HORIBA Technical Presentations at EPC 2024:
Complex and Nonlinear Resistance Changes of NMC/Gr Cells During Ageing
Presenter: Richard Stocker, Principal Engineer-Battery Test Systems, HORIBA; Asim Mumtaz, University of York; Neophytos Lophitis, Cyprus University of Technology CUT
Date & Time: November 12, 2024 - 11:30 a.m. (Paper 2024-01-4325)
In this session, Richard Stocker will present a 9-month case study examining the resistance changes that occur in NMC/Gr cells during aging. The research highlights how these resistance changes are complex and nonlinear across various operating conditions such as temperature and state-of-the-art, affecting battery modeling and control applications. This work emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of these changes to optimize energy storage solutions.
Automatic Parameter Scheduling of Equivalent Circuit Battery Models Using Local Linear Model Trees and Amplitude-Modulated Pseudo-Random Excitation Signals
Presenters: Jack Prior, Loughborough University; Luke Bates, Senior Innovation Engineer, Steve Whelan, Global Solution Leader & Experienced Technical Director, HORIBA MIRA; Byron Mason, RMIT Vietnam; James Knowles, Loughborough University; Richard Stocker, Principal Engineer-Battery Test Systems, HORIBA
Date & Time: November 12, 2024 - 12:30 p.m. (Paper 2024-01-4328)
This session presents a novel methodology for fast characterization of battery cells, developed through a collaboration between HORIBA MIRA and Loughborough University. By utilizing local linear model trees and amplitude-modulated pseudo-random excitation signals, this technique accelerates the process of developing battery simulation models during the early development phase. The insights gained from this research have significant implications for reducing battery system development times.
The Prediction of Performance and Emissions for Synthetic Machine Handling Cycles Utilizing a Powertrain Empirical Digital Twin
Presenters: Phil Roberts, Technical Specialist, Luke Bates, Senior Innovation Engineer, Steve Whelan, Global Solution Leader & Experienced Technical Director, HORIBA MIRA; Elisabetta Leo, Marco Ezio Pezzola, Claudio Maroni, Lead Engineer, Soluzioni Ingegneria; Steven Child, Senior Technical Sales Manager, IPG Automotive UK
Date & Time: November 13, 2024 - 12:00 p.m. (Paper 2024-01-4271)
This presentation will demonstrate the integration of HORIBA’s Empirical Digital Twin methodology with AgriSI, an advanced agricultural simulation software developed by Soluzioni Ingegneria. Led by Claudio Maroni, AgriSI enables the prediction of machine performance and emissions during real-world agricultural tasks, such as ploughing, seeding, and roading. By using georeferenced on-field scenarios and considering soil characteristics, this work in collaboration with IPG Automotive provides a comprehensive virtual testing platform. The co-simulation methodology reduces the reliance on physical testing, which is crucial as off-highway emissions regulations become stricter. This innovative tool combines the virtual and physical expertise of HORIBA, Soluzioni Ingegneria, and IPG Automotive, ensuring efficient and reliable performance prediction for agricultural machinery.
