ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE POWER DISSIPATION MODE ENABLE STRATEGY

Abstract: a control system for an electrified powertrain of an electrified vehicle includes a set of sensors configured to monitor a set of operating parameters of the electrified vehicle, each operating parameter of the set of operating parameters being related to the enablement/disablement of a power dissipation mode of the electrified powertrain and a control system configured to receive, from the set of sensors, the set of operating parameters, determine whether to enable/disable the power dissipation mode of the electrified powertrain based on the set of operating parameters, and determine a target power dissipation for the electrified powertrain and, when the power dissipation mode is enabled, control a set of power dissipation systems to achieve the target power dissipation and thereby reduce a thermal load on a friction brake system of the electrified vehicle.
