What area of Vehicle Electrification does your company specialise in?

• Powertrain Validation and Optimization: Yokogawa offers tools like the WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer and DL950 ScopeCorder to validate and analyse EV powertrains, ensuring high accuracy in measuring energy efficiency, motor control signals and power quality. These instruments help engineers benchmark inverter inputs/outputs, motor outputs, and torque control variables, addressing challenges like distorted waveforms and fluctuating power factors.
• Charging System Development: Yokogawa provides solutions for designing and validating EV charging systems, from board to system level, ensuring compliance with energy efficiency standards and optimizing battery efficiency for charging and regenerative braking systems.
• Battery and Component Testing: The portfolio of Yokogawa’s instruments, including power analysers and oscilloscopes, are used to test and optimise EV battery systems and components, supporting innovations in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), fuel cells, and intelligent transport systems (ITS).
• Motor Control and Efficiency: Yokogawa’s solutions, like the DL950 ScopeCorder with the /MT1 option, facilitate measurements for field-oriented control (FOC) strategies, such as maximum torque per ampere (MTPA), to enhance motor efficiency in EVs.

 

Please outline the key benefits of your speciality.

• Enhanced Powertrain Efficiency: Tools like the WT5000 Precision Power Analyser and DL950 ScopeCorder deliver high-accuracy measurements (up to 0.01% basic power accuracy for WT5000) for inverter and motor performance. This enables engineers to optimize energy efficiency, reduce losses, and improve EV range by fine-tuning powertrain components under real-world conditions.
• Improved Charging System Reliability: Yokogawa’s solutions ensure robust validation of EV charging systems, from onboard chargers to off-board infrastructure. This leads to faster, more efficient charging, compliance with global energy standards, and enhanced battery longevity through precise power quality analysis and regenerative braking optimisation.
• Accurate Battery Performance Testing: Instruments like power analysers and oscilloscopes provide detailed insights into battery charge-discharge cycles and thermal behaviour. This supports the development of safer, longer-lasting, and more efficient EV batteries, critical for consumer adoption and cost reduction.
• Optimised Motor Control: The DL950 ScopeCorder, with options like /MT1 for field-oriented control (FOC), enables precise measurements for strategies like maximum torque per ampere (MTPA). This improves motor efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and enhances vehicle performance, particularly in dynamic driving conditions.
• Streamlined Compliance and Development: Yokogawa’s tools support automotive standards and protocols like CAN, ensuring seamless integration and compliance. This reduces development time and costs by identifying issues early in the design cycle.
• Versatile and Scalable Testing: Our modular instruments, such as the DL950 with up to 200 MS/s sampling, handle diverse measurements (voltage, current, torque, etc.) across lab and field environments. This flexibility accelerates innovation in HEVs, fuel cells, and intelligent transport systems.
• Proven Precision: Through the Yokogawa ISO17025 Accredited Power calibration facility, all stakeholders are assured of precision accuracy and stability.

 

Are there any exciting developments happening within the industry or your company that you can share?

The New SL2000 Scopecorder: Yokogawa Test & Measurement recently launched the SL2000 High-Speed Data Acquisition Unit, an exciting development that enhances their offerings for vehicle electrification testing. This ScopeCorder series product is designed for high-precision measurements in automotive applications, particularly for electric vehicle (EV) powertrains and motors. The SL2000 is rackable, allowing seamless integration into system cabinets for streamlined test setups. It is also stackable, enabling synchronization of up to five SL2000 or DL950 units to expand channel capacity for complex multi-channel measurements. Additionally, the SL2000 is trackable, featuring built-in GPS for precise location-based data logging, which is ideal for field testing and durability assessments. With high-speed sampling up to 200 MS/s and robust noise resistance, the SL2000 accelerates EV development by improving efficiency and reliability in testing processes.
