PowerOPPORTUNITY Electronics Business OF DevelopmentALL? Manager CSA Catapult
Power Electronics is The opportunities are significant and immediate, but the challenge is how to very quickly moving to develop innovative, market-ready solutions the front and centre of from a comprehensive but highly disaggregated supply chain. strategic importance for the UK automotive The AESIN Capability directory is an essential enabling tool that helps industry. companies to understand capability and capacity within the broader supply chain that can help identify partners and potential solutions. When coupled with networking support through AESIN and PowerelectronicsUK together with direct assistance in integrated supply chain R&D from the new CSA Catapult, the opportunity is there for the UK to perform like a ‘virtual tier 1’ producing world-beating power electronics innovations and solutions.
Power Electronics is on the critical path for hybrid and all-electric vehicle development, whether that is in drivetrain power and control, battery management or rapid charging from the grid. Crucially, it is not just what power electronics can do by being smaller, lighter, faster and cheaper as a stand-alone technology, it’s also what it buys the system designer it terms of performance, weight and space that can really bring the added value to overall vehicle development.
AESIN Capability Directory 7
The emergence of wide bandgap semiconductors such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) have helped to trigger greater focus on power electronics as a key enabler of future electrification. The abilities of these chips to work at higher voltages, higher temperatures and higher frequencies are compelling. They open up opportunities to develop solutions with power densities that can be an order of magnitude higher than existing solutions. The recent excellent APC/Automotive Council roadmap for power electronics highlights the potential impact across the electrification space as well as the cost and performance targets that need to be met to get there. However, the problem is that it is not just a case of replacing existing silicon-based chip solutions with GaN or SiC. Wide bandgap semiconductors are disruptive technologies that force a complete rethink on how power electronics is configured and integrated within a vehicle:
Wide bandgaps can work perfectly well at temperatures >200C, but little else can, meaning that the challenges for packaging, materials development and harsh environment performance are significant.
Power densities are high, but the knock-on implications for localised heating and thermal management are significant, including how to remove or recycle kilowatts of power transferred into heat within a very small area.
The fast switching frequencies of the new devices offer up the opportunity for very high performance power electronics architectures and applications, including wireless charging. However, how best to drive and control devices at these frequencies? Also, the resultant electromagnetic fields generated by the fast switching devices can have an impact on neighbouring circuits and systems. As a result, a completely new way of integrated system thinking is needed to be able to successfully exploit the properties of wide bandgap power electronics in automotive. It is a problem that is exercising minds globally and not just in the UK. Initiatives such as Power America in the US and the JST super-cluster programme in Japan are aimed at bringing wide bandgap semiconductors through into the high volume or high impact mainstream. However, many of these initiatives are very ‘technology-push’ oriented, but it is ‘market-pull’ that will drive revenue. The development of customer specs that don’t really care what the actual semiconductor solution is, simply expressing what the target system requirements are, is what is really needed. This is the approach that was adopted in last year’s PowerelectronicsUK white paper which addressed the problem at a multi-sectoral level.
The good news is that the UK automotive power electronics supply chain is almost uniquely placed in global terms to be able to become world leaders in innovative solutions for future electrification. Not only is there a wealth of systems and OEM capability to drive market-pull, a complete end-to-end underpinning supply chain is in the UK to help develop integrated power electronics solutions. An example, but by no means exhaustive (there are at least 500 companies in the extended UK supply chain) list includes:
8 AESIN Capability Directory
Materials and Semiconductor manufacturing: IQE, Newport Wafer Fab, Clas-SiC, Nexperia.
Packaging: TT Electronics, Micross, Optocap, Microchip, RAM Innovations. Power electronics Systems Design: Lyra Electronics, Smart Power Solutions, Supply Design, Chargepoint. Sub-system development: McLaren Electronics, Turbo Power Systems, Borg Warner, Continental Integrated systems: JLR, Aston Martin, Bentley, Williams, SAIC. In addition, because wide bandgap power electronics is starting to change system thinking, new companies and enterprises are starting to emerge that are looking to exploit higher levels of integration, whether that be a sub-system level or integration between power electronics and drive systems themselves. Companies include eDrive, The Thinking Pod Solutions and Advanced Electrical Machines. Importantly, industrial activity is also underpinned by an extensive and world-class University base in power electronics covering over 30 institutions. This includes very strong capability across all aspects of power electronics in Universities such as Cambridge, Newcastle, Manchester, Nottingham, Warwick, Coventry, Bristol, Manchester, Swansea, Strathclyde and Edinburgh. The new CSA Catapult, a £50m new investment from government, has been put in place for the express purpose of helping to pull together the extended supply chain in wide bandgap power electronics to develop exploitable down-stream product and IP. It is, in essence, a delivery partner for the realisation of the APC and PowerelectronicsUK roadmaps.
The Catapult is a research and technology organisation that has a power electronics laboratory, a modelling and design suite and a flexible packaging lab, all focussed on lowering the barriers for pre-compliance, low volume, high NRE R&D. As such, it is there to fill in the gaps of product development, modelling, test, reliability and integration that UK power electronics supply chain companies do not have ready access to themselves. Collaboration is central to what we do – we have the ability to convene extended parts of the supply chain to produce evaluation modules that demonstrate to end users what can be achieved through a holistic and integrated approach to power electronics development.
The AESIN Capability Directory is an essential piece of the jigsaw as the CSA Catapult and the wider automotive industry in general seeks to develop complex cross supply chain power electronics solutions for the market. If it was easy, everybody would be doing it, but they are not. So, with the right supporting infrastructure in place, the UK is in a very strong position to be world leaders in future generations of power electronic systems for automotive.

In 2017 the UK produced The automotive sector employs around 856,000 people throughout its supply chain over 1.6m cars with the and demonstrates diversity of design and estimation of a car production that is amazing. From high- volume passenger cars, to luxury cars, to rolling off an assembly sports cars, buses to motorcycles, off high line every 18 seconds, way, trucks and motorsport with undoubtedly some of the most cherished this included the and recognisable brands in the world. manufacturing of over However, our automotive sector is facing 2.7m engines. seismic global change. Challenges include the transition to vehicles capable of delivering zero tailpipe emissions, reducing our dependency on hydro-carbon based fuels. Alongside this there is the developments in connected and autonomous vehicles, these future prospects have the potential to stand our industry on its very head.
Currently the UK’s automotive supply chain lags behind those of our key competitors in mainland Europe. Automotive Council figures stating that only around 44% of all content fitted to our vehicles is produced here in the UK, compared to around 60% in Germany and France. With this global change to our automotive supply chains it gives the UK a real opportunity to incubate the expertise that we have and scale this up to support the commercialisation of new technology.
10 AESIN Capability Directory
With an expectation that that 50% of the UK market is to be zero emission capable by 2035, this shift needs to be viewed as a real chance for holistic growth that could offer the UK the chance to lead the race with the development and integration of future propulsion systems, developing the batteries, advanced electric motors and power electronics that these solutions will require. As we move towards a much richer mix of electric vehicles the development of these supply chains is absolutely critical. With the initial market in hybrid vehicles establishing volume production followed by transition technologies and ultimately full EV technology.
We have a real opportunity to anchor and incubate this next generation of technology in the UK, however, this will require a significant amount of work and collaboration to take place. Success of this relies on the ability to transfer existing capabilities and modify traditional manufacturing routes to form new supply chains to support the growing demand for this next generation technology in demand from multiple sectors.
The Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) aims to support the growth of this robust, diverse and large scale automotive supply chain. Our programmes are designed to help SME’s and smaller supply chain organisations win the global race to be key players in delivering the advance propulsion of the future. This of particular importance to supply chain as we help facilitate thus growth as forecasts predict that the electrification of the propulsion system presents a €30billion opportunity by 2030 in the EU alone.
Earlier in 2018 the APC released updated industry roadmaps which mapped out the future of the automotive industry and identified technologies to take us there, and could help to strengthen the UK’s research-to-manufacture supply chain capabilities. These were developed on behalf of the Automotive Council and were produced using public and 1-on-1 interviews, engaging 139 organisations to identify the products, technologies and the trends and drivers of the automotive industry to 2035 and beyond. Not only do the roadmaps identify the technologies that ensure the future success of the automotive industry so that the UK can be prepared for the development of these, they also highlight the trends and drivers that are influencing these technologies.
One example from our Power Electronics roadmap was the progressive introduction of wide bandgap materials. These will impact the whole supply chain, from semiconductor device manufacturers through to companies integrating power electronics into a vehicle platform. It is clear that to get the best out of these new materials, collaboration between different disciplines and sectors across power electronics is essential. The research themes identified in the power electronics roadmap is there to act as a blueprint to aid organisations seeking to understand how they can help overcome the future challenges in automotive power electronics. The wide range of requirements in the automotive sector is driving demand for higher temperature materials, higher switching frequencies, improved reliability and more power dense solutions.
The UK has a real opportunity to make the most of this transition to electrification. The growth of technologies that fit within the capabilities of Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD) may offer the most lucrative rewards as these
AESIN Capability Directory 11 are the ones that will enable the electrification revolution. Transport, manufacturing and energy generation and distribution are industry sectors all working towards new modalities, operating with greater efficiencies and responding to the need to decarbonise. These sectors switching to electrification, moving towards autonomy and increased renewable energy generation all of rely on PEMD.
The transformational changes in these sectors present an opportunity for the UK, for our businesses to provide the components, sub-systems and systems required for electrification, automation, energy production and generation and now is the time for the UK to make big and bold decisions to take advantage of this evolution.
The UK has a real opportunity to anchor and incubate this next generation of technology in the UK, however, this will require a significant amount of work and collaboration to take place. Success of this relies on the ability to transfer existing capabilities and modify traditional manufacturing routes to form new supply chains to support the growing demand for this next generation technology in demand from multiple sectors. PEMD is the hidden power behind the next generation of electric vehicles, ships, trains, aeroplanes, automated factories, and clean efficient energy production and distribution systems.

Myrtle’s development work is focussed on automatically realizing deep learning algorithms as efficient silicon designs, capable of very high performance and low power usage on FPGAs.
This software automatically translates trained deep learning algorithms directly from common deep learning frameworks like Caffe and Torch and constructs efficient neural network circuit designs automatically, without the need for FPGA hardware expertise.
This unique approach produces bespoke designs for each specific network and avoids the inefficiencies of existing methods that use intermediate languages such as OpenCL. The approach is also highly scalable in terms of the resources that can be targeted on the FPGA: an important factor in commercial applications where running multiple neural networks together is becoming common.
In 2016 Myrtle worked with OEM Level 4 autonomous vehicle data and the company has a long history of deploying large scale proprietary software at scale within data centers.
