Abstract

In this work the interactions of the cooling system with the electric drive components of a battery electric bus are assessed by multi-physical domain simulation. A vehicle model with real drive cycle data is applied for the calculation of the torque and speed of the induction machine. These results are then imported to an electro-thermal-mechanical drive model that is fast enough to calculate the thermal conditions of the electric drive throughout an entire drive cycle. With another drive model the maximum values of the junction temperatures that are cooling system and drive cycle dependent, are calculated.
