To optimize vitality consumption and effectivity in EVs, you first want trusted devices to measure it. Based in 1911, Yokogawa Check&Measurement is a worldwide firm that gives a variety of merchandise that measure electrical and optical alerts and different crucial engineering parameters. The corporate’s programs are used throughout industries like vitality, manufacturing, and more and more in EVs and renewable vitality.
Charged just lately chatted with Jose Luis Mezquita Benitez, Software Engineer at Yokogawa, to unpack how their take a look at and measurement options are shaping the way forward for EV improvement.
Yokogawa’s choices—together with the WT5000 energy analyzer, DL950 Modular Oscilloscope + Information Acquisition, and their newer SL2000 system—are optimized for validating powertrain effectivity, charging programs and motor management methods.
Jose described how the WT5000 is particularly designed for benchmarking electrical automobile energy programs. It captures multi-point measurements throughout the EV powertrain to quantify losses, harmonics and effectivity below actual driving situations. The WT5000’s modular structure and multi-channel functionality give engineers the pliability to tailor the setup to their programs.
However uncooked energy knowledge isn’t sufficient. To map management alerts, developments and transient habits, Yokogawa brings within the DL950 modular oscilloscope + knowledge acquisition platform. With the /MT1 possibility, it permits real-time DSP computation (e.g. Park/Clarke transforms), integrating motor d/q currents, encoder alerts and inverter waveforms. This lets engineers perform Most Torque per Ampere (MTPA) evaluation and refine field-oriented management algorithms.
Jose additionally touched on Yokogawa’s newer SL2000 system. Constructed with rackability and system testing in thoughts, it introduces options comparable to stacking, GPS timing and high-speed sampling. These capabilities make it simpler to combine into automated take a look at benches and distributed take a look at setups. The SL2000 is supposed to raise EV testing capabilities throughout lab and discipline environments.
Engineers can discover Yokogawa’s library of utility notes, assets and movies, which cowl use instances like MTPA, inverter effectivity and charging system compliance. With open entry to those supplies, groups can extra quickly validate emergent EV designs.
