Workshop on Future Trends and Opportunities for Power Electronics in an Electrified Transportation Industry, Held at Univ. of Maryland, College Park MD, August 17-18, 2018. MD

摘要：电气化交通行业将对交通出行、能源独立、电网运行和互联互通产生深刻而积极的影响。这种颠覆性趋势的文化、经济、环境和工业结果将产生全球性影响。这一转变将为通信、能源、电力和机器人等融合行业带来新的机遇。在这一日益增长的趋势中，科学和技术的领导地位在美国和世界各地的长期经济繁荣、能源独立和创造新的就业机会方面发挥着关键作用。电力电子作为一项使能技术，在这一转型的最终成功中起着关键作用。本次研讨会的主题是电气化交通行业电力电子的未来趋势和机遇，旨在确定电力转换器、电动机、无线充电和自动驾驶汽车设计领域最具挑战性和最需要的技术进步。本次研讨会将来自学术界、工业界和政府的领导人聚集在一起，在为期两天的计划中讨论和交流与电力电子在交通运输业电气化中的作用有关的想法。专家将于2018年8月17日至18日发表一系列主题演讲，然后进行具体任务的小组讨论。研讨会的主要技术重点将是电力驱动要求、充电和储能管理、电动汽车的自动驾驶和连接。本次会议的最终结果将是提出一系列建议，概述电力电子和能源转换领域最需要的短期和长期技术进步，以应对汽车、航空航天和海洋工业电气化的预期增长率。所要求的资金将用于支付被邀请者参加研讨会的旅费和活动期间的餐费。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Abstract: An electrified transportation industry will transform mobility, energy independence, power grid operation, and connectivity in a profound and substantially positive way. The cultural, economic, environmental, and industrial outcomes of this disruptive trend will have a global impact. This transformation will open new opportunities for fusing industries such as communication, energy, electric power, and robotics to name a few. Scientific and technological leadership in this growing trend plays a pivotal role in long term economic prosperity, energy independence, and creation of new jobs in the United States and around the world. Power electronics, as an enabling technology, plays a key role in ultimate success of this transformation. The workshop on future trends and opportunities for power electronics in an electrified transportation industry aims to identify the most challenging and needed technological advances in the area of power converter, electric motors, wireless charging, and autonomous vehicle design.This workshop brings leaders from the academia, industry, and government together within a two days program to discuss and exchange ideas related to the role of power electronics in electrification of the transportation industry. A series of keynote speeches by experts followed by task specific group discussions will take place on August 17-18, 2018. The main technical focus of the workshop will be on electric drive requirements, charging and energy storage management, and autonomous operation and connectivity of electric vehicles. The final outcome of this gathering will be a set of recommendations to outline the most needed short term and long term technology advances in the area of power electronics and energy conversion to cope with the anticipated rate of growth in electrification of the automotive, aerospace, and marine industries. The requested funds will be used to cover the travel expenses of the invitees to the workshop and meals during the event.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
