Wide Bandgap (WBG) Power Electronics Systems for Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/314345Dear Colleagues, Students and IEEE Members, Hope that you are fine and in good health. You are kindly invited to attend the online webinar entitled: "Wide Bandgap (WBG) Power Electronics Systems for Heavy-Duty Vehicles". The speaker will be the distinguish lecturer Prof. Brij N. Singh, Ph.D., IEEE Fellow. This event is organized by the IEEE - Lebanon Joint Chapter, IE13/PE31/CAS04/PEL35 and NDU IEEE student branch. It will be held on Saturday May 21th from 5:00 to 6:00 PM (Beirut time) on MS Teams Platform. Abstract of the talk: This presentation will discuss public information related to John Deere project funded by the US DOE-PowerAmerica. Through PowerAmerica, John Deere has formed a collaboration with researchers from the US Department of Energy National Renewable Energy Laboratory to develop a 200 kW 1050 VDC silicon carbide (SiC) dual-inverter. The SiC inverter converts vehicle engine power into electrical power needed for the permanent-magnet-motor based powertrain used in heavy-duty construction and mining vehicles. The presentation will cover development and test verification of various technologies deployed in the successful realization of a power-dense (43 kW/Liter) high-temperature (suitable for 115°C coolant) high-efficiency (> 98% over entre range of coolant) SiC dual-inverter. John Deere successfully demonstrated the SiC inverter in a JD 644K Hybrid Loader, using the engine radiator fluid to cool the SiC power electronics. The DOE-PowerAmerica funding has greatly supported John Deere’s aspirations to accelerate the development of SiC inverter technology including realization of key commercialization objectives.
