Automotive electric / electronic systems are endlessly growing in complexity with a permanent constraint of a constant or reduced time-to-market. Therefore, there is a strong need to improve constantly the efficiency of the EMC related tasks throughout the entire development process, starting from the design phase until the full-vehicle validation phase. This workshop intends to present an overview of the most recent industrial and academic advances in the field of automotive EMC design, modeling and simulation as well as in the field of automotive standards, testing and measurements. The presentations in this workshop will cover EMC issues at system, sub-system, equipment, and component levels. In particular, topics addressed by the speakers will include hybrid power-train systems EMC analysis, antenna implementation, equipment design, advanced testing techniques, printed-circuit-board optimization, and electric/electronic component characterization.

Modeling of Conducted Emission Tests of EV On-Board Powertrain Chargers on Table and on Vehicle – Discussions on the Correlation Between Test Results

It is well known that correlation between table tests and vehicle tests can differ significantly, mainly depending on the frequency band, the real vehicle architecture and the representativity of the test setup on table compared to the real vehicle cases. This presentation will go through the different steps of the modeling and simulation of conducted emission tests of electric vehicle on-board powertrain chargers in order to compare results on table and on vehicle, to explain why differences can sometimes be very large, how these differences can be reduced, and how the test level requirements on table should be defined.
9:30am - 10:00am
Managing Excessive Risks That Can be Caused by EMI (even when all EMC tests are passed)
Keith Armstrong
Cherry Clough Consultants Ltd, UK
EMI is a reasonably foreseeable cause of errors, malfunctions or failures in all electronic technologies, which can cause excessive levels of consequential risks to human health, safety, finances, reputation, security, or any other risks that need to be managed.The risk management requirements in the EMCD only address the risks that individual units of manufacture placed on the EU Market might fail to comply with their relevant harmonised EMC standards – if they are ever tested. But they do not address the fact that real-life circumstances can be very different from standard EMC tests, possibly lead to undesirable outcomes. And they do not address the consequences of errors, malfunctions or failures caused by EMI – which can be very significant financially: under the EU’s Product Liability Directive, Civil Courts can award penalties up to 70 billion EUROs (more, in some Member States).
10:00am - 10:30am
Designing and Troubleshooting High-Power ECUs for Modern EVs
Min Zhang
Mach One Design, UK
Key components in electric vehicles—such as the Electric Drive Unit (EDU), On-Board Charger (OBC), and DC-DC Converter—are often major sources of both conducted and radiated emissions. As power electronics continue to evolve—with faster switching speeds and higher voltages aimed at improving system efficiency—EMI challenges become increasingly complex. In this presentation, we will introduce practical, high-efficiency troubleshooting techniques used to solve emission problems in high-power ECUs. Drawing from real-world case studies, we’ll also highlight critical design insights gained through hands-on debugging—providing engineers with actionable guidance to improve both design robustness and EMC performance.
