PITTSBURGH, Nov. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The TAG Heuer
Porsche Formula E Team is racing to the finish line of the
2019/2020 ABB FIA Formula E Championship through a new
collaboration with ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS). Porsche
Motorsport engineers are using ANSYS' industry-leading
system-level simulation solutions to create an advanced electric
powertrain that will substantially increase energy efficiency for
Porsche's first-ever fully electric race car — the Porsche 99X
Electric.
Accelerating at extreme speeds through demanding urban courses
within metropolitan city centers exerts massive stresses on the
powertrain of the Porsche 99X Electric. While regulations stipulate
a standardized chassis and battery, engineers can customize the
powertrain and its subsystems and components to deliver maximum
energy efficiency and vehicle performance from the starting line to
the finish line.
ANSYS system-level solutions deliver a critical competitive edge
for the Porsche 99X Electric, enabling Porsche engineers to create
the next-generation Porsche E-Performance Powertrain. This helps
provide the highest level of energy efficiency for its vital
subsystems and components — maximizing the efficiency of the motor
and power electronics to significantly reduce losses.
After proving itself on the track, Porsche will leverage the
electric powertrain of the Porsche 99X Electric to push engineering
boundaries and usher in a new era of commercial e-mobility
vehicles. The car's 800-volt technology is currently being used in
the series production of the fully electric Porsche Taycan.
"ANSYS system-level simulations are instrumental for optimizing
the Porsche E-Performance Powertrain's motor, gearbox, power
electronics and control software, allowing the Porsche 99X Electric
to sustain unprecedented speeds over long distances while
conserving as much energy as possible," said Fritz Enzinger, vice president, Porsche
Motorsport. "Delivering unparalleled energy management, the
powertrain is a decisive competitive factor that provides our
driver with numerous tactical options during the race, empowering
him to push the car to the edge of its envelope."
"Porsche Motorsport sets the standard for racing excellence and
we are honored to help revolutionize the electric powertrain of the
Porsche 99X Electric, break new e-mobility barriers and speed their
team to Formula E victory," said Shane
Emswiler, senior vice president and general manager, ANSYS.
"Delivering a critical competitive advantage, ANSYS system-level
simulations slash the Porsche 99X Electric's energy losses and
greatly increase its electrical efficiency — enabling the car to
provide maximum power during challenging races."
