Powering the future: next generation power converters for electric vehicles. A key limitation of electric vehicles (EVs) is the inefficiency of the battery charging and power delivery system, which translates directly into a vehicle’s range, charging time, and cost. This project aims to fundamentally advance power electronics technologies for next-generation EVs by leveraging the latest developments in electronics through modelling, simulation, optimisation, and prototypes. Expected outcomes include significant improvements in efficiency, reliability and form factor of modular bidirectional power systems. This will benefit the advanced manufacturing sector through industry partners & global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through improved EV performance and accelerated transition from fossil fuel sources.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4009 - Electronics, Sensors and Digital Hardware. Lead: A/Prof Yam Siwakoti
