Seminar Description: The ongoing electric transition in the automotive sector is universally recognized as a key driving force toward zero CO2 emissions. Leading car and truck manufacturers worldwide are heavily investing in Electric Vehicles (EVs), creating a growing demand for new, highly qualified professionals in this field.
Politecnico di Torino, Italy, plays a prominent role on both the national and European stage. The Department of Energy “Galileo Ferraris” and the Power Electronics Innovation Center (PEIC) engage in advanced research in collaboration with several automotive leaders and offer top-tier education. Innovation is integral to our work, especially in driving the adoption of wide-bandgap semiconductors within the automotive industry. This seminar offers a comprehensive, design-oriented journey through modern automotive powertrains. Starting from the fundamentals of machine design and its challenges, we move through motor drive development, modern control strategies, and conclude with semiconductor technologies and reliability considerations. The content is enriched with practical case studies based on real-world experiences from PEIC.
The material is tailored for beginner to intermediate participants, ensuring accessibility while maintaining depth.
