Project HIFI-ELEMENTS: Steering Committee Meeting

The Steering Committee met at dSPACE in Paderborn, Germany.

HIFI-ELEMENTS is a three-year research and innovation action involving 16 European partners. The project kickoff took place in Aachen, Germany at FEV Europe GmbH. HIFI-ELEMENTS will develop, validate and publish a recommendation for standardisation of model interfaces for common e-drive components, and will implement compliant versions of existing models. Secondly, the project will implement 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 will be done in four industrially relevant use cases depicting common scenarios in e-drivetrain and EV development. On project conclusion, the interface recommendations and workflow methods will be disseminated in order to gain widespread EV-industry adoption.

The consortium partners make intensive use of virtual testing and will directly use the project results while tool vendor partners will utilise the results by bringing extended software tools to market.
