Abstract: Many H2020 projects are ongoing on the simulation of electrified vehicles. Four projects have been selected for the call LC-GV-02-20181 (Virtual product development and production of all types of electrified vehicles and components) These calls aim to propose significant advances in digitization leading to new opportunities for the automotive industry in terms of virtual product development and production, reducing the time-to-market of all
types of electrified vehicles at lower costs.

A previous workshop has been presented the 4 projects of the LC-GV-02-2018 and their ambitions. This second workshop aims to present the final developments of these H2020 projects:

  • PANDA (Powerfull Advanced N-Level Digital Architecture for models of electrified vehicles and their components)
  • XILforEVs (Connected and Shared X-in-the-loop Environment for EV Development)
  • VISION-xEV (Virtual Component and System Integration for Efficient EV Development)
  • UPSCALE (Upscaling Product development Simulation Capabilities exploiting Artificial inteLligence for Electrified vehicles)

  6. Round table on future trends (All) 15 min

PANDA

Name: Powerfull Advanced N-Level Digital Architecture for models of electrified vehicles and their components
Framework: Horizon 2020, GV-02-2018, GA # 824256
Coordinator: University of Lille, France                URL: https://project-panda.eu/

PANDA aims to reduce the development time of electrified vehicles through standardization of the model/simulation, thereby enabling: 1) an easy reuse of models for different tasks and; 2) a reduction of the real testing of subsystems by virtual seamless testing. The main goal of the PANDA project is to provide unified organisations of digital models for seamless integration in virtual and real testing of all types of electrified vehicles and their components.

XILforEV

Name: Connected and Shared X-in-the-loop Environment for EV Development Framework: Horizon 2020, GV-02-2018, GA # 824333

Coordinator: TU Ilmenau, Germany                          URL: https://xil.cloud/

XILforEV aims to develop a complex experimental environment for designing electric vehicles and their systems, which connects test platforms and setups from different domains and in different geographical locations. The project outcomes cover hardware and software components for x-in the-loop environments, machine learning tools to improve real-time model accuracy and performance as well as high-confidence, real- time capable models with automatic validation using experimental data. The XILforEV technology is demonstrated for four use cases dedicated to the design of brake blending, ride blending, integrated EV chassis control and fail-safe EV powertrain control.

VISION-xEV

Name: Virtual Component and System Integration for Efficient EV Development
Framework: Horizon 2020, GV-02-2018, GA # 824314
Coordinator: AVL, Austria                     URL: https://vision-xev.eu/

VISION-xEV aims to develop and demonstrate a generic virtual component and system integration framework for the efficient development of all kinds of future electrified powertrain systems. The main goal is to develop novel high-fidelity reduced order models, related parameterization methodologies as well as interfacing and co- simulation methods to enable seamless coupling of models regardless of the underlying modelling platform. The VISION-xEV approach will be demonstrated for selected industrial use-cases related to the virtual development of future electrified powertrain systems.
