At the Super e-platform technology launch event on March 17th, BYD unveiled its groundbreaking Super e-platform, which includes flash charging batteries, a 30000 RPM motor, and a new generation of automotive grade silicon carbide power chips. The core three electric components have been fully upgraded, coupled with the world's first electric vehicle all domain kilovolt architecture, breaking multiple global records.
The "Super e-platform Technology" is the world's first mass-produced passenger car "Global Kilovolt High Voltage Architecture". The system has achieved "kilovolt level" carrying capacity for batteries, motors, power supplies, air conditioning, etc., achieving megawatt flash charging with ultra-high voltage of 1000V, ultra-high current of 1000A, and ultra-high power of 1000kW.
When new energy vehicles powered by the kilovolt voltage architecture are racing on the road of pursuing ultimate performance, a "high-voltage gap" that lies in front of engineers makes the research and development process difficult. When turned off on the kilovolt level high-voltage system platform, the back electromotive force applied to the devices far exceeds the withstand voltage limit of existing automotive silicon carbide modules, like a tsunami hitting a dam, facing huge challenges.
In industrial development, motor technology has always held a crucial position, building the core foundation of industry. Every innovation in motor technology effectively demonstrates the leap of a company's technological capabilities. In the early days, high-voltage electric drive technology limited the performance of motors and even the entire vehicle, hindering the layout of the vehicle and making it difficult for the system to achieve optimal adaptation. The automotive industry urgently needs to improve the pressure resistance level and power performance of automotive silicon carbide.
New generation SiC power chip, self-developed and produced throughout the entire technology chain
In response to the demand for 1000V high-voltage systems and megawatt flash charging, BYD Semiconductor has taken a different approach, relying on the vertical integration advantages of the group to quickly develop and launch 1500V high-power SiC chips, solving the bottleneck of module voltage resistance. This is the first large-scale production application of the highest voltage level SiC chip in the automotive motor drive field.
