As the demand for electric vehicles and sustainable technologies grows, the need for advanced test and verification methods for electric powertrains becomes increasingly important. This presentation explores trends in e-powertrain development and the related testing requirements. A key topic is the integration of model-based development and testing. Additional focus will be given to challenging topics, such as energy efficiency, NVH, durability and EMC – and how we can handle these.

In this presentation, you will get:

• Insights into challenges with emerging e-motor technologies, such as FPGA-based motor control and >800-volt systems with wide band-gap inverters
• Find out how the industry can significantly accelerate the development of next-generation electric drives – by performing less testing!
• Examples of how widely accepted methods and assumptions no longer hold when we are pushing boundaries in e-motor development 

• How will requirements on e-motors change in the future?
• How can we ensure that rapid development does not compromise the reliability and safety of e-motors?
• How can advanced materials, such as high-conductivity thermal interfaces or new magnet compositions, address energy efficiency challenges in e-motor design?
• What are the implications of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in e-motor systems, and how can testing protocols be adapted to mitigate these effects?
• How can modular testing setups improve the scalability of e-motor testing processes while ensuring compliance with industry standards?
• What technical skills related to simulation, data analysis, electromagnetics and material science will be critical for the next generation of engineers in the e-motor industry?
