Power Distribution Analysis Sample Clauses

Power Distribution Analysis. The power distribution is a critical service in an all-electrical vehicle. An analysis of how each hardware component and each SW component, function or feature relies on the power distribution network is thus important. This analysis can be done through the error modelling and error propagation analysis described elsewhere. Analysis can also be conducted by considering the nominal architecture: each feature is realised by functions allocated to nodes in the HardwareDesignArchitecture. Nodes have HardwarePins that may be used for power. There is a PowerSupply component. Power distribution is typically organised as independent power networks. Using the elements above, it is possible to analyse and visualise: • which nodes, sensors and actuators depend on which PowerSupply. In case multiple power supplies are connected to a component, it is assumed that one is sufficient for operation (OR- logic); • which functions depend on which PowerSupply (based on allocation to nodes, sensors and actuators); • which features depend on which PowerSupply (based on realisation by functions) In case realising functions relies on different power supplies, it is assumed that all of these are required (AND logic). The distinction between OR and AND dependency on the power networks can thus be established and visualised.
