Eliminate the Guess Work in Battery Modeling Selections System-level design engineers have a difficult task. They deal with challenging questions such as: What Lithium-ion cells work best for a particular application; How many cells should be placed in series and parallel; or What type of motor and drive technology should be used? They have to […]
Unlocking the Potential of eVTOL Aircraft for Taxi Services: Advancing On-Demand Transportation Safely and Efficiently The world is rapidly advancing towards an integrated and accessible on-demand transportation network. Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles have emerged as the ideal solution for the near future, offering faster and more efficient travel options. However, ensuring the […]
Governmental Regulations Impacting Automotive OEMs In recent news, new vehicle tailpipe governmental regulations in the United States have softened for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) development of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids (HEVs). The Department of Energy has significantly slowed the phase-out of existing rules that give automakers extra fuel-economy credit for electric and hybrid vehicles […]
Vehicle Level Simulation is a rapidly expanding technique which most OEMs are exploring to help reduce testing cost and time. To be effective, these simulations must accurately represent the vehicle being simulated. This can be achieved in two steps, first by collecting the data required for modeling and feeding it into a simulation tool to […]
Optimizing Power Converter Design through Simulation Optimal power converter design requires a fine balance between design efficiency and physical testing costs. Finding the right efficiency point can be expensive for companies — simply jumping from 98% to 99% efficiency could double the converter cost. In this blog, we’re going to explore the technical approaches power […]
A few weeks ago, a 656-foot-long ship known as the Felicity Ace caught fire in the North Atlantic as it was transporting its cargo, including various automotive luxury brands, from Germany to Rhode Island. The fire broke out in the ship’s hold and continued to spread. Thankfully, all 22 crew members safely abandoned the vessel. […]
Learn the basics of Li-ion technology and two popular battery modeling techniques: electrical-equivalent behavioral models and electrochemical physical models.
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 […]
Learn how to use the new integration between GT-SUITE and JMAG-Express Online for accurate concept-level electric motor design.
Learn how different charging protocols impact the tradeoff between reducing the time required to charge a battery and maximizing the life of a battery.
