In today's world, computer simulations have become a crucial part of the process of designing
various automotive components, including high-voltage conductors. Compared to experimental
work, simulations are cheaper, faster, safer, and require fewer human resources, which is why
they are increasingly used in the industry.
The thesis deals with the development of models for generic high-voltage circuit components,
the simulations, and the optimization of parameters for high-voltage conductors that connect the
circuit elements. Generic models of components used in circuits, simulations performed, and
optimization to optimize parameters such as cross-section, power loss, and voltage drop on the
conductors connecting the simulated circuits are presented.
Simulations were carried out at different voltages (400, 600, and 800 volts, which are commonly
present in today's personal vehicles). I performed simulations and optimization for five different
conductors that individually connect different loads to the high-voltage network. For each
individual conductor, I prepared a dataset on which I then performed six different optimizations
of the three formerly mentioned parameters using the CAMEO software.
A system for rapid prototyping has been successfully developed, which can be used for a wide
range of high-voltage networks in vehicles. The system enables quick and easy simulations in
the early stages of designing high-voltage conductors.
