Volkswagen Group Components is already developing and manufacturing 1-gear eDrive transmissions and electric machines as well as the battery systems.
As a consequent next step, to provide a system-optimized drive unit with its main components inverter, gearbox and e-machine, the inverter formerly bought from Tier 1 suppliers will also be developed and produced in-house. As a key for our success the Software of our inverters will be as well developed in-house by Cariad, our independent automotive software company within the Volkswagen Group.
Within our interdisciplinary development teams, we conduct the entire design, development and testing process of electric drivetrains, especially for power electronics.
Our target is to provide best in class power electronics from technology and price point of view.

Paving the way to type-examination certification with automated, precise and reliable energy measurement
Patrick Fuchs
The increasing number of registered electric vehicles is driving rapid growth in supporting infrastructure as well. The EU Green Deal targets 1 million charging points by 2025. These charging stations must bill according to strict requirements of, amongst others, the “Eichrecht”, in accordance with directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament on the development of infrastructure for alternative fuels. This directive mandates precise energy measurement by the charging stations, respectively their integrated energy meters. To ensure adherence to government/EU requirements for the finished product, it is advisable to already accompany the R&D process with a suitable way of verifying compliance in order to prepare for mandatory type examination certification.
11.40-11.55
Plexim GmbH
Code Generation for Microcontrollers
Jeroen Buitendijk
PLEXIM will present a live demonstration of code generation using PLECS. Building a power electronic system usually involves writing controller software that runs on a microcontroller. PLECS allows users to design and simulate the controller using a simple block-based GUI. Then, PLECS programs the microcontroller based on the user design using code generation.
12.00-12.15
Hioki
Effect of Phase Error in Power Measurement
Mr. Jaysheel Dave
Since the introduction of high power high frequency power electronic switches such as SiC and GaN semiconductors, precise power measurement has become more challenging. The smallest error in phase delay can result in large uncertainties in the power measurement. In this session, Jaysheel Dave will introduce the technology and advantages to compensate the phase delay error and other HIOKI solutions for the next generation power analysis.
While others struggle in measuring power with precision at high frequencies, HIOKI has introduced a technology, which helps users to measure the power without any error in phase delay. With the introduction of the brand-new power analyzer PW8001 and latest series of HIOKI’s own current sensors, this has become even easier.
12.20-12.35
ROHM Semiconductor

In this presentation we will present our new 4th Generation SiC Trench MOSFET.
In addition to component information and support tools some of the key benefits of the new generation of SiC MOSFETs will be discussed and a brief outlook on suitable gate drive ICs is also given.
12.40-12.55
Fraunhofer IWES
Modern methods for the validation of grid-connected power generation units in the multi-megawatt power range
Torben Jersch
The connection of decentralised energy generation systems to the electricity grids requires compliance with the corresponding grid connection rules. In the past, this validation was often provided by field testing. Due to the increased power of the systems, especially wind turbines, the effort of a corresponding validation is becoming greater and more prolonged and it is increasingly difficult to find test locations.
With the transformation of the grids to converter-dominated power grids, new problems (TOVs, harmonics and varying grid impedances) arise, which must be taken into account in the converter design and under which these systems must guarantee safe operation. One tries to avoid these problems by means of extensive large EMT simulations and thus to determine requirements for the design and control.
Fraunhofer IWES is developing methods and test facilities that are capable of performing current tests reproducibly on test benches and answering future questions. Due to the multi-megawatt power class, there are inherent technological problems involved. The presentation gives an overview of the state of the art methodologies and infrastructure as well as an outlook on future challenges.

Opal-RT
Overcoming challenges of HIL-Simulation of fast-switching Power Electronics
Timo Rösch
As a result of increasing power density and a strive for reduced harmonics the trend for ever faster switching frequencies continues. However, switching frequencies of hundreds of kHz as well as complex converter topologies such as Dual-Active Bridge converters and resonant converters bring challenges for accurate Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation. We present how these challenges are overcome with our latest generation FPGA-based solver running at time-steps significantly below 1µs.
13.40-13.55

Teledyne GmbH
In-Depth Analysis of Power Conversion Circuits – A Comparison of Measuring Tools
Dirk Weber
Power Converters are complex electronic devices. To understand their behaviour under all operational conditions (static and dynamic), a large count of signals from different domains need to be acquired simultaneously and time-aligned with sufficient resolution, followed by extensive signal processing. This includes high voltage and high current signals as well as high speed logic and bus signals and, in some cases, physical sensor signals. Typical power analyzers and oscilloscopes can perform very well in many aspects, but what would be a good way to gain a full understanding of the complete system behaviour under varying operational and load conditions?
