The electrification of road transport plays a crucial and growing role in the achievement of the UK decarbonisation targets, energy security and efficiency, and sustainable economic growth. The government aspires to accelerate the electrification of the vehicle fleet by setting out several measures, including an ambition for all new car sales to be fully zero emission from 2035. However, poor provision of charging infrastructure has been identified as one of the greatest barriers to the growth of the Electric Vehicle (EV) uptake; findings from a recent study suggest that further 250bn investments need to be made on UK EV charging network by 2050, which will impose a significant financial burden on the government, leading to a considerable uncertainty around the pace of EV adoption. To address key challenges facing the EV charging infrastructure sector, a technological breakthrough in automotive charging solutions is necessary. The aim of this project is to develop a System-on-Chip (SoC) power electronics drive, aiming to reduce inverter losses, cost, and weight while maintaining high reliability. This multidisciplinary research will involve the development of a unique multilevel inverter architecture based on SoC technology and advanced magnetics. Chip design, analogue/digital circuit design, and novel power electronic architectures will be utilised to implement a modular reconfigurable inverter topology.

道路运输电气化在实现英国的脱碳目标、能源安全和效率以及可持续经济增长方面发挥着至关重要的作用。政府希望通过制定多项措施来加速车队的电气化，包括从2035年起所有新车销售实现完全零排放的目标。然而，充电基础设施不足已被确定为电动汽车（EV）普及增长的最大障碍之一;最近的一项研究结果表明，到2050年，英国电动汽车充电网络需要进一步投资2500亿英镑，这将给政府带来巨大的财政负担，导致电动汽车采用速度存在相当大的不确定性。为了解决电动汽车充电基础设施领域面临的关键挑战，汽车充电解决方案的技术突破是必要的。该项目的目的是开发一种片上系统（SoC）电力电子驱动器，旨在降低逆变器损耗、成本和重量，同时保持高可靠性。这项多学科研究将涉及基于SoC技术和先进磁性的独特多电平逆变器架构的开发。芯片设计，模拟/数字电路设计，和新颖的电力电子架构将被用来实现模块化可重构逆变器拓扑结构。
