France-based Silicon Mobility announced the availability of OLEA APP INVERTER HE—a high efficiency inverter and electric motor control application. The new inverter is optimized for the OLEA FPCU (Field Programmable Control Unit) which increases the range of hybrid and electric vehicles up to 20% with the same battery capacity. The OLEA FPCU is an automotive semiconductor solution designed to process critical information faster with 100% predictability and accuracy. The OLEA APP INVERTER HE is a complete suite of software components which includes: The OLEA APP INVERTER HE is the first addition to the OLEA APP High Efficiency application software products portfolio. The portfolio products are specifically designed to be executed on the OLEA FPCU semiconductor platform from Silicon Mobility. OLEA APP increases range and performance of EVs and HEVs while reducing energy consumption and pollutant emission. OLEA APP runs on OLEA FPCU and includes rich libraries of advanced control algorithms dedicated to electrified powertrain. OLEA APP INVERTER HE integrates novel adaptive control algorithms which apply the most suitable control strategy upon requested power, motor angle, and speed. OLEA APP INVERTER HE controls the inverter and e-Motor cutting energy losses into the power switches and into the electric motor while extending the operating range of the e-Motor. Simulations on a WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures) cycle demonstrate an energy gain of 20% when compared to incumbent multi-core microcontroller-based applications. An immediate and effective way to increase electric vehicles range is to use a better and smarter solution to control the electric powertrain. This is exactly what we offer with OLEA APP INVERTER HE running on OLEA FPCU. Our technology is applicable for every electric and hybrid vehicle. With OLEA APP INVERTER HE, our customers will achieve their goal to build the most energy efficient vehicle. —Bruno Paucard, CEO of Silicon Mobility The OLEA APP INVERTER HE comes as an AUTOSAR 4.3 software package including the inverter Application Software components (ASW) and the inverter Complex Device Drivers (CDD). The OLEA APP INVERTER HE offers a high level of adaptability to match a wide range of inverter and electric motor topologies.
French technology company Silicon Mobility has unveiled its OLEA APP INVERTER HE, which can increase the range of hybrids and EVs by 20% with the same battery capacity while using less energy. The high efficiency inverter and electric motor control software is designed for use with the OLEA Field Programmable Control Unit, an automobile semiconductor which processes information quickly and accurately. The latest product utilises adaptive algorithms to control a car's inverter and motor in a precise manner, thereby reducing energy losses to increase operational range.
