Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The scope of this Special Issue focuses on applied research concerning power electronic systems for a wide range of uses. We are currently witnessing an enormous development in high-performance electronic systems, as international regulations are strongly tightening the requirements for energy efficiency and green mobility.  Manufacturers of power semiconductor components are overseeing this trend, which is reflected in the continuous development of novel semiconductor structures, their package technologies and the optimization of their thermal performance. However, in light of technological progress, it should be noted that each novel technology requires some time for the evaluation of its suitability for applications. This fact is exacerbated by the current problematic situation with the manufacture and supply of electronic and semiconductor components. Therefore, any novel product development requires a much more detailed analysis to ensure the high reliability and lifetime of power electronic systems. Here, we discuss technological progress within energy storage systems, energy transmission, charging infrastructure, electric traction and electric drives. Recently applied research of these systems in the form of an analysis, modeling, simulation or experimental testing could provide an impetus to accelerate deployment in practical applications.

A bidirectional pulse power supply with continuously adjustable forward parameters 8 V/20 A and reverse parameters 20 V/50 A was designed using DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and the bidirectional pulse power supply was used to test copper plating on printed circuit boards with filled via holes. The effects of frequencies, pulse width ratios of forward and reverse currents, and current densities on the copper plating effect were investigated by the single variable method and were compared with DC copper plating. The experimental results showed that compared with DC power supply, the bidirectional pulse power supply had a better effect and a faster speed on via-filling copper plating, and can also reduce the use of additives, which is in line with green development. The parameters of the pulse affected the plating effect to varying degrees. In this solution system, the optimal parameters for bidirectional pulse plating are frequency 1 kHz, forward pulse current density 4 ASD (Ampere per Square Decimeter) with 50% duty cycle, and reverse pulse current density 16 ASD with 2.5% duty cycle.
