Available Technologies

Wireless charging of electric vehicles require the ability to control the output current in the power transfer system, but that is often not possible as the availability of signals from the secondary side to the primary side is difficult and not always feasible.

In additive manufacturing large stresses are induced in the build plate and part interface. A result of these stresses are deformations in the build plate and final component.

A valve solution that prevents cross contamination while allowing for blocking multiple channels at once using only one actuator.

This invention presents a multiport converter (MPC) based power supply to charge the 12 V and 24 V auxiliary batteries in heavy duty (HD) fuel cell (FC) electric vehicle (EV) power train.

Materials produced via additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can experience significant residual stress, distortion and cracking, negatively impacting the manufacturing process.

This invention presents an integrated strategy to reduce end-user electricity costs and grid carbon emissions by efficiently utilizing Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and grid-scale electrical energy storage systems, such as batteries.

The invention aims to reduce the cost, weight and volume of existing on-board electric vehicle chargers by integrating power electronic converters of the chargers with the traction inverter.

This work seeks to alter the interface condition through thermal history modification, deposition energy density, and interface surface preparation to prevent interface cracking.

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the incremental buildup of monolithic components with a variety of materials, and material deposition locations.
