Creating an extensive parameter database for automotive 12 V power net simulations : insights from vehicle measurements in state-of-the-art battery electric vehicles
(2025) Jagfeld, Sebastian Michael Peter; Schlautmann, Tobias; Weldle, Richard; Fill, Alexander; Birke, Kai Peter
The automotive 12 V power net is undergoing significant transitions driven by increasing power demand, higher availability requirements, and the aim to reduce wiring harness complexity. These changes are prompting a transformation of the power net architecture. To understand how future power net topologies will influence component requirements, electrical simulations are essential. They help with analyzing the transient behavior of the future power net, such as under- and over-voltages, over-currents, and other harmful electrical phenomena. The accurate parametrization of simulation models is crucial in order to obtain reliable results. This study focuses on the wiring harness, specifically its resistance and inductance, as well as the loads within the low-voltage power net, including their power profiles and input capacities. The parameters for this study were derived from vehicle measurements in three selected battery electric vehicles from different segments and were enriched by virtual vehicle analyses. As a result, an extensive database of vehicle parameters was created and is presented in this paper, and it can be used for power net simulations. As a next step, the collected data can be utilized to predict the parameters of various configurations in a zonal architecture setup.

How cell design affects the aging behavior : comparing electrode-individual aging processes of high-energy and high-power lithium-ion batteries using high precision coulometry
(2023) Jagfeld, Sebastian Michael Peter; Birke, Kai Peter; Fill, Alexander; Keil, Peter
The aging behavior of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for the development of electric vehicles and many other battery-powered devices. The cells can be generally classified into two types: high-energy (HE) and high-power (HP) cells. The cell type used depends on the field of application. As these cells differ in their electrical behavior, this work investigates whether both cell types also show different aging behavior. More precisely, the occurring capacity loss and internal side reactions are analyzed via the charge throughput. For comparison, aging tests are carried out with a high-precision battery tester, allowing the application of High Precision Coulometry (HPC). This enables early detection of aging effects and also allows us to break down the capacity loss into electrode-individual processes. A total of two sub-studies are performed: (1) a cyclic study focusing on lithium plating; and (2) an accelerated calendar aging study. It is found that HE cells exhibit stronger cyclic aging effects (lithium plating) and HP cells exhibit stronger calendar aging effects. The higher lithium plating can be explained by the higher diffusion resistance of the lithium ions within the electrodes of HE Cell. The higher calendar aging fits to the larger electrode surfaces of the HP cell. These results give deep insights into the proceeding aging in a novel way and are interesting for the selection of the appropriate cell type in the context of battery development. In a next step, the measured capacity losses could also be used for a simple parameterization of battery aging models.
