5、ctric Vehicle (E-Vehicle) Crash Test Lab Safety Guidelines RATIONALE There are special risks associated with the destructive testing of E-Vehicles, such as pure electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). This information report is intended

6、 to inform crash test personnel and facility managers of the risks, and some countermeasures to help mitigate the risks to lab personnel safety, the facility, and the equipment used in the testing. This report is not intended as a stand-alone procedure for E-Vehicle crash test safety, as the technol

7、ogy is still evolving and cannot be represented fully in this context. INTRODUCTION Current E-Vehicles in production and in various stages of development share many obvious characteristics with their internal combustion cousins. Crashworthiness is certainly one of these, requiring that regardless of

8、 the power source, all passenger vehicles must demonstrate compliance with manufacturer driven performance standards, government regulated crash test programs, and certain vehicle safety rating programs which provide information to potential buyers about the crash performance of the vehicle and othe

9、r features related to safety. The electric vehicle is certainly not a new concept, but it has shown significant growth in development, production, and sales over recent years. The current administration has promoted the increase of E-Vehicles on USA roadways as a means to promote further development

10、 of this technology, reduce greenhouse emissions, and decrease the nations dependence on foreign oil. Significant federal and corporate funding has been provided to help support Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery research, establish infrastructure, and incentivize vehicle purchases. Parallel to these effo

11、rts, there is work ongoing to understand special risks to the general population, emergency responders, and automobile repair centers associated with the Li-Ion battery systems in these vehicles following roadway collision events. This SAE Technical Report addresses the special risks associated with

12、 E-Vehicle collisions in the lab, which must be conducted not only on the final product as a means of certification or rating, but also throughout the development phase of the vehicle. The hazards associated with running crash tests on Internal Combustion Vehicles (ICVs) is well understood and manag

13、ed safely using established test protocol which requires testing to be conducted with surrogate, less flammable fuel in the vehicle. Some special risks are associated with pressurized tanks in natural gas, propane, and hydrogen vehicles, but these are outside the scope of this report. As stated in t

14、he Scope of this report, the unique risks associated with conducting crash tests on E-Vehicles can be divided into two main categories; 1) thermal activity inside the battery (resulting from electrical or mechanical abuse) may lead to energetic emission of harmful and/or flammable gases, thermal run

15、away, and potentially fire, and 2) the risk of electrocution. Specific measures to ensure protection to test personnel from all types of risk must be integrated into the entire test process from the point the vehicle arrives at the test facility up to the time it is hauled away. At this point in tim

16、e, relatively mature procedures exist to protect against electrocution, utilizing personal protective equipment (PPE) rated for high voltage safety, and careful electrical measurements to ensure safe conditions when handling the vehicle both pre and post-crash. These procedures are described in deta

17、il in this report. SAE INTERNATIONAL J3040 DEC2015 Page 2 of 14 Current USA regulations require vehicle crash tests, when conducted for the purpose of certification, be run with fully operational and fully charged battery systems. The level of risk assumed by the crash test lab is determined by the

18、degree to which a specific Li-Ion battery system is susceptible to failure during mechanical abuse (shock, puncture, crush), or electrical abuse (internal or external short circuit), experienced during each type of test. As battery system design/technology advances - the level of risk will likely al

19、so be affected. In summary, there is some level of risk that every facility will assume in conducting these tests, so each lab must establish its own safety procedures and determine its own risk tolerance. More data will help make decisions that can mitigate risks to personnel and reduce the chance

20、of additional loss in the event of a total system failure. 1. SCOPE The special risks associated with conducting crash tests on E-Vehicles can be divided into two main categories; 1) thermal activity inside the battery (resulting from electrical or mechanical abuse) may lead to energetic emission of

21、 harmful and/or flammable gases, thermal runaway, and potentially fire, and 2) the risk of electrocution. Procedures to ensure protection from all types of risk must be integrated into the entire crash test process. This informational report is intended to provide guidance in this endeavor using cur

22、rent best practices at the time of this publication. As both battery technology and battery management system technology is in a phase of expansion, the contents of this report must then be gaged against current technology of the time, and updated periodically to retain its applicability and usefuln

23、ess. The scope of this document is to provide an understanding of the risks and an overview of the techniques established to reduce the likelihood that an event would cause harm to laboratory personnel and/or property. A laboratory considering E-Vehicle crash testing should work closely with the E-V

24、ehicle manufacturer to identify and understand the risks associated with shipping and handling of their vehicle (pre and post-crash), storage of the vehicle (pre and post-crash), battery system diagnostics procedures, and operation of the vehicle. 2.

42、ifications should be discussed with the OEM or final battery assembler before any testing begins. This overview should include the following: x The areas specified per your safety protocol. Fire extinguishers, HV mats, forklift with insulated forks, safe meeting place should there be an event, etc.

43、x Battery State of Charge (SOC) and battery health diagnostic procedures should be verified before any work begins. Proper procedures (as provided by manufacturer) should be used if required to charge and discharge the HV battery. x The HV sub components are reviewed and identified. Primary focus sh

44、ould address areas that will be in direct contact with the impacted area. Secondary focus will include other HV systems not in direct area of impact. All HV lines should be located and noted in case of emergency removal of the vehicle. x The Manual Service Disconnect (MSD), if applicable, location i

45、s identified. It is recommended that any parts that impede access to the MSD be removed prior to testing. x First responder locations are identified and reviewed with the entire safety team. x Identify which parts of the system are energized at each position of the key/ignition switch. x Define expe

46、cted post-test conditions of HV system, as well as the procedure used to verify the HV battery is in a non-compromised state. x Other vehicle or HV system features or risks the laboratory personnel should be aware of when prepping the vehicle, conducting the test, or any posttest inspection or handl

47、ing of the vehicle or battery system. 4.4 Vehicle Preparation It is recommended that before any vehicle preparation work begins, the 12V battery and the MSD are disconnected. An HV monitoring system is installed on the outside of the vehicle for use in assessing/monitoring electrical isolation per F

48、MVSS 305. Care should be taken to ensure no fluids (coolant, brake, etc.) are removed during the preparation processes that are required for the HV system to operate correctly. Prior to test time the 12V battery and the MSD must be reconnected, and the HV battery system again verified to ensure the

49、battery SOC is correct for testing. 4.5 Pre-Crash Measurements When performing Pre-Crash measurements all applicable PPE should be in place and ready for use. Pre-Crash measurements should be taken after completion of the vehicle preparation process (after the MSD is reconnected), and immediately prior to the dynamic test. Precautions should be made to avoid unintended power transmission to the tires and acciden
