Integrating Thermal Management Systems for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

November 8, 2017

Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are intensively being developed by the automotive industry to replace conventional vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. These vehicles specifically require a tighter integration of the thermal management system with the cabin air conditioning. Why are expectations on the cooling system so high for electric vehicles? The Li-ion batteries […]

Stabilizing Hydro Power for the Electrical Grid

August 31, 2017

Hydro-power is often associated with conservative and perhaps stagnant technology development.  But, because it has been around for hundreds of years and many countries rely on the output of power, the maintenance and continued support of these plants is critical. Currently, in Iceland 70% of their electricity is produced from hydroelectric power, therefore constant operation […]

Architecture Based Vehicle Modeling

May 23, 2017

Reviewing Architecture-Based Approaches for Vehicle Modeling All Modelon libraries are developed to adhere to the open-standard, Modelica language. We, at Modelon, thrive in this language standard for many reasons and fully leverage it in the use of templates and model architectures to rapidly create models and model variants. Modelon’s Vehicle Dynamics Library utilizes this template-based […]
