Rapid System-Level Analysis and Control Design for EV Thermal Management Systems

Thermal management system design and its control play a critical role in the development of electrified powertrains. As modern thermal management systems get more sophisticated and capable, the control system design becomes exponentially more complicated and requires realistic yet fast physical models to be successful. In this talk, see field-proven examples of the latest capabilities of Simulink^® and the Simscape™ product family for modeling automotive thermal management systems and enabling control design with realistic physical plant models. Hear about modeling and parametrization of typical components in the thermal management system of an electrified powertrain and assembling them into a system-level model, which includes both coolant and refrigerant-based systems. You’ll also learn about the workflow of modeling the refrigeration cycle with different levels of fidelity and share resources available to support customers’ modeling efforts.
