Offer Description

Contactless powertrain for electric mobility

In the context of green and sustainable mobility, this thesis focuses on a new wireless mobility technology for electric vehicles.

The doctoral student must work on technologies for transferring electric power by magnetic resonance by exploring different topologies of the power conversion chain from the input network (AC or DC) to an AC motor drive (Induction motor or PMSM)for electric vehicles.

The DC/AC power converters with high switching frequency (100 kHz) and medium switching frequency (5 kHz) will use SiC-Mosfet or GaN switches in order to reduce losses and improve the efficiency of the contactless powertrain.

The research work in this thesis will rely on the laboratory's skills in contactless electrical power transmission but also in multilevel inverters.

Four phases will structure the thesis:

- Bibliographic study on scientific journal articles but also international patents,

- Theoretical study of the powertrain,

- Time and frequency modeling,

- Experimental validation and setup construction of 10 kW powertrain.

Candidate profile

The candidate must have solid skills in power electronics, modeling (Matlab, PSIM), knowledge of electromagnetic compatibility, in particular wave-conductor coupling and an appetite for experimentation, mastery of the Python and/or VHDL programming language will be an advantage.

Candidates must send their CV, their academic results and a letter of recommendation.

Host laboratory

This thesis topic will be developed within the PHOTON axis (PHOTonics, Waves, Nanomaterials) of the Pascal Institute (UMR 6602 of the CNRS), it brings together physicists of materials physics, electromagnetism and electronics.

The concerned topic is power electronics and electromagnetic compatibility.
