model based design of hybrid and electric powertrains
DESCRIPTION
Hybrid and Electric Drives are far more complex than the traditional I.C. Engine based powertrains of cars and trucks. Such complexity multiplies the possible failure modes that could lead to catastrophic failure of the drivetrain, as well as make the job of optimizing the powertrain for fuel efficiency, much more challenging. Model Based Design is a solution to manage complexity, find and eliminate failure modes, and to find and exploit even obscure performance improvement opportunities. This presentation shows some nuances and advances of Model Based Design methods for Hybrid and Electric PowertrainsTRANSCRIPT

Predicting the behavior of a Hybrid Electric Powertrain over a drive cycle requires simulation of multiple domains: • Mechanical, Hardware • Electrical, Electronics • Software
SAE INTERNATIONAL
Simulating the electric powertrain as a complete, interconnected system is
particularly challenging due to fragmentation of simulation tools and
methods at different stages of the product development process
