  • Publication number: 20240380353
    Abstract: In order to monitor the temperature of an electromechanical machine using electrical operating data of the machine, structural data concerning a geometry, a thermal conductivity and an electrical conductivity of elements of the machine is imported. Using the structural data and the electrical operating data, electrical energy losses in the machine are continuously simulated in a spatially resolved manner by means of an electrical simulation model of the machine. Furthermore, a temperature distribution in the machine is continuously simulated by means of a thermal simulation model of the machine using the structural data and the simulated electrical energy losses. In accordance with the simulated temperature distribution, a temperature value is then determined for a component of the machine and output in order to monitor its temperature.

  • Publication number: 20240170757
    Abstract: A battery pack has a closed housing with an inner receiving space for several battery cells. The housing has a general basic shape with first and second side walls. The side walls of the housing are made of a heat-conducting material. The inner surfaces of the side walls limit the receiving space. In order to create a thermally balanced battery pack, a cell assembly including several battery cells is accommodated in the receiving space. A battery cell has flat sides and edge sides. The battery cells lie with their flat sides stacked next to each other such that there are outer battery cells and inner battery cells. The outer battery cells rest with their flat sides in a flat and heat-transferring manner against the inner surfaces of the first side walls of the housing, and the inner battery cells are heat-transferring to the outer battery cells of the cell assembly.
