    A high frequency alternating current heater using the advantages of a damped oscillation circuit for low voltage Li-ion batteries
    (2024) Oehl, Joachim; Gleiter, Andreas; Manka, Daniel; Fill, Alexander; Birke, Kai Peter
    In many cases, batteries used in light e-mobility vehicles such as e-bikes and e-scooters do not have an active thermal management system. This poses a challenge when these batteries are stored in sub-zero temperatures and need to be charged. In such cases, it becomes necessary to move the batteries to a warmer location and allow them to acclimatize before charging. However, this is not always feasible, especially for batteries installed permanently in vehicles. In this work, we present an internal high-frequency AC heater for a 48 V battery, which is used for light electric vehicles of EU vehicle classes L1e and L3e-A1 for a power supply of up to 11 kW. We have taken advantage of the features of a damped oscillating circuit to improve the performance of the heater. Additionally, only a small inductor was added to the main current path through a cable with three windings. Furthermore, as the power electronics of the heater is part of the battery main switch, fewer additional parts inside the battery are required and therefore a cost and space reduction compared to other heaters is possible. For the chosen setup we reached a heating rate of up to 2.13 K min -1 and it was possible to raise the battery temperature from -10 °C to 10 °C using only 3.1% of its own usable capacity.

    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.
