Optimizing a Battery Electric Vehicle Thermal Management System

In this webinar, you’ll see how to build a virtual vehicle to simulate the thermal management system that includes:

• Battery, motor, and transmission
• Cabin model
• Refrigerant loop (for the cabin)
• Coolant loop (for motor and battery)

The resulting virtual vehicle will be used to:

• Test different drive cycles and environmental conditions
• Perform sensitivity analysis
• Optimize model to improve thermal performance and consumption

Please allow approximately 45 minutes to attend the presentation and Q&A session. We will be recording this webinar, so if you can't make it for the live broadcast, register and we will send you a link to watch it on-demand.
