Booth/Hall: t.b.a.
PCIM Europe, the leading trade fair and conference for power electronics, will be held in Nuremberg from 6 - 8 May 2025.
Fraunhofer IZM will be presenting its entire range of services from in the realm of power electronics at PCIM – covering everything from system design and packaging technologies for power electronics up to reliability aspects and cooling concepts.
Project
The energy transition is one of the greatest challenges of our time. A key factor for its success is the efficient use of electrical energy, whether in household appliances, industrial plants or electric vehicles. A promising approach to increasing efficiency lies in the further development of power semiconductors, particularly through the use of low-inductance power modules with silicon carbide (SiC) technology.
At the “Dauerpower” project, an innovative inverter for electric vehicles was developed, enhancing efficiency and performance through improved cooling management and the use of silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors. The goal was to boost drive system performance, extend component lifespan, and reduce production costs. The entire system, including both hardware and software, was developed from the ground up.
The vehicle's own charger, the On-Board charger (OBC), is the key to universal charging - and therefore a key component for the future of e-mobility. Fraunhofer IZM has now succeeded in combining some of the latest achievements in the field of power electronics for the next generation of on-board chargers. The result: twice the charging power with half the volume, plus bidirectional and machine-manufactured. A cost-effective solution and a signpost for the shortcut to the future.
