Topics
In the rapidly evolving field of e-mobility, improving efficiency remains a challenge and opportunity for innovation. This industrial seminar offers an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in power electronics, focusing on Bosch Research’s developments in eDrive and energy management systems. Starting from the state of the art of todays eDrives in electric vehicles we will present solutions how to increase the driving range taking into account traction inverter and e-machine at the same time. The session will also delve into advancements in chargers and DC-DC converters, key components for optimizing energy management. Through these insights, we aim to highlight the emerging trends that promise to enhance e-mobility by improved performance and reduced energy losses and paving the way for a more sustainable future. |
Presenters:
Dr.-Ing. Christoph van Booven earned his degree in Electrical Engineering from RWTH Aachen University. He then joined Bosch, where he completed an industrial Ph.D. with the University of Kassel focused on on-board chargers for electric vehicles. Following his doctorate, he continued his work at Bosch, first on isolated high-voltage to low-voltage (HV/LV) DC/DC converters and later as a hardware architect for on-board chargers. Today, he is a research group leader for power electronics at Bosch, developing future powertrain inverters, chargers, and DC/DC converters for vehicle electrification
