The aim of i-HeCoBatt is to achieve a smart, cost bursting industrial battery heat exchanger to minimize the impact on full electric vehicle range in extreme conditions. The project will develop a solution to remove the currently used expensive and heavy gap filler to enhance the overall efficiency, as well as an advanced instrumentation system to feed the battery management system and a cloud-based monitoring system. The solution will be tested in a laboratory and on-board in EVs. Finally, it will be industrialised to enhance the cost reduction and to introduce the product in OEMs value chain in a maximum period of 2 years after the closure of the project. This LC-GV-01-2018 project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 824300.
HIFI-ELEMENTS develops, validates and publishes a recommendation for standardisation of model interfaces for common e-drive components, and implements compliant versions of existing models. The project has implemented a seamless workflow linking extended versions of existing tools, a model/data management tool and a co-simulation tool for MiL and HiL environments, augmented with effort-saving automated methods for model parameterisation and test case generation. Validation of standardised models and workflow is being done in four industry relevant use cases depicting common scenarios in e-drivetrain and EV development. The interface recommendations and workflow methods will be disseminated in order to gain widespread EV-industry adoption.
