Electric cars Automotive Industry German and research institutions to work on system components for high power electrical drives.
Joint press release by the partners of German HV-modal research project.
The HV-Modal research project aims to make the drive train of electric vehicles more powerful than current over the next three years, HV-Modal wants to create a train toolbox modular electric drive system, suitable for a wide range of electric cars from different manufacturers Thus, the ten partners of the entire value chain of the automotive industry and science intend to further develop the global market position in the automotive industry German in the field of pure electric hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in and small carriers the bandwidth of power must be between 50 kilowatts kW and 250 kW with the range of vehicles larger today, 125 kW a range of 150 kilometers are HV-Modal is a typical German acronym which translates topologies modular powertrain vehicles él high power ectriques.
During the first stage of the project, the HV-ModAL research partners intend to come to an understanding of electric drive platforms that is shared throughout the automotive value chain Then they will perform design and component-depth research to determine the individual components that can be better coordinated with each other to the electric drive platforms.
Among other things, the research will focus on IGBT power modules for high power motors up to 250 kW, and high voltages up to 900 V, multi-level modular DC DC converters, battery with DC converters DC integrated and system components for over 600 V battery to describe and define those components, then give the best to each other, the partners are building a common system simulation model, flexible for different platforms vehicles to verify the theoretical results, components and optimized architecture will be built as demonstration models, and tested the results will be the basis for the design of the HV-modal system, and ultimately the modular toolkit the widest range of electric drives.
During the project period, about 7 euros 5 million will be invested about 50 percent of this amount will be financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF The project will run until December 31, 2017 Infineon technologies project manager.
A total of ten partner institutions in the automotive industry and research collaborate They include carmakers BMW AG and Daimler AG, the automotive system supplier Robert Bosch GmbH, the developer AVL drive system with its subsidiaries in Stuttgart Regensburg, the Fraunhofer Institute for integrated IISB devices and systems technology in Erlangen, the Leibniz Universität Hannover, Universität der Bundeswehr München and RWTH Aachen University, and the semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies AG.
