Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors offer better switching and lower losses, and it is not uncommon to utilize them for high power density, high-efficiency applications. Gallium nitride (GaN) and Silicon carbide (SiC) are the most common WBG materials that are responsible for major switching level changes relative to silicon (Si) devices. This paper explores the contrast of performance between Si, SiC, and GaN devices. The output performance of Si, SiC, and GaN power devices includes efficiency, energy bandgap, thermal conductivity, carrier mobility, saturation speed, power density, switching characteristics, and conduction losses. This article also proposes a Vienna rectifier with GaN materials, which operates as a front-end rectifier on a high-density battery charger targeted at high-performance applications such as electric vehicle charging stations, aircraft applications, and welding power sources. The system would reduce the total harmonics distortion (THD) to less than 5%, and the power factor would be increased to unity to satisfy the IEEE-519 standard.

Abstract The free piston linear generator is a new range extender concept for the application in a full electric vehicle. The free piston engine driven linear generators can achieve high efficiency at part and full load which is suitable for the range extender application. This paper presents requirements for designing a linear generator deduced from a basic analysis of a free piston linear generator.

Making future vehicles intelligent with improved fuel economy and satisfactory emissions are the main drivers for current vehicle research and development. The connected and autonomous vehicles still need years or decades to be widely used in practice. However, some advanced technologies have been developed and deployed for the conventional vehicles to improve the vehicle performance and safety, such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), automatic parking, automatic lane keeping, active safety, super cruise, and so on. On the other hand, the vehicle propulsion system technologies, such as clean and high efficiency combustion, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and electric vehicle, are continuously advancing to improve fuel economy with satisfactory emissions for traditional internal combustion engine powered and hybrid electric vehicles or to increase cruise range for electric vehicles.

Comparing to fuel vehicle, electric vehicle does not apply the heat of the engine as one of the heat resources. Therefore, many heating ideas are proposed to use on Electric vehicle.This paper analyzes the attributes of various heating methods. Heat pump system is the most popular trend of the electric vehicle business, due to the high efficiency. It suggests different heat pump systems, illustrates the trend of future market, and compares the performance of electric vehicle heat pump system using different cryogen.
