Original title: Modern Switching Devices Will Improve Electric Vehicles in City Mass Transportation
Authors: Bartoš, Stanislav
Document type: Papers
Conference/Event: CITY OF TOMORROW and the ELECTRICITY, Prague (CZ), 2003-09-25 / 2003-09-26
Year: 2003
Language: eng
Abstract: First, the lecture outlines the prospective trends in city mass transportation. In further sections, principles of electric traction drives are discussed. As the lecture is intended for broad technical audience not specialized in power electronics, only the most elementary principles of converters are explained. Their improvement is based on the employment of IGBTs and IGCTs, which are the state-of-the-art semiconductor power switching devices.
Keywords: switching converters in electricity driven vehicles; trends in City mass transportation
