19. PhD-student Integrated electric powertrains for the next generation EVs 

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Within ESME, the electrical machines and power electronics research team is looking for a qualified and motivated candidate to perform academic research on cost effective, compact and integrated electric powertrains for the next generation EVs, targeting a PhD. In this research, the traction inverter and motor combination will be used to create an electric gear, as well as to introduce an on-board charger functionality. This will require adaptations to the traction inverter and motor. In the traction inverter, additional reconfiguration switches will be added to allow operation in the different modes. In the electric motor, the coils will be split up into multiple modules that can be rearranged as a function of the operation mode. Finally, this new traction inverter will be physically integrated into a (in-wheel) motor using the latest SiC-FET technology.
