Techniques for controlling a power dissipation mode of an electrified vehicle

A control method for an electrified powertrain of an electrified vehicle, the control method comprising:

• determining, by a control system of the electrified vehicle, whether to enable/disable a power dissipation mode for the electrified powertrain;
• and
• when the power dissipation mode is enabled:
• determining, by the control system, a torque request for the electrified powertrain based on a driver torque request and a set of negative torque requestors;
• determining, by the control system, a target power dissipation based on the determined torque request, a regenerative torque capability of a regenerative braking system of the electrified powertrain, and a set of operating parameters of the electrified vehicle;
• determining, by the control system, an allocation or distribution of the target power dissipation between a set of power dissipation systems of the electrified vehicle, wherein each power dissipation system of the set of power dissipation systems is configured to operate and thereby dissipate electrical energy generated and/or stored by the electrified powertrain;
• and
• controlling, by the control system, the 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.
