An inside look at how utilities view EVs: expanding electricity sales without adding new customers
Q&A with the Orlando Utilities Commission’s Peter Westlake. Anyone who would deploy any kind of large-scale EV charging project needs to work closely (and early) with their local electrical utility. This can be a complex undertaking, especially for companies that work in different regions, as there are around 1,600 utilities in the US, subject to… Read more »
Learn more about EV inverter testing with Power Hardware-in-the-Loop simulators (Webinar)
Testing traction inverters, including the controller and power electronics, at full power can be a challenge. Real components are not yet available or the conventional test benches simply don’t offer enough flexibility to test the controller robustness. This is where Power HIL systems come into play. Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (Power HIL) simulators can provide testing capabilities… Read more »
Designing a battery management system: why digital twins and HIL are necessary (Webinar)
Integrating Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing into a Battery Management System (BMS) design is essential for achieving optimal performance and user safety. To accurately simulate the real-world environment in which BMS will be used, HIL testing can provide an efficient way to assess the system’s capabilities and identify any potential faults. Join this webinar at the Fall… Read more »
Optimizing electric motors for EV range, cost and sustainability (Webinar)
Sustainability is one of the fundamental features in electric motors. Whether it is a traditional PSM motor or advanced magnet-free motor with powered rotor coils, Schaeffler focuses on optimal use of both the space and materials to achieve requirements without waste in the design. The company uses specialized tools for eMotor optimization—looking at torque, power,… Read more »
Here’s why utilities are happy to install public EV chargers, even if they lose money
When it comes to new technology, public perceptions matter. Expert opinions differ on the importance of public EV charging infrastructure, but potential EV buyers tend to see it as absolutely critical, as numerous surveys have made clear. Utilities around the country are installing public EV chargers, and the savvy ones understand that the value of… Read more »
Inverters on a plane: testing of electric powertrain from prototype development to certification and systems (Webinar)
“I am testing these motor flying Inverters on this motor flying plane” Motors, inverters, and power systems for electric aircraft have strict requirements for weight, efficiency, and safety. For this reason, these motors are pushing technology, going to higher voltages, high phase counts, and unique topologies for both the motors and inverters. Many of these… Read more »
How to accelerate the time to market of lithium-ion batteries with confidence (Webinar)
Up to 40% of the total expense of an EV is attributed to the battery itself. A significant portion of this cost is directly related to the pace of development and the duration it takes to introduce the vehicle to the market. Starting from the initial phases of battery development, assessing and characterizing battery components… Read more »
Certification and end-to-end testing of EV charging stations (Webinar)
Due to an increase in the adoption of battery electric vehicles, direct current fast charging (DCFC) stations have become a critical emerging topic. An extensive charging infrastructure of these types of DCFC stations can help to eliminate range anxiety and further encourage consumers to transition to battery electric vehicles. As this industry grows, manufacturers need… Read more »
