Bridging the Gap: From Academic Concepts to Industry Applications in EV Power Electronics

In the rapidly evolving field of Electric Vehicle (EV) power electronics, the transition from academic theory to industry application presents both challenges and opportunities. This presentation aims to bridge this gap by elucidating how fundamental concepts taught in universities are directly translatable to solving real-world problems in EV power electronics, specifically through the lens of motor control implementation.

“The PSIM software nicely complements the first principles that I want to teach to students in my Electric Motor Drives course.”​

Professor Berker Bilgin, McMaster​ University
