Accelerating EV engineering with an integrated multiphysics design workflow (Webinar)
Predicting motor electromagnetics, noise, heat transfer, stresses, or simulating specific phenomena on an electric drive is technologically challenging and requires new fields of expertise and mindsets. Join this webinar, at our Spring Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, where Sudhi Uppuluri and Benoit Magneville from Siemens explain how a collaborative and flexible ecosystem connects the toolsets… Read more »
VisIC shows a gallium nitride 3-phase traction inverter with an automotive-grade PMSM motor
VisIC Technologies says that a major automotive OEM has evaluated its 2.2 mΩ, 650 V half-bridge power module based on four parallel 8 mΩ power FETs, using a PMSM motor. At 400 V, the inverter phase current reached 350 A rms (500 A peak). Driving cycle testing showed comparable efficiency to commercial silicon carbide-based modules…. Read more »
BorgWarner to supply 800 V SiC inverters to a major global OEM
BorgWarner says it will provide 800 V silicon carbide (SiC) inverters to “a major global OEM,” in addition to the 400 V inverters it already supplies to the company. BorgWarner will supply two variants of the inverters: a 250 kW version will be used in passenger cars and all-wheel-drive crossovers, and a 350 kW module… Read more »
Multiphysics analysis of traction motors: accelerating innovation in EV solutions
Sponsored by ANSYS.EV designers must address an increasingly complex matrix of engineering goals on tightening timelines. Optimized system design requires evaluation of many different concepts, topologies, and electronic interactions across disciplines. Considering the traction motor alone, there are several design decisions that impact the function of the entire vehicle. Engineers used to perform electromagnetic analysis… Read more »
A multi-physics approach to battery thermal management and runaway analysis (Webinar)
Thermal issues associated with the battery might affect its safety, reliability, lifetime, and performance. What if you can ensure the battery operates in safe temperature ranges while maximizing its performance, minimizing its degradation and avoiding hazardous conditions? Siemens offers an integrated battery design and thermal management workflow with multi-level modelling and multi-physics simulations. In this… Read more »
Flexible and scalable EV battery cycler: 150 kW SiC-based power for EV battery testing
Sponsored by NIThe need to quickly increase EV battery testing capacity is making validation labs harder to manage and forcing engineering teams to explore ways to sustainably scale up their test lab operations. From few to dozens of test cells, managing power from the battery cyclers is one of the main challenges that impacts lab… Read more »
Faraday Institution launches industry-wide standard for physics-based battery modeling
The Faraday Institution recently introduced Battery Parameter eXchange (BPX), an open standard for physics-based lithium-ion battery models that defines three factors: battery parameters; the equations employing those parameters; and the reporting of experimental measurements used to validate the reported parameters. The complexity of physics-based models and the lack of a common definition, says Faraday, has… Read more »
