Within the scope of the research project, individual components of the powertrain will be measured in different sizes with the aid of a test bench. This is a necessary step in order to be able to simulate their behavior and interaction with the system.

Potential evaluation for material reduction by different cooling topologies in electric traction machines

MatReK

The focus of this project is the validation of a novel cooling strategy for electric traction machines, minimizing temperature-dependent losses by means of component-separate temperature control.

Driving Simulator for Autonomous Marine Navigation: Development and Evaluation of Perception Algorithms

DAMN

The goal of the project is to develop a driving simulator for maritime applications to test environment perception algorithms in a safe, simulated environment. In parallel, a tool chain for object recognition using camera data will be developed, which is specifically optimized for maritime applications. The developed tool chain will then be integrated into the driving simulator, tested and optimized under different, realistic conditions.

GINI pursues the goal of developing a smart, semi-autonomous, mobile charging robot with fast charging technology and an inductive charging interface. In addition to the function of charging electrified vehicles in urban areas, the charging of e-bike sharing stations as well as data acquisition, pre-processing and analysis in a networked environment will be enabled. Thus, a significant contribution can be made to the urgently needed expansion of cost-efficient, powerful and flexible charging infrastructure for electrified mobility solutions.

The strong increase of electric vehicles is a big challenge for the energy system in Europe, but at the same time a chance to use V1G/V2G/V2X-technologies. As vehicles are mainly parking, they can be used as energy storage in order to increase grid stability. The overall project objective is to optimize the entire charging chain - from energy provision to the end user - to create a clear benefit for all stakeholders.

In line with the European 2050 goals ESCALATE aims to demonstrate high-efficiency zHDV powertrains (up to 10% increase) for long-haul applications that will provide a range of 800 km without refueling/recharging and cover at least 500 km average daily operation (6+ months) in real conditions. ESCALATE will achieve this by following modularity and scalability approach starting from the β-level of hardware and software innovations and aiming to reach the γ-level in the first sprint and eventually the δ-level at the project end through its 2 sprint-V-cycle.
