Project Timeline: Dic 2022 – Nov 2024
Objectives
A new generation of DC-DC converters with high voltage steps, very high power density, and high efficiency must be developed to advance the electrification process of vehicles and aircrafts, which seeks to reduce the environmental impact of these means of transport. The general objective of this proposal is the generation of scientific knowledge to make it possible to face the enormous challenges posed by the design of this new generation of DC-DC power converters, with a special focus on aspects related to the generation, propagation, and mitigation of electromagnetic emissions.
By contributing to the necessary transition toward electrification in the automotive and aerospace industries, the final goal of this project is to increase the sustainability of transportation.
