Special Session SS01

Energy Conversion Techniques in Transportation Electrification

---

Introduction:

Transportation electrification is widely recognized as one of the most effective ways towards reduction of global carbon emissions, particularly for China’s commitment of “Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality”. Although the first electric vehicle in the history was invented not much later than the first fuel-burning vehicle, their development has been rather sluggish ever since. In the past decade, however, thanks to the fast evolvement of chemical batteries, EVs have started to challenge the market position long enjoyed by fuel-burning vehicles, and shown signs of success in various degrees around the world. But before they can gain more market share globally, more R&D from industry and academia should be devoted to their core technologies related to batteries, motors and electronic control systems, to make them more efficient, compacter and more reliable. Transportation electrification is nevertheless limited to road vehicles. For instance, aircrafts in low altitude, is being actively advocated by many countries. But requirements to their energy conversion systems pose larger challenges.

With an aim to facilitate the development of the energy conversion system in transportation electrification, and to provide a stage for researchers across industry and academia to exchange their latest research outcome, this special session calls for the contribution not limited from the following areas:
1. Highly efficient, highly compact motor design and analysis;
2. Advanced motor control;
3. NVH suppression in the drive trains;
4. Efficient and compact power converter topologies and their modulation;
5. Design and control of energy storage systems, such as chemical batteries, fuel cells, etc.
6. Fault diagnosis, fault tolerant control and fault tolerant design of energy conversion systems;
7. Application of latest technologies, such as AI and digital twins, to design, operation and maintenance of energy conversion systems.
