European Conference on Nanoelectronics and Embedded Systems for Electric Mobility

The worldwide energy consumption is rising dramatically. In the next 20 years energy consumption will double and CO₂ emissions will rise accordingly. The consequence will be a dramatically escalating price for energy and difficult challenges for ensuring Europe’s energy supply. Energy issues will become highly significant for competitiveness of the European economy and the quality of life in Europe.

The zero emission capability of the electric vehicle and the replacement of oil in the energy mix by using renewable energy sources is a challenging environmental task for the present as well as future generations.

The electric vehicles technologies are currently facing several challenges amongst which are: limited driving range, high cost and overall limited efficiency. For the most part of these issues, solutions may be found on the level of the subsystems for energy storage/battery technology, power conversion, electric power train, energy management and connection to the power grid.

To provide input in this essential discussion, the Conference will be focusing on the nanoelectronics and embedded systems technologies for electric mobility applications and their impact on the future of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.

Who will attend?

Experts from five European research and development projects (E³Car, POLLUX, IoE, MotorBrain) addressing the electrical vehicle technologies will report about first-hand experiences and latest developments:

• Nanoelectronics technologies, devices, circuits architectures and modules for electric vehicles.
• Distributed real time embedded systems platform for next generation electric vehicles, by using a component and programming-based design methodology.
• Battery technologies.
• Constraints on and drivers of electrification to assess the future of EV and HEV.

This year event is hosted and co-sponsored by: austriamicrosystems AG.
