D4.3. Definition And Implementation of a Holistic Digital Twin of the IMD
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This report presents a comprehensive overview of the activities carried out in Work Package 4 (WP4), specifically Task 4.3, of the RHODAS project, which focuses on the design and de-velopment of a digital twin framework for key components of electric powertrains. The developed framework comprises three individual digital twins: the inverter digital twin, the e-motor digital twin, and the gearbox digital twin. The inverter digital twin models the electro-thermal behavior of power electronics modules (SiC and GaN) to support performance moni-toring and failure prediction. The e-motor digital twin captures the thermal behavior of the rotor and stator of the RHODAS e-motor, enabling accurate simulation under various driving condi-tions. The gearbox digital twin is based on a data-driven thermal equivalent circuit model that estimates the gearbox oil temperature using a range of input data.All digital twin models are implemented in both MATLAB/Simulink and C++ to enable seamless integration into the RHODAS cloud platform, supporting both online and offline thermal moni-toring and efficient computation. The deliverable also includes extensive sensitivity analyses to investigate the behavior of the e-motor, power inverter, and gearbox under different operating modes. This outcome delivers a robust and scalable digital twin architecture that enhances monitoring, diagnostics, and pre-dictive maintenance capabilities within the RHODAS electric vehicle platform.
