Andover, MA, April 12, 2023 – As the automotive industry rapidly moves toward fully electric vehicles with higher-voltage and higher power requirements, power system design engineers are looking for power conversion solutions that have high density, low weight and are scalable across platforms.

Vicor will present four papers at the premiere global automotive engineering event, World Congress Experience 2023 (WCX™) in Detroit on April 18 – 20, describing innovative approaches to xEV power conversion using its high-density, scalable, modular power system technology.

The Vicor papers are:

• Reducing range anxiety by reducing harness weight with power modules. Presented by: Nicolas Richard, Director Automotive Sales and Field Applications, Vicor EMEA
• Managing high-voltage line ripple rejection using high-bandwidth DC‑DC converters. Presented by: Haris Muhedinovic, Automotive Principal Field Applications Engineer, Vicor
  • Ranya Badawi, Power Converter Engineer, General Motors
  • Contributor: Steve Wybo, Technical Specialist, Power Electronics, General Motors
• Adapting 400V and 800V Architectures – Bidirectional Conversion. Presented by: Matt Jenks, North American Director of Automotive, Vicor
• Building Redundancy in Electrical Systems that Power 400 or 800V Electric Vehicles. Presented by: Patrick Kowalyk, Automotive Principal Field Applications Engineer, Vicor
