

I'm thrilled to share that I had the honor of attending the 25TH IEEE WORKSHOP ON CONTROL AND MODELING FOR POWER ELECTRONICS (IEEE COMPEL 2024), in Lahore, Pakistan with my colleague Teddy Bonnin and representing my company CISSOID Power Semiconductors. We presented our research paper titled 'Implementation and Validation of a Simplified Dead Time Compensation Scheme for a High-Power Space Vector Controlled SiC Inverter PMSM Drive'. It was an incredible experience to engage with the worldwide power electronics leaders from industry and academia, exchange innovative ideas, and disseminate cutting-edge products from CISSOID Power Semiconductors, particularly our SiC Inverter Reference Design and Inverter control module integrating this state-of-the-art research for the advancement of electric mobility. Looking forward to continuing these important developments and advancing the inverter design for future e-mobility applications. Disclaimer: This research work is jointly carried out, developed, and demonstrated by CISSOID Power Semiconductors and Silicon Mobility.

Inverters Modern inverters are including more intelligent features to work with other vehicle systems, reports Peter Donaldson. Inverters do the conceptually straightforward job of converting an electric current from DC into AC form. As such, they create an essential link between the energy storage system and the motor. Modern inverters use solid-state semiconductor switches, connected to form combinations of half-bridges and activated by smaller switching circuits known as gate drivers, which in turn are under the control of processors that implement control logic embodied in hardware, software or both. Inevitably, there is a push for greater efficiency to reduce energy losses during power conversion and thereby eke more mileage from a battery charge, says an expert from a developer of advanced semiconductors and control algorithms. At the same time, vehicle OEMs and powertrain specialists are pushing for lighter, more compact inverters without sacrificing performance. High torque- and power-density in both volume and weight terms are crucial to save space in a vehicle and reduce its overall weight, particularly as inverters are integrated into electric drive units (EDUs). To meet these demands, inverter developers are increasingly turning to wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). Compared with silicon insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), transistors made from these two materials can operate at higher temperatures, voltages and switching frequencies, all of which contribute to higher power-density and efficiency. However, this also generates more heat in smaller spaces, driving the need for advanced thermal management. Inverters are expected to work in vehicles for decades over hundreds of thousands of miles in a wide range of conditions, so reliability and durability are important. In early electric vehicles, the inverter was engineered as a stand-alone unit, but the recent shift to integration with other components brings challenges in optimising packaging, says a specialist in electric machines, power electronics and control systems. Understanding the location of the inverter on the vehicle, along with the associated environmental constraints that must be considered, has an impact on engineering and development requirements.

📊 Market & Technology – DC Charging for Automotive 2024   DC EV #charging represents a relatively new business opportunity for #powerelectronics players. This market will be sustainable since an increasing number of charging points are deployed year after year, and soon the issue of replacement will emerge. AC chargers will remain as long as onboard Chargers (OBCs) exist by default in cars; OBCs will remain as long as DC infrastructure is not strongly consolidated ‘everywhere’ (likely in 10-15 years). The total #EV DC charging system market will reach $23 billion by 2029. Demand for high-power chargers is rapidly increasing. By 2029, the largest #market segment will be for very high-power chargers, valued at $9.2B.   👉 Discover our forecasts, market metrics, main players, technological trends and much more in our report: https://lnkd.in/eqU9D8wj   ✍ Hassan CHEAITO ; Dr. Milan ROSINA; Yu YANG
