08:45 AM - 09:15 AM KEYNOTE
Optimization of the Electric Powertrain using Machine Learning Methods
Mathias Derksen, Technical Expert - Electric Motor Design and Optimization, Volkswagen AG
Shorter development cycles and increasing numbers of applications require faster development cycles. Simulation and design of
electric drives must therefore output an optimum between costs and efficiency within a short time. In order to get an optimal
design of an electric machine considering transmission and power unit and to speed up the time of design, machine learning
methods are used. In this talk we will look at:
Structure of parameterized EM designs

DoE building using LHS and automated calculation of all EM designs generated in the statistical design of experiments
MOP formation using machine learning methods with optiSLang
Holistic Optimization of the e-drive under consideration of constraints to be met and consideration of selected objective
functions based on MOP with subsequent validation of optimal designs
09:15 AM - 09:45 AM CASE STUDY
Route-based optimization for Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle
Clément Dextreit, Senior Technical Specialist Electrified Powertrain, Changan UK R&D Centre Ltd.
The current test standard definition for PHEVs is based around 2 distinct vehicle operations: Charge Depletion, where the vehicle
runs in electric vehicle only mode, from full HV battery charge to the first engine start, and charge sustain where the vehicle has
to balance its State of Charge over the course of one certification cycle. This approach will lead to real world operation that are
not always optimum in respect to energy savings. In this presentation, we are going to highlight how we could improve this
situation with advanced knowledge of the drive cycle, using satellite navigation data, and how much savings this type of strategy
could yield.In this session, you will learn more about:
Plug-in hybrid electrical vehicle

Certification procedure for PHEVs

the system level, the session provides insights into the average value of efficiency of the powertrain.
Managing Risk through Functional Safety Framework & Addressing Challenges for Electric Vehicles
Madhusudan Vaderahalli Lingarajappa, Senior Functional Safety HV Engineer - Electric Vehicle Safety, Jaguar Land Rover UK
With Electric Vehicles on a slow ramp-up phase, the concentration is now on the safety of electric powertrain. Safety first by
design belongs to the main criteria that we should have to ensure reliable functions. The ISO 26262 standard helps in these areas.
With electric powertrain taking CenterStage the task of Functional Safety and its assessment in a function and the system and in
turn the vehicle become more important. Safety Goals shall be derived for an item which leads to the functional safety
requirements needed to avoid an unreasonable risk for each hazardous event. In this session, we will present the feasibility of
safety analysis with an example covering the overview of the safety specification, evolution of vehicles, addressing challenges to
the electric vehicles. Find out more about

Towards Sustainable Electrification in the Automotive Industry – Challenges, Trends & Implications from a Powertrain
Development Perspective
Alexander Busse, Lead Expert Sustainability Strategies, fka GmbH

Vehicle manufactures not only have to comply with current and future CO2 regulation, they also increasingly commit themselves
to with ambitious ESG targets. Holistically optimize the automotive life cycle with the aim to become carbon-neutral. This is
generating a high pressure for innovation on vehicle manufacturers and the upstream supply chain as well as the demand for a
transparent reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.The presentation discusses the position of hydrogen in the automotive
industry against the background of the increasing montization of CO2. A special focus is put on the impact on future CO2
regulations and how technology decisions are influenced if CO2 would be monetized in the use-phase.

02:00 PM - 04:00 PM E-MOTOR TRACK
Endless winding stator – The answer of Vitesco Technologies for stator with higher number of layers by nearly same
performance like Hair Pin
Astrid Haas, Head of eMotor Advanced Materials & Technologies, Vitesco Technologies
In compact electric traction machines, the technology used for the stator winding is key to meeting high performance and
efficiency requirements at reasonable cost. Thus, Vitesco Technologies has developed a specific process to manufacture stator
wave windings. The endless winding by VT concept offers advantages when applied to designs with a high number of winding
layers. For High speed e-Axle Drivesit has proven beneficial to apply stator wave winding concepts with a high copper slot fill
factor of between 60 and 70 % and short winding heads to ensure the targeted compact design. A perfect fit between copper
conductor and stator slot ensures an optimal heat dissipation, which in turn facilitates very high and permanently usable stator
current densities. Stator wave windings offer specific advantages for that purpose because they make it feasible to flexibly vary
the length of sheet stacks and to apply different winding control switching technologies. Additionally, varying winding layer
numbers are easily realized, which increases the choice of possible effective layer counts. A higher number of layers also benefits
the frequency-dependent PCUs (AC). Let`s see what`s new in our way of continuous wave winding stator and how we close the
gap to Hair Pin stator performance and develop a real alternative for higher number of layers as required today by the market. In
this sessions, you will learn more about

Electric motors see incremental advances – Can new motor concepts provide a step-change in improvements?

Electric vehicles command a cost premium and so there have been further developments to lower cost, size and weight, as well as
raising efficiency and performance. But new motor concepts are increasingly emerging that claim to offer a step-change from
conventional permanent magnet synchronous machines. In this session, you will learn more about how
Designs reducing rare-earth materials are being developed to limit cost

Motor integration with power electronics and drivetrains into e-axles enable cost, size and weight reduction
Enhancements in motor cooling, stator windings and being driven at 800 Volts have been made to raise motor

New motor concepts are being developed to raise efficiency and performance over the conventional permanent magnet
synchronous motors
Holistic Assessment of E-Motor Technologies in Automotive Applications
Jonas Hemsen, Research Assistant - System Design of Full-Electrical and Hybrid Drivetrains, Institute for Automotive Engineering
(ika) - RWTH Aachen University
In order to develop better electric powertrains, electric motors should not be developed isolated, but holistically, taking also the
interactions to other components (e.g. transmissions and inverter) into account. In this presentation, an approach is shown to do
exactly this: to develop electric motors as part of a complete drive system. The presented method is used for a big simulation
study, of which the goal is to identify those electric motor technologies which lead to the best compromise between performance
and costs on drive system level. This is done for three different vehicle classes, where costs and performance criteria have
differing weights/importance. The investigated e-motor technologies comprise cooling systems, iron and magnet materials and
winding technology (e.g. hairpin vs. litz wire). In this session, you will learn more about
How to consider all parts of the electric drive system during the early development stage of the components
Advanced simulation and design methods for electric motors
Production costs modelling of electric motors
Best e-motor technologies (cooling system, winding, etc.) for each vehicle class
New super compact winding technology for highly efficient and lightweight e-motors
Roland Kasper, Director of the Institute of Mobile Systems (em), Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg
A new winding technology maximizes all active copper components in the slots and/or in the air gap by adapted shaping of
conductors while all passive copper components outside stator and air gap, e.g. in the winding heads, are minimized to the
shortest possible length. This brings phase resistance as well as the axial length and weight of the motor to the bottom, while
efficiency is at top. A topologically optimized design of the winding as well as several methods for its cost-effective manufacturing
are presented. Example results of a) a very compact design of a wheel hub motor with gearbox for a cargo bicycle, b) a high
efficiency design for a vehicle drive motor, and c) a lightweight design for a drone motor with air gap winding proves the power of
the new technology. In this session, you will learn more about:
New winding technology for high efficiency & lightweight e-motors,

Super compact winding for high fill factors and small size
New methods of cost-efficient high quality winding manufacturing,
Adapted manufacturing methods for small, medium and large e-motor size,
Adapted manufacturing methods for small, medium and high volume.

A holistic approach for the virtual development of transmissions in electric powertrains
Marie Hermanns, System Simulation and Optimization Researcher, Volkswagen AG
In standardized processes, transmission designs are usually manually chosen out of the wide solution space based on rough
calculations and experience from previous projects. However, this standard has a lack of efficiency caused by unnecessary design
loops and a low level of automation. Furthermore, the common approach limits the room for innovative transmission variants.
While focusing on bearing and shafts, both issues can be addressed by the given opportunities of CAE and artificial intelligence.
The data based approach connects common synthesis and design methods in an advantageous way to find the right concept and
a feasible geometry for the bearings and shafts. In this session, you will learn more about:

VALEO E-Powertrain I NVH Test Validation vs Specifications
Eric Rumeau, NVH Test Department Manager, VALEO Powertrain Systems Driveline
NVH issues much more complex to integrate in a development cycle and in a reduced time. Taking into account the higher
excited frequency range and the multiplicity of the sources, the NVH testing of the powertrain becomes a difficult task.
Simplifying the system, powertrain could be considered as a simple acoustic source we would have to characterize following the
established norms, however, our R&D test devices have multiple other functions (efficiency or reliability) and we must adapt our
need to a shared equipment which presents difficult environmental conditions. An estimation of the acoustic power (ERP) seems
the best way to support the project keeping flexibility of our test devices and it is supported by hypothesis already validated in
simulation using the normal housing vibratory velocity and a good assumption of the radiation coefficient.

The role of novel manufacturing and the circular economy in enabling a sustainable e-motor future

Sustainability is a key component of any future e-motor design, and to achieve net zero goals, circular economy strategies must
not be an afterthought, but an integral part of the design conversation. This talk will discuss some of the challenges that need to
be overcome, as well as opportunities that are presented by rethinking the way that e-motors are designed and manufactured.
Topics that will be discussed include the use ofenergy efficient near-net-shape manufacturing routes;the implementation of
‘Design for’ strategies to promote optimal disassembly, reuse, and remanufacture; and the development a circular economy
approach that uses data driven intelligence to select the appropriate intervention strategy at the optimal point in the products life
cycle. Combining these approaches will not only ensure a more sustainable product, but will also provide additional benefits by
opening up the design space for next generation motors. In this session, you will learn,
How approaching manufacturing challenges in a different way could provide additional benefits, and open up the design

Why a circular economy approach does not dictate one solution, but is an alternative way of approaching the problem
How finding truly sustainable solutions will require the implementation of small changes throughout the machine life
cycle, to add up to large changes overall, without a compromise on performance
Why recycling is one potential end of life strategy but comes low on the overall circular economy hierarchy- other
approaches offer less energy intensive and resource efficient solutions
