Abstract
Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors are the potential enablers for the development of the next generation of electrified vehicles by helping to reduce current drawbacks such as price, driving range and charging times of electrified vehicles. Therefore, the ECSEL JU project HiPERFORM was set up to support the introduction of WBG semiconductors in the automotive industry (electrified vehicles and associated charging devices and infrastructures) and hence getting rid of the drawbacks mentioned before. To validate the potential benefits of wide bandgap semiconductors, the project started in May 2018 and was successfully finished in October 2021. This paper gives insights towards the recently developed applications and their results, to show the potential of these new wide bandgap technologies. Two use cases (inverter and on-board charger) are presented in detail, having a special focus on the benefit for the end user.
