In Part 1, we explored why solar-charged, battery-powered IoT monitoring devices require reliable prediction of availability, SOH, and RUL, and why telemetry, statistical methods, or machine learning alone are not sufficient. In this second part, we focus on the modeling foundation: how GT‑SUITE and GT‑AutoLion provide the physics‑based structure that allows each digital twin to […]
From asset monitoring stations in remote locations to industrial sensors tracking equipment health, many modern systems rely on small, self-powered IoT devices operating far from human reach. These devices are typically equipped with a solar panel, a battery, and a communication module. Their job is simple: collect data, stay powered, and reliably transmit information to […]
As electrification expands across commercial fleets, engineers are rethinking power management to deliver efficiency, drivability, and robustness under real‑world conditions. By anticipating what the vehicle will need moments ahead, Model Predictive Control (MPC) reduces energy waste, smooths transients, and keeps the power source operating in its most efficient window. MPC paired with a dynamic, data-driven […]
From smarter thermal systems and next-generation batteries to digital twins, fuel cells, and advanced air mobility, we explored how engineering simulation is reshaping engineering decisions across industries. If you’re working at the intersection of innovation, performance, and efficiency, these seven blogs capture the most impactful ideas we shared in 2025, each addressing real-world engineering challenges […]
The Human Analogy: How BMS Brings Batteries to Life Imagine walking into your favorite bakery. Your eyes scan the variety of treats in the glassed casing. Your ears pick up the humming and whirring of the ovens. Your skin senses the warmth in the room. Your nose picks up the smells of freshly baked bread […]
In January 2023, a major Microsoft outage disrupted millions of users worldwide. People could not access Teams, Outlook, or other cloud services for hours. This event showed how quickly a small power interruption can ripple across the globe. Imagine if a cloud provider faces even a few minutes of downtime. Banking systems, hospitals, and AI-driven […]
The rise in demand for electric and hybrid-electric aircraft, particularly in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) sector, has fueled innovation in aircraft powertrain design. One promising configuration is the series hybrid tilt-rotor system, which combines the power and efficiency of hybrid-electric propulsion with the versatile flight dynamics of tilt-rotor technology. In this blog, we’ll dive […]
