Novel approach to filtering isolation resistance values in EVs

Alexandru Cojocariu
HV engineer
Iveco Group
Germany
As electric vehicles become increasingly common, the need to ensure their safety and reliability is more important than ever. The most serious electrical issue during the EV life is the loss of isolation between HV bus and the chassis of the vehicle. For this reason, the isolation value must be checked at all times. Such a check is performed by the so-called IMD (isolation monitoring device). On trucks, due to the large number of components, these values are not always stable and coherent. Therefore, a novel filtering algorithm is proposed.

What the audience will learn

  • Current state of IMD technology
  • Particular IMD challenges
  • A new approach to reduce process IMD signals

New solutions for future mobility emission requirements

Dr Simone Eichmann
European product manager - emission monitoring
Horiba Europe
Germany
Due to current and upcoming legislation, the requirements for emissions measurement have changed vastly. New components such as N2O and NMOG are to be included. Additionally, alternative fuels are gaining more importance in the transition to carbon neutrality in the mobility sector. Therefore, emission monitoring test cells need to be adapted to those requirements. This session will give an overview of how to meet these challenges and how they affect current test equipment for various types of mobility, including light- and heavy-duty vehicles.

What the audience will learn

  • Current and upcoming legislations information
  • Requirements for emissions measurement
  • Info on new components such as N2O and NMOG
