Testing Inverters with Electric Motor Emulators-Slides

Abstract: In this webinar, the presenter will his experience and thoughts on the use of electric motor emulators for testing and validation of inverters.
The first part of the presentation will cover an overview of typical test and validation elements and steps and some of the trends considering increasing electrification and growth of electric vehicles.
The second part of the presentation will discuss the essential elements of an electric motor emulator, how it can be used for testing an inverter in lieu of a conventional dyno, typical tests that can be done using an emulator test system including performance, durability, environmental, that address functionality and compliance.
The third part of the presentation will cover challenges and considerations that need to kept in mind as people consider using emulator based test systems. We will look at motor models and real-time implementation, considerations to ensure high fidelity representation of motor behavior, means and mechanisms to study faulted behaviors.
Through this webinar, the audiences can expect an in-depth overview of this fast-growing approach to improve test efficiency and effectiveness and spark ideas and discussions to continuously improve design and development cycles.
