Electrified Vehicle Thermal Management Modeling

Note that this is a paid event, and the cost in INR with payment instructions are mentioned below.

This two-day course will focus on design, evaluation, and optimization of cooling and HVAC systems for electric vehicles. Additionally, this training will introduce the use of GT-SUITE software for modeling the distribution of heat within batteries. Battery heat distribution models enable users to design and optimize the battery pack and its related cooling components such as cooling plates or fins. Furthermore, those models can be used to integrate the thermal and electric domains to study system level effects and help design other components like the BMS. The course is targeted towards engineers with responsibility for battery cooling or total vehicle energy management. This course will cover the process of building and calibrating battery heat distribution models, beginning from CAD data. The process involves significant use of the 3D pre-processing tools of GT-SUITE (GEM3D and GT-SpaceClaim). During the course of the training standalone battery model will be integrated into a system level electric vehicle thermal management model.
