Zero Compromises: The Integrator’s Role in Delivering Modular Kit Solutions
Most electrification kit solutions found on the market lack true modularity. This means they are nearly always a compromise for the customer and rarely match their needs exactly.
Make no mistake, there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” electrification solution. However, our customizable Kit That Fits will provide you with the perfect fit for your specific requirement.
Avoid delays, cut costs, and eliminate uncertainty
Our gained experience in electrification has taught us what really works and what doesn’t. We don’t need to guess, we have real-world cases proof.
With expert-driven analysis in the very beginning, you’ll benefit from a realistic project schedule and reduce the risks and costly delays. You can move forward with confidence knowing that we’re fully dedicated to every phase of the co-electrification project.
We only work with renown, world-class suppliers. This helps mitigate risks related to geopolitical uncertainty, trade restrictions, and fluctuating component availability by relying on trusted, established supply chains.
The Electrification Kit – Dos and Don’ts
Prelude – The Illusion of a Universal Fit
An electrification kit is generally a system made from a list of pre-selected components that cover as wide of an operation area as possible, so that it would fit many different size machines and use-cases. This inherently means that the kit doesn’t fit any machine perfectly. Also, the electrification kits are typically packaged in fixed size containers with the justification that “it is easy to install”. The reality is that machines differ from type and brand to another. A solution that fits one rarely fits the other; the usable space is typically distributed all around the machine, which means installing large pre-configured containers in a machine could prove difficult. The aesthetics of a container solution hardly pleases the eye either.
Why selecting the right components matters
In electric and hybrid powertrains, poor component choices can lead to compromised performance.
The electric motors might be similarly over- or undersized, making the powertrain inefficient. For example, matching the electric motor nominal operation point incorrectly could decrease the powertrain efficiency over 10%, while selecting the exactly correct winding for speed and torque leads to efficiencies up to 96%.
The energy storage needs to be chosen according to the customer application and ambient where the machine is used. If the energy storage is a lithium-ion battery, the battery chemistry must be selected according to the use-case – there is no “one size fits all” solution and the available space for the energy storage is hardly ever identical between two applications.
Customized Solutions Deliver Quality Results
One thing we keep in mind when designing an electrification kit for our customer is also be made keeping in mind the customers’ needs throughout their full product catalogue in order to minimize the amount of component vendors. When it comes to battery solutions, selecting the correct cell chemistry and thermal management strategy is key.
As an example, we have seen kits where the inverter and motor have been selected to handle over 250 kW constant power, but the same setup is also used for machines that require only 80 kW constant power, which compromises the electric powertrain efficiency.
It’s imperative to realize that one solution does not fit all when it comes to lithium-ion battery systems. The machine ambience, machine duty cycle and charging strategy should guide the selection. If an electric powertrain kit provider carries only one solution and chemistry in their catalogue.
Experience has proven that the quality of battery solutions varies greatly even though on paper the systems would seem nearly identical. In battery electric and hybrid powertrains, the battery system is commonly the most expensive component and selecting the wrong one could prove to be very costly.
