An electric traction drive system (eTDS) consists of components such as power electronic inverter, electric motor, and gear box packaged as one unit. Proposed research activities in this project aim at commercialization intense enhancement of existing eTDS with focus on control of electric motor and wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor-based inverter. The overall objective is to improve efficiency and reliability of eTDS towards a reduced total cost of ownership of electric vehicles (EVs). This collaborative project will be executed by researchers from University of Windsor and Concordia University in collaboration with Magna International Inc. (Magna) and GaN Systems. This project aims to address the overall objective through the following R&D activities: 1) advance state-of-health (SOH) prediction models of eTDS components towards developing new adaptive control strategies; 2) design an optimal hybrid filter for a reliable motor drive and study its impact on eTDS components; and, 3) develop innovative control methods for efficiency and reliability enhancement of eTDS. The project will train undergraduate and graduate students and post-doctoral fellows who will acquire research expertise and capabilities by interacting with supporting organizations to advance commercially existing eTDS in terms of efficiency and reliability thereby, creating a paradigm-shift in the field of transportation electrification. This project will lead to decision points, proof of concept, and product implementable solutions for Magna and GaN Systems towards high performance eTDS. It will provide them with a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. The transformative nature of the project, due to strong industry-university partnerships will strive to make Canada and supporting organizations global leaders in the field of transportation electrification. Mass production and consumption of reliable and energy-efficient EVs will benefit Canada economically and Canadians' health by lowered carbon footprint and cleaner environment.

电力牵引驱动系统（ETDS）由电源逆变器，电动机和齿轮箱等组件组成，将其包装为一个单元。该项目中的拟议研究活动旨在将现有ETD的商业化强度增强，重点是控制电动机和宽带盖（WBG）半导体逆变器。总体目标是提高ETD对降低电动汽车总拥有成本（EV）的效率和可靠性。该协作项目将由温莎大学和康科迪亚大学的研究人员与Magna International Inc.（Magna）和GAN Systems合作执行。该项目旨在通过以下研发活动来解决整体目标：1）ETDS组件的先进最新健康（SOH）预测模型，以制定新的自适应控制策略； 2）设计一种最佳的混合滤波器，以实现可靠的电动机驱动，并研究其对ETD组件的影响； 3）开发创新的控制方法，以提高ETD的效率和可靠性。该项目将培训本科生和研究生以及博士后研究员，他们将通过与支持组织进行互动，从而在效率和可靠性方面提高商业上现有的ETD，从而在运输电气化领域创建范式偏移，从而获得研究专业知识和能力。该项目将为Magna和GAN系统带来对高性能ETD的决策点，概念证明以及可实施的解决方案。它将为他们提供全球市场的竞争优势。由于强大的行业 - 大学合作伙伴关系，该项目的变革性质将努力使加拿大并为组织电气化领域的全球领导者提供支持。可靠和节能电动汽车的大规模生产和消费将通过降低碳足迹和更清洁的环境来使加拿大和加拿大人的健康受益。
