LightBattery Pack for high power applications
Electric and hybrid propulsion systems require a battery pack
with very high performance, especially in terms of power density. In the Clean
Sky 2 LiBAT project (funded by the European Union), a consortium formed by the
companies TWT Gmbh and Lion Smart Gmbh, supported by the Universities of London
City and Liverpool John Moores, has developed and tested an ambitious battery
pack prototype integrating thermal management and power conversion functions.
For this, innovative multi-level inverter technology is used to convert
electrical power while minimizing hardware. The presentation describes the
developed technology, and emphasizes the contribution of simulation throughout
development.

SiCRET :
Silicon Carbide Reliability Evaluation for Transport
The project deals with the
maturity assessment of Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductor technology by:
i) taking in consideration the most advanced commercial and quasi-commercial
solutions, ii) tackling the most limiting drawbacks by systematically investigating
the underlying physics of failure for given usage profile; iii) establishing
guidelines to define adequate qualification test strategy depending on
application use profile ; iiii) definition of qualification test strategy and
establishment of mitigation solution such as design guidelines/recommendations
(SOA / Robustness / Derating rules for Safety Margins).
Enable
end-user to overcome the barriers to adoption and accelerate time-to-markets.

Novel encapsulation resin with high thermal conductivity for the protection of power module in harsh environment : PROTAVIC PTS 80001
This workshop will present a
single-component liquid electrical insulating resin with very high thermal
conductivity (> 4.2 w / mK) and polymerization at room temperature, meeting
the specifications of the electronics industry, in particular for encapsulation
of power electronic components when they are subjected to harsh environments
requiring very high heat dissipation such as power converters or battery
chargers based on SiC and GaN technologies.

Electrification of embedded systems: Passive components in front of electrical and thermal requirements
In embedded systems, research of electrical performances is associated
to weight and volume reduction. The result is important thermal and electrical
constraints. Associating technical skills of its different activities (bus
bars, thermal management, capacitors, …), Mersen offers to answer to these
challenges. First, developing laminated bus bars with optimized designs (very
low inductance) and working on integration in power systems. But also improving
thermal management, thanks to more thermal resistant components (bus bars up to
180°C) or with high-efficiency cooling solutions.
