Many types of hybrid and electric drive (E-Drive) control systems are being developed for platforms in several industries. These systems also use Battery Management Systems (BMS) to handle their demanding power needs. However, the development of these technologies brings increased system complexity, evident in the many platform variants and control algorithms of various electronic control units (ECUs).
dSPACE provides comprehensive solutions for E-Drive or BMS development, from providing proper hardware I/O interfaces for prototyping/testing these applications to real-time models for simulation of these controlled systems. There is also the need for consideration of power and safety requirements and precision of the simulation or control capability.
This presentation will cover RCP and HIL systems and models for the development and validation of E-Drive and BMS control systems. Specific implementation techniques for model processing and interfaces in real-time along with critical power interface and electrical hardware functionality will be shown.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Real-time Simulation Models for Electric Motors and Battery Systems
• Rapid Prototyping hardware for E-Drive and BMS Development
• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulators for testing E-Drive/BMS Systems

Maximizing Battery Performance and Reliability for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
As automakers and utilities transition away from non-renewable energy sources, batteries have become essential for efficient energy storage and delivery. Companies are working intensely to deliver higher capacity and more robust batteries to power their products, but ad hoc development processes cannot keep pace with the volume of battery data being generated. In addition, understaffed battery development teams are unable to leverage their data to accelerate development or improve production and manufacturing.
In this webinar, we will outline the challenges that the battery industry is facing and how big data analytics can virtually eliminate manual data management and provide powerful capabilities that deliver rapid insights into a battery’s design that dramatically accelerate the development process and results in products with greater performance and reliability.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Recognizing the challenges and bottlenecks in battery development today
• Automating the battery data collection, data cleaning, and data management process
• Identifying design issues earlier with predictive analytics
• Leveraging metadata to understand the impact of materials, processes and test conditionsPresenter

Battery Selection Tutorial Course 1/3: Selecting your Cell and Cell Manufacturer(s)
After designing your product, you need to ensure the battery with which you are operating it will ensure the right performance and lifetime. When deciding this, narrowing down which chemistry (e.g. Li-ion, lithium primary, NiMH, etc.) best fits your product and which form factor are some of the first steps. Choosing a cell design (high-power vs. high-energy, for example) is another step and finally, finding the right cell manufacturer to fabricate your cells and packs. This webinar is the first in a three-part series on designing the right battery for your product. It will cover many of the key differences in chemistries, form factors, and cell designs and other best practices.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Choosing the right chemistry for your application
• Choosing the right form factor
• Choosing cell designs (e.g. high power vs. high-energy)Presenter

Battery Selection Tutorial Course 3/3: Integrating Your Battery Into Your Product – Designing for Worst-Case Scenarios
The last part in Exponent’s three-part series, this webinar will focus on the finished product from the viewpoint of the battery. How can you best protect your battery within your device? Is your battery going to be user-replaceable? If you’re creating multi-cell packs, how should they be separated from (yet still connected to) each other? Should a thermal event occur, how can you prevent that from cascading through the whole pack? This webinar will help to answer many of those questions, and discuss design questions to help safeguard your battery pack throughout its entire lifecycle.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Creating multi-cell packs
• Containing thermal runaway eventsPresenter

Battery Ageing – How Modeling is Used to Predict Battery Life
Battery modeling and simulation makes it possible to analyze multiple operating conditions and design parameters for batteries and other electrochemical systems and processes. By developing mathematical models you can begin to understand the interaction of electrochemical and chemical processes in the battery and how these processes affect the performance and life of the battery.
In this presentation, we will take a look at the benefits of modeling and simulation in the design, selection, and operation of a lithium-ion battery. We will especially take a look at how modeling can be used together with testing. These results provide manufacturers and application experts with the data to not only predict battery life but to analyze the implications of design parameters and operating conditions to better understand the limitation of the battery.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Benefits of modeling and simulations in the design, selection, and operation of a lithium-ion battery
• Implications of design parameters and operating conditions with respect to experimental observations of battery performance, aging, and battery safety
• How battery modeling can be used together with testingPresenter
