Thank you to JLR and Tim Williams for hosting us at the recent project review for the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK's Hi-VIBES project. Understandably we weren't allowed to photograph the new #electricvehicle #RangeRovers 🚙 that incorporate hardware developed by JLR during this project, so we had to make do with this image of an I-PACE 🚘 chassis and battery🔋pack instead! Great to catch up with fellow collaborators University of Nottingham, Lyra Electronics Ltd and OSI Electronics UK and can't wait to see the new vehicles on the road. #industrialisation #landrover

Huge thank you to Lyra Electronics Ltd for the opportunity to undergo work experience this past week! During our week of work experience, two other students and I began a project to create a heat sensor circuit that changes display based on heat. To develop this, we had to learn a great deal about software, electrical, and mechanical engineering, as well as project management as a whole. For the software aspect, we tinkered with code, regulated temperature readings, and created critical points for LEDs to flash. In terms of electrical engineering, we learned to develop a circuit, connect all necessary components, and design an efficient layout which we soldered together on a veroboard. Furthermore, we thoroughly discussed and designed a suitable enclosure for our circuit, which had to show all LEDs and the display, as well as have the heat sensor outside the enclosure. Finally, we modeled our design in CAD to be 3D printed and tested it to ensure it met the brief. In addition to project engineering, Lyra also taught us how companies function, with essential departments such as HR, Project Management, Business Development, etc. To end, we held a presentation for our department managers, presenting the project we developed and what we learnt during our time there. Overall, I am extremely grateful to Lyra Electronics Ltd for this opportunity. Having learned a wealth of knowledge about project engineering, I am inspired to undertake personal projects in the future. 😁

⚙ Anchoring next-generation BEV technology in the UK Led by BMW UK, project FutureBEV focused on improving inverter technology to allow faster charging, higher performance, and greater efficiency. Supported by £13 million of government match-funding, this £26 million project has brought together expertise from Custom Interconnect Limited, Lyra Electronics Ltd, Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult, and University of Warwick to strengthen the power electronics supply chain in the UK for BEVs.

Accelerated Technologies for Future Battery Electric Vehicles (@FutureBEV) aimed to create competitive powertrains in function and costs and enable UK technology transformation to zero emission mobility. Premium automotive global company BMW Group (David Bock pictured below) brought together a development team to include Custom Interconnect Limited (John Boston pictured below) (CIL) and Lyra Electronics Ltd from industry and Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult (CSAC) and the University of Warwick (UoW) for this Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC 15) project. Together the team has worked to develop UK content of sub components for the inverter supply chain and system capability for future electromobility addressing UK Government targets for industrial growth. Following yesterdays industry capabilities update, The University of Warwick and CSA Catapult undertook ambitious capability development to ensure that they could support the demanding testing required by AQG324 (power module testing standard) and to support the UK automotive sector in engaging with these emerging standards. Both partners are now able to offer deep domain expertise to stakeholders. CSA Catapult built a unique simulation suite, supported by deep component measurement data and sophisticated simulation methodologies, to create accurate thermal and electrical simulations and performance predictions. The University of Warwick and CSA Catapult worked together to prove the predicted values from simulation and to optimise the final design into a market leading offering. The Engineering Department at the University of Warwick, supported by WMG, provided underpinning support to the industrial partners in the project. The University has a long history of work in SiC devices, packaging and testing. During this project it built up a comprehensive test facility for both power modules and Inverter testing. This included the development of a novel gate drive which is fully flexible and can be used to drive both SiC MOSFETs and Si IGBTs. In addition, it developed a high-power double pulse test facility, as well as other reliability test capabilities. The team also delivered a power hardware in the loop (PHIL) facility capable of testing an inverter at full power whilst emulating the full vehicle dynamics under arbitrary drive cycle conditions. This has been used by the industrial partners in the project. #technology #collaboration #apc15 #batteryelectricvehicle #bmw #lyra #cil #csac #universityofwarwick #consortium #AtfutureBEV #futureBEV #consortium #pcbdesign #pcbamanufacturing #powermodulemanufacturing #siliconcarbide #sic #powerelectronics #IGBT # MOSFET #SiC #PHIL
