Application Area
ASM Electric Components is a library of models for the real-time simulation of a vehicle’s electrical system. The possible applications vary from electric drives and inverters for closed-loop control to complete automotive electric systems including a battery, starter, and alternator. The library is typically used to simulate realistic battery behavior during starter activation in order to simulate electric drives that are integrated into a hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV) powertrain. ASM Electric Components can be combined with other ASM products such as the engine models and the vehicle dynamics models to simulate a complete virtual vehicle.
Key Benefits
ASM Electric Components is optimized for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)-based simulations in real time, making it possible to simulate complex ECU networks, including their electrical behavior. Moreover, the simulation automatically adapts to real-time boundary conditions. All the standard automotive components such as the starter, the alternator, and the battery are ready to use, because they are already equipped with the necessary automotive features and characteristics. For instance, the starter comes with an overrunning clutch for decoupling from the crankshaft after ignition.

Impressions of ASM Electric Components
Components
ASM Electric Components consists of components for automotive electrical system simulation, as well as closed-loop simulation components. The electrical system components can be used directly to create the electric circuits of an automotive system, since they are already equipped with all the necessary automotive features. These models are also optimized for real-time HIL simulation. The closed-loop components are ideal for HIL simulation of electric devices such as drives or inverters in a closed control loop. The models offer variable sample times for pulse width modulated (PWM)-synchronous model calculation and optimized solvers for real-time simulation.
