Title: "Hybrid Electric Vehicle EMI Challenges"

Presenter: Gary Skibinski

Affiliation: Rockwell Automation 

 

 

Abstract:

High voltage inverters and motors used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles face similar but somewhat different EMC challenges as drive systems connected to the grid. The presentation first focuses on generation and control of common mode and differential mode EMI noise as applied to the Battery-Dive-Cable-Motor Power Train. Possible noise sources and their frequency spectrum emitted from the drive will be identified as well as EMI reduction calculations and low cost solutions to reduce EMI. Inverter, cable and motor coupling paths in mobile applications are mostly parasitic driven so that a summary of recent work done on how to obtain high frequency cable and high frequency motor models is presented. Discussion of shielding & bonding techniques is highlighted. Lastly, simulation tools to study conducted noise that lead to radiated noise is shown.

 

Biography:

Dr. Gary L. Skibinski is a Fellow Engineer at Rockwell Automation Drives Division working on Power Electronics for 34 years. He received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin on Zero Switching Loss Inverters. He has contributed articles for 2 IEEE Press books, 64 IEEE papers with 19 paper awards, several trade magazine articles, IEEE sponsored Drives & EMI seminars and 34 US patents. He is chair for IEEE Std. 518 - Noise Standard Revision for IEEE IAS Society and participant to NEMA and IEC SC22G WG11 Adjustable Speed Drive Std. He has worked on solid-state starters, DC/AC servos, AC drives using SCR, BJT, and IGBT semi-conductors, switch mode power supplies and UPS systems. “Mobile” EMC adventures have been on the GM Test Track ride at Disneyworld, Rocket Rod at Disneyland, fire trucks, HEV military trucks, and streetcars.

Title: “Battery Pack and Shielded Cable Considerations for HEV Bench Level EMC Testing”
Presenter: James Muccioli
Authors: James Muccioli & Dale Sanders
 

 

Abstract:

For Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (HEV), EMC requirements offer new and challenging issues for Automotive Engineers. Although vehicle emissions and immunity levels are essentially unchanged, EMC component and system bench level requirements and test methods for high voltage/current technology are still being defined. Competitive advantages as well as the cost for research and development are also significant factors. This presentation will look at the HEV battery pack and associated interfaces using System Engineering to highlight requirements, trade-offs and challenges to correlate bench level EMC testing to vehicle level testing.

 

Biography:

James P. Muccioli is an EMC consultant and owner of Jastech EMC Consulting LLC for the past 25 years. Additionally he has worked for X2Y Attenuators, Chrysler and United Technologies as Chief Technical Officer, EMC expert and System Engineer. He has taught EMC undergraduate courses & Professional Education seminars at Lawrence Technological University and at the University of Michigan. He is an iNARTE certified EMC & ESD Engineer and a member of SAE J-1113, SAE J-551 and SAE IC EMC Task Force (chair person). He received an IEEE Fellow in 1998 for contributions to integrated circuit design practices to minimize electromagnetic interference and has served on the IEEE EMC Society Board of Directors (1993-1998 & 2001-2003).

Title: Simulation of cable interference and emissions in vehicle power systems
Presenter: David P. Johns PhD
Affiliation: VP Engineering, CST of America

Abstract
The use of high voltage power systems in hybrid and electric vehicles adds to the already considerable challenges in meeting automotive EMC requirements. The switching associated with power converters or inverters can generate differential and common noise that propagates in cabling and interferes with other electronics systems. This presentation will explore techniques for modeling the power system EMC problem and assessing interference between cables routed in close proximity. The effect of cable imbalance will be discussed and also a comparison of shielded and unshielded cable coupling.

Bio
Dr David P. Johns is the VP of Engineering and Support for CST of America. He received his PhD in Electromagnetic Analysis from Nottingham University (UK) in 1996 for developing a new 3D frequency-domain TLM method. He contributed to the development of CST's 3D time-domain TLM code MICROSTRIPES and in particular efficient techniques for modeling current diffusion, apertures and wires. David has over 20 years of electromagnetic simulation experience and specializes in the modeling of real world EMC/EMI problems. He is a regular speaker at IEEE EMC conferences and chapter meetings and recently the co-chair of the IEEE EMC Symposium Workshop "How to simplify real-world complex systems into realistic, solvable, accurate models".
