    Abstract

    To realise the full potential of hybrid and all electric vehicle technologies, a step change is required in the performance of the DC-DC converter systems that connect the energy storage device and traction drive. This paper describes the work being done by a consortium to address these performance issues. It describes the requirements of such converters and details the electronics development of high efficiency converter techniques, thermal management design and health monitoring strategies and supports this work showing the results of simulation and prototype testing.
