Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a simulation apparatus capable of simulating the performance of a vehicle according to the battery to be mounted. A simulation apparatus (100) includes a battery performance acquisition unit (111) that acquires performance information of a battery that can be mounted on a vehicle, a vehicle information acquisition unit (112) that acquires vehicle information of the vehicle, and a simulation unit (113) that simulates vehicle performance of the vehicle and battery characteristics of the battery based on the performance information of the battery and the vehicle information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A simulation apparatus, comprising: a battery performance acquisition unit configured to acquire performance information of a battery that can be mounted on a vehicle; a vehicle information acquisition unit configured to acquire vehicle information of the vehicle; and a simulation unit configured to simulate vehicle performance of the vehicle and battery characteristics of the battery based on the performance information of the battery and the vehicle information, wherein the battery performance acquisition unit acquires the performance information of a plurality of the batteries having different types and different performance, the simulation unit simulates a vehicle performance of the vehicle when the plurality of the batteries having different types and different performance are combined, the performance information of the battery includes a battery output characteristic and a battery capacity characteristic, the battery output characteristic includes a high-output type having a large output power both during charging and discharging, and a low-output type battery having a smaller output power both during charging and discharging than that of the high-output, type, the battery capacity characteristic includes a low-capacity type having a low battery capacity and a high-capacity type having a high battery capacity, and a result of a simulation by the simulation unit indicates the battery characteristics when two low-capacity type and high-output type batteries are combined in parallel, when two high-capacity type and low-output type batteries are combined in parallel, and the low-capacity type and high-output type battery and the high-capacity type and low-output type battery are combined in parallel. 2. The simulation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle information comprises weight information of the vehicle. 3. The simulation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the performance information of the battery comprises battery weight. 4. The simulation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle performance of the vehicle comprises a braking characteristic, an acceleration characteristic, and driving range.
