- Abstract
- Electrification for mobile systems is a long-term trend that touches every mode of transport we currently use. As these systems proliferate, and increase in power levels, there is a strong desire to increase the power density of the electrified systems on board. A key barrier to increased electrical power density is the associated thermal management that is necessary to prevent failures. This article provides an overview of a long-term effort aimed at integrating the research and education of combined electrical and thermal systems for the sake of increased power density. An overall motivation for this effort is provided in order to gain context. Then, specific examples are provided of how research and education can be performed within graduate programs across the United States (U.S.) and the world.
