Current Issue
Discover the cover stories of the current issue and get a small insight into the magazine world of ATZelectronics. We hope you are interested in more.
Cover Story – Power Electronics
Optimization of the internal design and control of power semiconductor modules
With the use of the semiconductor material silicon carbide in power semiconductors for electric traction drives, their optimal control through novel gate units as well as a similar electromagnetic design becomes extremely important. Similarly, the efficiency gains fundamentally possible with low-loss SiC semiconductors can only be successfully realized through good thermal design, which requires optimal current sharing within the
modules.
In Focus
The car as buffer storage
E-vehicles can help stabilize the power grid by acting as buffer
storage: Worldwide, there have been over 50 relevant pilot projects of varying scale for bidirectional charging in the last 10 years. Germany, on the other hand, has so far concentrated on unidirectional charging of electrified cars using the same charging infrastructure. By no means all new electric vehicles have a charging converter on board as standard. This suggests that the topic of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is not considered urgent in Europe – but it is.
Light Systems
Software and hardware for high-resolution automotive lighting systems
Digital lighting technologies are a key element for improving the quality of existing vehicle lighting systems as well as for implementing completely new features. The success factors for their realization lie in the main areas of functional scope and technology: the complex mechatronic-optical systems want to be mastered if widespread use is the goal.
Cover Story – Simulation and Testing
SOVD – the diagnostic standard of
tomorrow
The transformation of the electronic vehicle architecture to centralized high-performance computers also necessitates changes in diagnostic procedures. Under the name Service Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics (SOVD), the Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems (ASAM) is currently preparing a standardization of the new diagnostic structure. As Softing shows below, today’s diagnostic tools, such as the so-called Smart Diagnostic Engine, already offer the potential to cover future requirements.
Artificial Intelligence
Human-machine interfaces are becoming more intelligent
The technical progress of new vehicle generations supports driving safety and is intended to provide greater driving comfort. At the same time, however, there is a growing risk that the increasing number of systems and information themselves will become a distraction and thus a safety risk for vehicle users. The way vehicles interact with their passengers is therefore becoming increasingly important – as a safety factor and also as a purchasing criterion when choosing a vehicle.
