Experimental Validation of Design Concepts for Future EV-Traction Inverters
Abstract
Numerous ideas to improve traction inverters for future electric vehicles were presented in literature. However, fair experimental comparisons of these concepts are rare. In this work, three highly-relevant concepts for traction systems are compared experimentally to a reference 2-level silicon IGBT inverter with a dc-link voltage of 400V. First, the dc-link voltage is increased from 400V to 800V. Secondly, the replacement of silicon IGBTs with silicon carbide MOSFETs. Thirdly, the usage of a three-level inverter instead of two-levels. To ensure a fair comparison, four prototypes with a nominal power of 80kW were constructed with fully use of carry-over parts and tested on two different test benches. The comparison is carried out regarding efficiency, total harmonic distortion, electromagnetic emission and technology readiness.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
