Abstract

The dataset contains high bandwidth voltage and current measurements of the main inverter of an electric vehicle. They were acquired from a Mercedes-Benz E-Vito on a testing ground in many different Operation Points (OP) listed in the following table:

All data are digitized using a 4-channel oscilloscope with a manual trigger. The binary data are parsed and sorted into HDF5 files [4], which are listed in the table above. A python example for data processing is included in the repository. If a speed is given, it is taken manually from the speedometer of the car.
The size of the testing ground limited the maximum speed to 65 km/h. For static operation points, multiple measurements are taken for redundancy purposes. For some transient operation, repetitions were necessary if speed did not match the target value.
At the beginning (OP 000), the battery was fully charged (User State of Charge (SoC) 100%), the ambient temperature was about 10°C and the altitude was 50 m above sea level. The file names indicate the action of the operation point, e.g., zero power, full torque, full recuperation etc. The full torque measurements were taken at full throttle, and for the full recuperation measurements the brake pedal was pressed until the power indicator in the car showed maximum “CHARGE”.
The number of the OPs show the consecutive order of the measurements. The vehicle was not charged in between, leading to a decreasing State of Charge (SoC).
The file names also indicate the time resolution settings of the oscilloscope. The time resolution setting of the oscilloscope was set to maximum: 10 ms per division is related to sampling time of 8 ns or a sampling frequency of 125 MHz. The metadata is included in each dataset as attributes with name-value pairs. The python example included in the repository contains an info-section which displays all attributes/metadata of a dataset. With increasing measurement time, the sampling time also increases.

Instructions:

The dataset consists of 14 hdf5 files containing the measured data. In addition, there are two python examples on how to handle the data and plot same results, and one readme file.
The hdf5 dataset can be accessed with many different tools like matlab, octave or python. If you want to use the python example, you must place the python-file and the dataset in the same folder. A recent version of python (it was tested with Python 3.9.2) with the following packages is needed: h5py; matplotlib; numpy; random; os; sys and scipy.

Python demo:
There are two python example demos to read and plot the hdf5 datasets included:
The first one reads a single operation point and plots the data in the time and frequency domain. (import_hdf5_plot_single_demo.py)
The second one reads one dataset and calculates the short time Fourier transformation of all operations points in the dataset and plots a spectrogram. (import_hdf5_plot_dataset_demo.py)
The demo is made as an example on how to handle the data and can be used for further analysis.
The datasets can also be accessed via matlab/octave, but therefore I refer to the online support.
If you have any further question about the dataset, please contact the author.
