The Bright Advantage
eSolutions offers OEMs high-volume EV and hybrid control solutions focusing on system design, development and integration. Our custom-designed control systems communicate intelligently with other subsystems, integrating existing powertrains with new electric motors and control algorithms. Flexible and robust for production, eSolutions control systems are proven through a detailed verification and validation process.
Component Selection
eSolutions engineers will analyze your system using simulation tools to identify the components best suited to your unique volume production application, including electric machine selection, battery pack sizing, thermal-system components and inverters/converters. We can also assist with sourcing these components through our established supplier base.
Control Method Development
eSolutions control strategies for EV and hybrid operating modes are modeled and optimized through total system simulation. Vehicle control algorithms are implemented using model-based controls and code-generation tools that provide quick and cost-effective design and development cycles.
Calibration & Optimization
Our calibration tools are developed in parallel with the control models to provide a robust system. Starting with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and ending with embedded controls tested on the Bright Automotive chassis dynamometer, our system controls are optimized and refined through a robust development process.
Performance Testing & Evaluation
We perform all required system testing, including initial vehicle calibration, traction system motoring, regenerative braking and limited traction conditions using road load and federal drive cycles.
