What does VSC mean in a vehicle?

[LaCooper]

The VSC in a car stands for Vehicle Stability Control, which is an active safety system developed by Toyota Motor Corporation. Below is related information: 1. Systems with similar functions include BMW's DSC Dynamic Stability Control and Bosch's ESP Electronic Stability Program, which operate on nearly identical mechanisms but use different names for patent registration purposes. 2. VSC is the abbreviation for Voltage Source Converter, referring to a converter composed of devices with turn-off capabilities (such as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT)). With the continuous cost reduction and technological maturity of fully-controlled power electronic devices (like GTO-IGBT), Voltage Source Converters (VSC) have found increasingly widespread applications in motor variable frequency speed regulation, flexible AC transmission, and high-voltage DC transmission. 3. There are mainly two types of VSC topologies: one is the traditional three-phase full-bridge converter, and the other is the multi-level converter. The latter can increase output voltage and reduce harmonic content by increasing the number of levels at lower switching frequencies, meeting the capacity requirements for power system applications, and represents the future development direction.
