As electric vehicles advance, the demands for higher performance, efficiency, and reliability keep growing. Modern drivetrains must become not only more powerful, but also smarter, self-monitoring, and robust against aging. This talk shows how semiconductor health, motor technology, and inverter architecture interact on a system level. We discuss real-time condition monitoring of power semiconductors (Si, SiC, GaN) and their aging, review current motor types and control strategies, and explain how inverter topologies affect efficiency, EMI, and battery integration. The goal is to give a comprehensive overview of the next generation of intelligent, self-monitoring electric vehicle platforms.

You will learn more about:

• Reliability and predictive health monitoring of semiconductors and power electronics increase EV lifetime and safety
• Advances in motor technologies and intelligent control algorithms (like MTPA, MTPV, flux weakening) enable more efficient, stable, and adaptable operation
• The choice and design of inverter architectures (NPC, T-Type, Full-Bridge) strongly influence efficiency, EMI behavior, and battery integration
