Driving innovation in electric motion systems
See how ETAS solutions are addressing critical challenges in electric vehicle development, delivering optimized performance, extended range, and accelerated time-to-market.
Battery management system analysis and calibration
The challenge: The battery is the heart of any electric vehicle, dictating range, power, and overall cost. Optimizing its operation – particularly managing hundreds of individual cells and their subtle differences – is crucial. Engineers must ensure peak performance, extended lifespan, and safety while handling massive volumes of similar signals and minimizing voltage imbalances that can lead to wear or damage.
The ETAS solution
Our INCA ecosystem provides specialized visualization and calculation tools specifically designed for battery cell data. Within a familiar environment, engineers can:
Visualize comprehensive cell data
Specific instruments in INCA and MDA present data from all battery cells in a compact, comprehensive view, instantly highlighting cells exceeding user-defined limits and categorizing imbalances.
Perform advanced array-based calculations
Complex, array-based calculations enable detailed analysis of battery data, working on multiple inputs to provide pre-defined outputs for further analysis or visualization.
Seamless BMS integration
Integrate directly with existing battery management systems, eliminating the need for additional, specialized measurement hardware.
Fuel cell system optimization
The challenge: Fuel cell systems, like batteries, consist of numerous cells where precise operation is controlled by balance-of-plant components. Monitoring individual cell voltages (Cell Voltage Monitoring – CVM) is often the only way to assess the health and optimal functioning of the fuel cell stack. Analyzing this huge number of voltage signals and optimizing the balance-of-plant control system is essential for achieving desired power, efficiency, and longevity.
The ETAS solution
The proven INCA ecosystem extends its capabilities to fuel cell development, offering customized visualization and analysis tools for fuel cell stacks:

Specialized array-based calculations
Complex calculations are tailored for detailed analysis of fuel cell data, working across multiple inputs to deliver critical insights into operation and control.
Familiar methodology, new technology
Apply established INCA workflows to fuel cell systems, boosting efficiency through specialized tools in a known environment.
E-Motor & Inverter optimization
The challenge: Maximizing the range of electric vehicles depends heavily on optimizing the efficiency of the e-motor and inverter. Achieving the perfect balance of torque, efficiency, and minimal noise requires precise control of current in stator windings through field-oriented control. Measuring and analyzing the 3-phase output of the inverter in conjunction with ECU signals is a demanding task during development, with the inverter's functionality needing fine-tuning for overall vehicle performance and comfort.
