Simulation Workflow For Efficiency Calculation Of A High-Performance Electric Powertrain


In battery electric vehicles the efficiency of the powertrain has a big impact on driving range and performance. As the overall efficiency of the electric powertrain is typically more than 90%, further optimization is challenging. Especially in high-performance electric vehicles, the efficiency over one or multiple laps on a racing track is crucial. It requires accurate estimation of power loss... » read more
