Integrated Power Electronics: The Road Merges

whitePaper | December 14, 2022

As electric vehicles have rapidly matured, certain features that were never necessary for internal combustion engines have become critical to EVs’ operation: a power distribution unit; a battery disconnect unit; an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) controller; a battery management system; an onboard charger; a DC-to-DC converter. The trend is reminiscent of the growth in internal combustion engines’ electrical/ electronic architectures, where each feature required an electronic control unit — a separate box that took up precious space within a vehicle chassis. Every box needed its own software, its own connectors and its own housings, all of which resulted in added complexity and cost.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, renewable energy generation has been steadily increasing as energy produced by fossil fuels decreases. While this is great news for facility owners looking to invest in renewable energy, the current U.S. electrical grid cannot support this growth rate without significant updates to technology and energy storage. Our white paper tracks the current state of the U.S power grid and addresses the challenges facility owners face when investing in renewable energy.
