Keynote
Powering the Future of EVs by Driving Power Density
以功率密度提升，驱动电动汽车的未来发展
As the world moves towards global electrification, innovation on multiple fronts is required to create highly efficient EV systems. Innovations on control systems, modules for power stages, semiconductors, new materials for thermal management and operating systems at higher frequencies allow for EV systems to become more efficient.
In this talk, we will discuss new semiconductors that can switch high voltages at higher frequencies. The advantages of switching at higher frequencies translates to higher efficiency of the EV motor and inverter leading to lower costs for the EV. We will also discuss thermal management options for the power stages so we can push the existing semiconductors to deliver more power increasing the power density of the system.
