his article covers the
challenges in implementing
power electronics and drive
systems in emerging vehicle
applications. the application
of power electronics becomes important for
higher energy density, decreased fuel consumption, performance and productivity
enhancements, and desired protection, diagnostic, and safety features. a sustained effort
is needed on power electronics and electric
drive system design to achieve the desired
level of performance. there can be numerous machines/drives of various types and
power levels in a system. in numerous
applications, the driving torque varies
considerably over a given work cycle,
including the occurrence of the stall condition. therefore, the drive system should have a reliable
ride-through capability. to achieve the desired torque/speed
profile and dynamic response, a systematic design, development,
and deployment of the power electronics-based electric drive system
is needed. the application conditions make it difficult to match/exceed
mechanical system reliability and costs. therefore, this article covers the
