Host: Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
Co-supervisor/mentors: P. Lindh & L. Aarniovuori (LUT, FI), B. Jiang (ETRIXA, SE)
Required profile: Electrical Engineering or equivalent
Desirable skills/interests: Embedded systems; Materials engineering; Electrical and electronic engineering; Control engineering; Sustainable design; Simulation engineering and modelling; Systems engineering; Industrial design; Computer aided design
Objectives: Development of integration and deployment strategies for high-power WPT systems in heavy-duty vehicles, addressing cost, safety, and sustainability barriers. The DC will study architectures for system integration to vehicles, design high-power WPT systems including mechanical interfaces, and implement digital-twin models for real-time validation of the effectiveness of bidirectional WPT. An important aspect of this task is that sustainability and recyclability assessments of system components will guide the design optimization.
Project: Integration and deployment strategies of high-power WPT converters for heavy-duty vehicles (WP4)
