The project focused on creating detailed schematics and designing 3D routing for the Master Battery Management System (MBMS). The scope includes: Creating Schematics: Developing comprehensive schematics using tabulated data provided by the client and data sheets. These schematics will serve as a blueprint for the MBMS. Designing 3D Routing: Designing the 3D routing layout for the MBMS, ensuring optimal placement and connectivity of components within the vehicle's battery management system.
Electrical Systems Architecture
Master Battery Management System (MBMS) Design
Our client is a leading provider of smart, electric mobility solutions specializing in economically viable electric vehicles (EVs) for intra-city commercial fleets. Their product range includes light commercial vehicles (LCVs) weighing 1.5 tons to heavy-duty buses and trucks weighing up to 20 tons. They integrate critical attributes of smart electric mobility to meet the diverse needs of their fleet customers.
Scope
Challenge
The primary challenge was to integrate the MBMS within the confined space of commercial electric vehicles while ensuring efficient routing and connectivity. Key issues included: Complexity of Integration: Balancing the MBMS components in a space-efficient manner while maintaining accessibility for maintenance. Data Accuracy: Ensuring that the schematics accurately reflected the tabulated data and data sheets provided by the client. Connectivity and Routing: Designing a 3D routing system that minimises interference with other vehicle systems and adheres to safety standards.
Solution
The solution involved a two-pronged approach: Schematics Creation: Data Analysis: Reviewed and analysed the tabulated data and data sheets to develop accurate schematics. Detailed Design: Created detailed electrical schematics that outline the connections and interactions between MBMS components. 3D Routing Design: Component Placement: Designed the 3D layout for MBMS components, ensuring optimal placement within the vehicle's battery compartment. Routing Optimisation: Developed routing paths that minimise interference with other vehicle systems and facilitate ease of installation and maintenance. Design Validation: Performed simulations to validate the design and ensure it meets performance and safety requirements.
