Automated Generation of Graph-Based Models for Vehicle Electro-Thermal Systems

Graph-based modeling is a powerful tool for analyzing the dynamics of electro-thermal systems, which are governed by complex physics. The goal of this research is to automatically generate a network graph that illustrates how each mechanism in a vehicle energy system connects to other mechanisms and the environment. The governing differential equations can then be directly coupled and analyzed. This will enable more efficient vehicles by providing advanced insight into the multi-physics interactions between components.
