Virtual Design of Electrified Powertrain Systems

Electrified powertrain engineers design the battery pack, power electronics, and electric machine to meet requirements cascaded from vehicle system level simulations. The motor is energized by a battery that is far from being an ideal voltage source. For example, power delivery from the battery varies as a function of battery State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH), and temperature. On the motor control side, optimal id/iq combinations need to be calibrated, considering fluctuations of the voltage source. In this talk, MathWorks engineers will show how to design a system that is robust to battery power delivery fluctuations.
