Learn how to use a model to evaluate battery pack safety during thermal runaway events Designers of battery packs are tasked with a very challenging problem: to package a set of cells as tightly as possible and minimize the amount of non-cell weight in the battery while maintaining proper temperature levels of cells, protecting against […]
Improving Hybrid Electric Vehicle Controls: The recent proliferation of hybrid electric vehicles has greatly complicated the world of vehicle controls engineers. Multiple energy sources and propulsion systems applied to sophisticated hybrid drivetrains necessitate a much more intricate controls strategy than conventionally powered vehicles. Determining when to distribute power to the engine, motor(s), or both is […]
As emissions regulations tighten and an electrified future grows more and more imminent, automotive engineers have been tasked with applying decades of traditional vehicle engineering knowledge to increasingly complex xEV architectures. The good news is that automakers have become very proficient at building conventionally powered vehicles – so much so that they still comprise the […]
