Die Fahrzeugkarosserie bildet als größte funktionale und organisatorische Systemeinheit ein zentrales Kompetenzfeld der OEMs. Für den Fahrzeughersteller stellt der Karosserierohbau eine hohe Kernkompetenz sowohl in der Produktentwicklung als auch in der Produktion dar. Neue, innovative Karosseriebauweisen, bspw. aufgrund eines neuen Fahrzeugkonzeptes oder neuer Anforderungen, bedeuten für den OEM auch gleichzeitig die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit Kompetenzfokussierung bzw. Wertschöpfungsverlagerungen.
This paper presents the latest prototype of the integrated emitter turn-off thyristor concept, which potentially ranks among thyristor high-power devices like the gate turn-off thyristor and the integrated gate-commutated thyristor (IGCT). Due to modifications of the external driver stage and mechanical press-pack design optimization, this prototype allows for full device characterization. The turn-off capability was increased to 1600 A with an active silicon area of 823mm2 . This leads to a transient peak power of 672.1kW/cm² . Within this paper, measurements and concept assessment are presented and a comparison to state-of-the-art IGCT devices is provided.

The continuously growing amount of renewable sources starts compromising the stability of electrical grids. Contradictory to fossil fuel power plants, energy production of wind and photovoltaic (PV) energy is fluctuating. Although predictions have significantly improved, an outage of multi-MW offshore wind farms poses a challenging problem. One solution could be the integration of storage systems in the grid. After a short overview, this paper focuses on two exemplary battery storage systems, including the required power electronics. The grid integration, as well as the optimal usage of volatile energy reserves, is presented for a 5- kW PV system for home application, as well as for a 100- MW medium-voltage system, intended for wind farm usage. The efficiency and cost of topologies are investigated as a key parameter for large-scale integration of renewable power at medium- and low-voltage.
