Vehicles are intrinsically linked to our lives. This book covers
all technical details of the vehicle electrification process, with
focus on power electronics. The main challenge in vehicle
electrification consists of replacing the engine-based mechanical,
pneumatic, or hydraulic ancillary energy sources with electrical
energy processed through an electromagnetic device. The book
illustrates this evolutionary process with numerous
series-production examples for either of body or chassis systems,
from old milestones to futuristic luxury vehicles. Electrification
of ancillaries and electric propulsion eventually meet into an
all-electric vehicle and both processes rely heavily on power
electronics. Power electronics deals with electronic processing of
electrical energy. This makes it a support technology for the
automotive industry. All the automotive visions for the next decade
(2020-2030) are built on top of power electronics and the
automotive power electronics industry is expected at 15% compound
annual growth rate, the highest among all automotive technologies.
Hence, automotive power electronics industry is very appealing for
recent and future graduates. The book structure follows the
architecture of the electrical power system for a conventional
engine-based vehicle, with a last chapter dedicated to an
introduction onto electric propulsion. The first part of the book
describes automotive technologies for generation and distribution
of electrical power, as well as its usage within body systems,
chassis systems, or lighting. The second part explores deeper into
the specifics of each component of the vehicle electric power
system. Since cars have been on the streets for over 100 years,
each chapter starts with a list of historical achievements.
Recognizing the engineering effort span over more than a century
ennobles the R&D efforts of the new millennium. Focus on
history of electricity in vehicle applications is another
attractive treat of the book. The book fills a gap between books
targeting practical education and works sharing advanced academic
vision, offering students and academics a quick tour of the basic
tools and long-standing infrastructure, and offering practicing
engineers an introduction on newly introduced power
electronics-based technologies. It is therefore recommended as a
must-have book for students and early graduates in automotive power
electronics activities.
