Seit 2008 prämiert die PCIM Europe Konferenz mit ihrer jährlichen Awardverleihung herausragende Beiträge und fördert junge Talente in der Leistungselektronikbranche. Die preisgekrönten Einreichungen werden von den Preistragenden auf der Konferenz vom 11.06.2024 – 13.06.2024 in Nürnberg präsentiert.
Aus über 500 Einreichungen hat der Fachbeirat der PCIM Europe unter dem Vorsitz von Prof. Dr. Leo Lorenz, ECPE die fünf Gewinnenden ausgewählt. Entscheidende Kriterien für die Vergabe der Awards waren die Aktualität, Relevanz und Qualität der Einreichungen.
Mit dem Best Paper Award werden die drei hervorragendsten Einreichungen insgesamt ausgezeichnet. Ingenieure im Alter von maximal 30 Jahren konnten sich für den Young Engineer Award bewerben. Der Young Researcher Award wird seit 2022 an einen Autor bis maximal 30 Jahren aus dem Bereich der Wissenschafts- und Forschungseinrichtungen verliehen.
Die Awards wurden durch Prof. Dr. Leo Lorenz und die diesjährigen Konferenzsponsoren Littelfuse, Mitsubishi Electric und Semikron Danfoss im Rahmen der Konferenzeröffnung und Awardverleihung der PCIM Europe Konferenz 2024 überreicht. Die Gewinnenden der Awards erhalten zudem ein Preisgeld in Höhe von 1.000 €.

A Partial Load Three-Phase Triangular Current Mode Modulation Concept with an Optimized Filter Inductor for High Efficiency Traction Drives
This paper introduces a partial load three-phase Triangular Current Mode (TCM) modulation concept for high efficiency traction drives. The focus is on the design of the TCM filter inductor on the AC node of the inverter. An optimized inductor design is presented with low power-loss and high power-density.

Corrosion Resistant Packaging for Power Semiconductor Modules – Modified Insulation Materials for Contaminated Environments
The increasing electrification of high-power applications in various environments leads to more complex mission profiles and reliability issues for power semiconductor devices. This can lead to corrosion mechanisms induced by contaminants like hydrogen-sulphide (H2S) or similar species. To increase the robustness of IGBT-modules against H2S-driven failure mechanisms, this study will show modified insulation materials to inhibit the relevant corrosion products.

Characterization of Power-Module Parasitics: Sub-Nanosecond Large Signal Pulsing vs. Double-Pulse Testing
In the evaluation of parasitics within modern power modules, two methodologies have been applied: the sensor gap TLP (sgTLP), which utilizes Time Domain Reflectometry with pulses that mirror power electronics conditions and notably does not require a current probe, and the established double-pulse testing (DPT). Both techniques aim to offer a thorough insight, with DPT serving as a reference to validate and complement the sgTLP findings for module optimization.

CO2 Footprint of Medium Voltage DC Solid State Transformer
Power converters are a key technology to support the massive integration of renewable energy sources and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. It is therefore important to assess their environmental impact. This work proposes a methodology for the environmental assessment of DC Solid State Transformer using Life Cycle Analysis and it estimates the emissions of the DC SST for different operating frequencies.

Highly-Compact Bearingless Axial-Flux Motor for a Pediatric Implantable Fontan Blood Pump
A pediatric implantable rotary blood pump (RBP) is under development in a research collaboration between the ETH Zurich, the University of Innsbruck, and the Medical University of Vienna. The RBP is driven by a small bearingless dual-stator axial-flux PMSM, providing 2.2 mNm of torque at a rotational speed of 5500 rpm. The paper provides details about bearing force generation, the sensors needed for accurate position estimation and demonstrates stable levitation control on a hardware prototype.
