Energy systems
SHERPA Engineering has been a privileged partner of car manufacturers for 25 years in the field of modelling and control of thermal and multi-energy systems.
We stood by our clients through the various stages of mobility transition, from Stop&Start, through Hybrid vehicles to today’s electric vehicles.
This electrification of mobility has been associated with a new challenge: optimising the use of energy in these systems, particularly thermal energy.
A HIGH ADDED VALUE OFFER TO MEET TODAY’S CHALLENGES
Context and customer issues
- Innovation projects, evaluation, development and integration of new technologies.
Increasing maturity: TRL and IRL - Need to secure thermal and energy architecture choices very early in the projects
- Lack of internal skills in thermal and energy management
Need for skills development - Need to develop control design
- Need for benchmark
- Short deadlines: 6 to 18 months
SHERPA Engineering solutions
- Modelling: digital twins of your thermal, energy and FuelCell systems
- Simulation: digital benches, real dynamic control panels allowing you to test your physical models or your control models
- Benchmark: software solutions that integrate true digital twins of many competing electric vehicles (Tesla, Jaguar, BMW, Hyundai, etc.)
- Control design: we develop SWs for the control of thermal and FuelCell systems in Model Based Design. The entire MBD, autocoding and validation (xIL) process is mastered
- Customised modes of intervention: from resident engineers to fixed-price studies (with deliverables)
Customer benefits
- Time savings: engineering studies based on digital modelling and simulation bring real time savings, robustness and flexibility, particularly in the management of modifications and versions
- Reduced costs: Innovations or competitive analyses are often based on physical tests. Numerical modelling balances the digital/physical ratio and saves on heavy investments
- Capitalisation: a digital model is an object of capitalisation for your company, easy to update and easy to transmit
- Knowledge transfer: the technical and methodological support that we provide enables your teams to quickly develop their skills and become autonomous on your projects

DIGITAL TWINS TO SUPPORT YOUR DEVELOPMENTS
More than just models of your complex systems, we develop digital twins of your physical systems based on experience and expertise gained over the years.
There is a wide range of applications: air conditioning systems, heat pumps, thermal comfort, battery thermal, powertrain, fuel cell systems.
We are also developing “benchmark” digital twins of existing electric vehicles,.
