Balancing Range and Occupant Thermal Comfort for Mass Transit Applications

The relationship between vehicle range and occupant comfort is an important consideration for EVs. Effective HVAC controllers are critical for maintaining the optimum occupant comfort while preserving vehicle range. Maintaining occupant comfort is more challenging for commercial vehicles; where the vehicle is large and has many occupancy configurations. Join us at 9AM Thursday, November 19, 2020 to learn how you can accurately simulate this tradeoff using a coupled transient simulation with TAITherm and GT-SUITE.

This class will introduce the use of GT-AutoLion and GT-SUITE for modeling of battery systems, modules, and cells. This course is targeted towards engineers responsible for battery sizing, cell selection, battery characterization, battery performance modeling, and battery life prediction.

This class will consist of a mix of presentations and interactive model building exercises. The following are the primary topics to be covered:

Electrochemical Modeling of Lithium-ion Cells with GT-AutoLion: The fundamentals behind electrochemical modeling will be taught and participants will gain experience in building electrochemical models in GT-AutoLion. Additionally, participants will learn to build calibrated GT-AutoLion models of Li-ion cells from information on a cell’s specifications sheet.

Electrical-Equivalent Modeling of Batteries & Characterization: Electrical-equivalent battery models will be introduced and the participant will learn how to define these models in GT-SUITE and GT-AutoLion as well as how to characterize these models from experimental or GT-AutoLion test data.

Electro-Thermal Battery Modeling: The participant will learn various options for linking electrical-equivalent or electrochemical battery models to thermo-fluids models of battery systems.

Integration with Vehicle System Models: The participant will learn how various battery models may be integrated with vehicle system models to accomplish transient vehicle drive cycle analyses, electric vehicle range prediction, or vehicle performance analyses.

Due to the limited number of seats, priority will be given to commercial clients.

Turbocharger System Integration with AxSTREAM and GT-POWER

Registration for this webinar is available on the SoftInWay website.

In many engine boosting applications, a third-party turbocharger needs to be integrated into a powertrain and the respective GT-POWER engine models. The challenge is that turbocharger map data is not always available for all scenarios and maps are often extrapolated/interpolated to provide usable inputs into engine system models. These assumptions often lead to unreliable off-design performance predictions from data that is not supplied by the vendors. But what if you could generate any performance map for a turbocharger from the existing wheel or re-generate geometry if you do not have any wheel geometry available?

In this seminar, attendees will learn how to reverse engineer any turbocharger from existing geometry and predict its performance at any operating point using AxSTREAM. Attendees will be walked through the steps of how to extract blade profile information and produce complete performance maps for a given machine at off-design points. We will also show how you can re-generate and explore flow path geometry options if you do not have wheel geometry available and create performance maps that better satisfy your engine model requirements. Finally, we will show how the performance maps generated from AxSTREAM can be directly integrated into GT-POWER for complete engine modeling. By the end of the seminar, attendees will have a strong understanding of how to: reverse engineer a turbocharger; predict performance maps for use in system simulations; and evaluate the effects of design modifications to the blade geometry on the performance map.

This seminar will show a live demonstration of the workflows in AxSTREAM and GT-POWER to perform turbocharger integration. We recommend that you install the trial software and files on your PC but it is not required.

This session will include:

Reverse engineering of turbochargers from existing geometry (CAD or measured)
Reconstructed blade geometry from preliminary design solver (NO input geometry required!)
Performance Map predictions
Integration of generated performance maps in GT-POWER
Design modifications to achieve desired performance maps

Improving xEV Thermal Management System Design by Utilizing AC and Cabin Simulation in GT-SUITE – North America

In this webinar, the optimization of a xEV thermal management system design will be presented, with the focus on utilizing AC and cabin simulation within GT-SUITE. The motivation is to show the impact of the optimization not only on the AC system and the cabin itself, but also to look at the big picture: how will the changes to the AC system effect the xEV´s total range, SOC and human comfort? A dedicated example will be presented during the webinar showcasing a full xEV built within GT-SUITE. Additionally the potential of optimization of such models will be shown. At the end of the webinar, we will open it up to a live Q&A.

Topics included:

Brief introduction to the model building workflow in GT-SUITE
Demonstration of a full xEV example model
Full tour through Case Setup and DOE Setup
