Wide Bandgap Power Electronics for heavy duty vehicles
This presentation will cover publicly known information on the 200 kW 1050 VDC silicon carbide (SiC) inverter technology development project in John Deere. The SiC inverter converts vehicle engine power into electrical power needed for the permanent-magnet-motor based electric powertrain used in heavy-duty construction and mining vehicles. The presentation will cover design, development, and test verification of WBG technology deployed in the successful realization of a power-dense (43 kW/Liter) high-temperature (suitable for 115°C coolant) high-efficiency (> 98% over entre range of coolant) SiC dual-inverter.
Biography:
Dr. Brij Singh is a Technical Fellow - Power Electronics Engineering in John Deere Inc., USA. He has earned BE degree in Electrical Engineering from Madan Mohan Malviya Technical University, Gorakhpur, ME degree from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, and Ph.D. degree from Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India. In 1996, Dr. Singh joined the École de Technology Supérieure, Université du Québec, Montreal, Canada, as a Postdoctoral Fellow. In 1999, he joined Concordia University, Montreal, as a Research Fellow. In 2000, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, as an Assistant Professor. In 2007, Dr. Singh joined John Deere Inc., USA as a power electronics staff engineer, where he is currently Region 4 Manager External Relationships and leading John Deere emerging technology development projects through collaboration with universities and government laboratories. Dr. Singh has published over 92 research papers in various Journals including IEEE Transactions and IET Journals. He has 32 approved US patents, one trade secret, and over a dozen pending patents.In Tulane, Dr. Singh has received four teaching awards for outstanding instructions in electrical engineering. In John Deere, he has received three innovation and one collaboration awards for product and technology development works. Dr. Singh is the winner of the 2020 IEEE Power Electronics Emerging Technology Award for contributions towards “in-vehicle demonstration of 105 degree C coolant-capable extremely power-dense 200 kW SiC inverter”. In Feb 2020, Dr. Singh was awarded the “Title of John Deere Fellow” for exemplary contributions to power electronics engineering. Presently serving as an IEEE Power Electronics Society Distinguished Lecturer (PELS-DL), he was elevated as an IEEE Fellow in Jan 2022. Dr. Singh lives with his family in West Fargo, North Dakota.
