The expected growth in EV production creates a challenge for engineering teams responsible for SiC IC production. Catch the perspective from Frank Heidemann on how engineers will need to address these roadblocks with improved test systems and changes that reduce throughput times for both test and inspection processes. https://bit.ly/45lWsO4

Producing EV cell in Cylindrical Cell Format 46XX is not easy, but the trends is clear: more production capacity is ramping up from multiple suppliers. OneD SINANODE is being used today in producing EV cell prototypes in this format, as per request from customers. In addition to technical data concerning the manufacturing process and the performance of the cell prototypes, OneD also aims to provide detailed data to its customers to show that the SINANODE process drives the costs down. This is critical for making affordable EVs, since EV batteries must be produced at large scale and lower cost to meet market demand. SINANODE is the only silicon anode manufacturing process that: (1) adds nano-silicon to EV-grade natural graphites from qualified suppliers; (2) deploys large-scale silane gas production at low cost in a co-located manufacturing plant; (3) scales-up to support millions of EV battery pack per year (4) lowers the costs of EV batteries, thanks to proven low variable costs and low capex costs. Stay tuned for more details about our pilot program and large-scale plants. https://lnkd.in/g5azxkKj #evbatteries

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers have published an insightful article authored by the The Faraday Institution about challenges within electric vehicle battery development. The article focuses on the complex topic of battery degradation and how derating strategies are being explored to help maintain optimum health during the lifespan of the battery. Considerable progress has been made in battery cell technology in the last few years, and it will continue to be a focus for years to come. For instance, our engineering team has spent the last 18 months developing a thermal management solution that supports extending cell life, optimising performance, and improving safety within EV battery packs.

Testing Considerations for Wide Bandgap-Based EV Powertrains By Michael Rietvelt, Yokogawa Europe B.V. Most electronics systems today rely on MOSFETs. Compared to traditional bipolar transistors, they need almost no input current to control the load current. However, they have a short life and high susceptibility to overload voltages. Newer materials are offering significant improvements over silicon-based devices, giving lower losses and higher speeds as well as lower costs. These new materials include silicon-carbide (SiC) and gallium-nitride (GaN). Here, the test implications are discussed. A major characteristic of these GaN and SiC materials is their wider bandgap - an energy range in a solid where no electrons can exist. The wider the bandgap, the higher the voltage and temperature it can sustain. Compared to silicon, GaN semiconductors are inherently more… READ MORE https://lnkd.in/e8bsni-e Terry Marrinan Clare Louise Reader Dawn White Callie Bingley Natasha Henderson Kelvin Hagebeuk Kees Wesselink Philip Lewis Kath Deeley Emma Bundy

COORDINATION BATTERY CELL PRODUCTION IN EUROPE // Battery cell production in Europe is strongly supported by politicians, but how can European suppliers compete with Asian suppliers? A consortium can help to establish a real alternative in Europe. However, starting up and physically establishing battery cell production requires a range of expertise, from project development to process engineering. Our colleagues at EDAG Production Solutions support the coordination of such a consortium with their expertise in the areas of plant planning and optimisation, the digitalisation of processes and experience in simulation and virtual commissioning. This is already demonstrated by the involvement of our employees in various committees and consortia in battery cell production.
