Cosmic Radiation—Is it Real or Science Fiction? - Industry Articles

Jan 12, 2025 | eepower.com | Martin Schulz

This question came up in a discussion about power electronics failures for which there was initially no viable explanation. However, cosmic rays are not an invention by Stanislav Lem or a myth from the Star Wars universe. Cosmic radiation consists of high-energy particles ejected into space in large quantities by stars such as the sun.

Exploring The Application Of Fast Charging For Megawatt Commercial Vehicles With Best Efficiency, Availability And Life Cycle

Aug 16, 2024 | electronicsforu.com | Martin Schulz

Similar to the infrastructure for passenger cars, chargers will be needed to charge commercial vehicles for several hundreds of kWh within the driver’s lunch break. Delivering 500 kWh in less than 30 minutes will require over 1 MW of charging power. Current high-power charging standards include power levels up to 2.2 MW and can be expected to upgrade up to 4.5 MW in the coming years.
The Impact of Direct Liquid Cooled Power Semiconductors

Jul 24, 2024 | eepower.com | Martin Schulz

This article is published by EEPower as part of an exclusive digital content partnership with Bodo’s Power Systems. The challenge in power electronics is to achieve higher power throughput in smaller devices at a reduced cost. These often contradicting targets lead to compromises. Higher currents lead to higher thermal stress in a given device, reducing its lifetime.
Determining Semiconductor Chip Temperature

Jun 19, 2024 | eepower.com | Martin Schulz

This article is published by EEPower as part of an exclusive digital content partnership with Bodo’s Power Systems. The semiconductor’s temperature development is the most important factor determining a power-electronic system’s service life. For this reason, it is very important to determine the chip temperature as accurately as possible. All datasheet specifications and service life calculations refer to a mathematical construct of a virtual chip temperature or virtual junction temperature Tvj.
The Pillars of Europe: Peace, democracy, and respect

Mar 8, 2024 | agendapublica.elpais.com | Martin Schulz

Europe is at a pivotal moment and we need to return to some fundamental ideas of European integration to address the upcoming challenges. The Russian full-scale war against Ukraine on the doorstep of the European Union has reminded us of a basic principle of European cooperation. The EU was the answer to the terrible experiences of World War II. At this moment, the people in Ukraine hope as soon as possible to be part of this peace project.

The lifetime thing and the question: “How long do power electronics last?”

Oct 19, 2023 | eeworldonline.com | Martin Schulz

Determining the durability and reliability of power electronics starts with strategies for estimating the lifespan. In mechanics, it is obvious that moving parts wear under friction, and the countermeasure is also clear: lubrication. Lubrication reduces friction and thus wear, or vice versa, extending service life. Power electronic components are also subject to wear.

Neue Mitte-Studie der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung: Martin Schulz über die Radikalisierung der Gesellschaft

Sep 21, 2023 | ipg-journal.de | Martin Schulz

Die Fragen stellte Alexander Isele. Die Corona-Pandemie, der Krieg in der Ukraine, der Klimawandel – die Krisen unserer Zeit hinterlassen Spuren. Radikalisiert sich die Gesellschaft? Das kann man so generell nicht sagen. Nicht die gesamte Gesellschaft radikalisiert sich.
