Part 1 introduced the operational challenges associated with battery-powered IoT monitoring devices. Part 2 described how GT‑SUITE and GT‑AutoLion models capture the system physics and battery aging mechanisms. This final part explains how these models integrate into an IoT and cloud architecture, allowing each digital twin to operate as an automated, scalable component of the […]
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 […]
