Sponsored by Littelfuse Three scenarios with dedicated power electronic solutions As the electrification of heavy-duty or commercial vehicles gains more acceptance, charging larger batteries than the ones in electric passenger cars increases in importance. Because time is money, especially in logistics, the preferred options are increasing charging power or assigning idle times for charging. These… Read more »
Sponsored by NI Watch Steve Tarnowsky, Global Battery Cell Engineering Director at General Motors, talk about the Ultium platform and how they’re using NI SystemLink™ software to harness the power of their test data to reduce risk, improve engineering efficiency, and reduce time to insights and decisions.

Sponsored by Pickering interfaces Imagine the challenge. You work for an electric vehicle startup company, designing the Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) test system. Everything is new – the hardware, the software, the tools, the testers and the test code. Yet, the system must be as accurate as possible to simulate the operating environment correctly. You’re also… Read more »
EVs have gone mainstream. Automotive industry experts agree that it’s no longer a matter of if we’ll see more EVs on the road than traditional fuel-powered cars, but when, which represents a fundamental change in the way the automotive industry does business. There are clear reasons for the shift to EVs including environmental needs like… Read more »

Sponsored by HBK In recent years there has been an increased interest in electric and more electric aircraft, including both novel all-electric aircraft, drones, rigid air ships, and traditional aircraft with efficient and more electric components. Validating these systems and components has challenges due to the nature of aerospace testing as well as the high… Read more »
Sponsored by ODU E-mobility and hybrid vehicles are in the fast lane! Demand for alternative drive systems is higher than ever before. Despite all the developments and innovations, one thing remains the same: If you want to drive, you need an energy source. The fact that the “fuel” is increasingly no longer fossil-based, rather pure… Read more »
Sponsored by CSM Fuel cell powered vehicles are becoming an essential part of the electromobility transformation. The core component of the powertrain is the electrochemical reactor, known as the fuel cell stack. Commissioning is carried out on test benches where all essential functions are tested. Afterwards, the requirements for the entire fuel cell-electric drive are… Read more »
Sponsored by Aspen Aerogels Battery engineers face the daunting challenge of maximizing thermal runaway protection while optimizing vehicle performance. This task becomes even more critical as cell-to-pack and cell-to-chassis designs increase in popularity because manufacturers lose the added protection that can be built into a module-based design. Although newer chemistries such as LFP and solid-state… Read more »
Sponsored by Knowles Precision Devices Many power electronics today are being designed for use in high-temperature, high-voltage environments, such as inside electric vehicles. However, size, weight, and power (SWaP) are also key factors driving electronic product development. These conflicting design criteria are an issue for many electrical engineers because space is not available to simply add… Read more »
