Downloadable ebook from Vicor shares insights into new power conversion & battery trends & technologies, including case studies, to support vehicle electrification.
High-performance power module specialist, Vicor has launched its brand-new ebook for automotive customers. The new ebook – ‘A better way to accelerate vehicle electrification’ – provides in-depth technical insights into the battery technologies used within the automotive industry through case studies and articles.
The automotive industry is racing to electrify their fleets, driven by consumer demand, regulatory pressure and technological advances. Electrification increases electrical power requirements in vehicles from less than 3kW in a conventional combustion engine to over 50kW in a battery-powered EV (electric vehicle). The nearly 20x increase puts a significant strain on the electrical power delivery network, adding cost, complexity, size and weight to EVs.
To support OEMs, Vicor’s latest ebook seeks to address the challenges electrification can pose particularly for designers faced with diverse power delivery networks. It examines alternatives to the 12V battery, the 400v-800v fast-charging incompatibility dilemma and how to optimise an automobile power delivery network. Engineers will learn the benefits of adopting a modular approach using compact and efficient lightweight power modules with high power density.
‘A better way to accelerate vehicle electrification’ covers hot topics in automotive, including:
• Size & weight challenges of automotive electrification
• Optimisation of the complete EV power delivery network
• Range anxiety, as it relates to 400v-800v DC-DC fast-charging infrastructures
• The future of the 12V lead acid battery
