聚焦于具有分布式多轮驱动的Bev架构，特别是轮式动力总成，HighScape将探索一系列高效电力电子元件和系统的可行性，包括集成牵引逆变器、车载充电器、DC/DC转换器，以及用于辅助和执行器的电气驱动。建议的解决方案将在测试台和两个不同尺寸的Bev原型上进行评估。该项目将导致：i)部件集成，将WBG牵引逆变器纳入轮式机器，以实现电动总成在弹簧质量上的零足迹；牵引逆变器与车载充电器的功能集成，并将后者和DC/DC转换器纳入电池组；以及为辅助设备和底盘执行器实施多电机和容错逆变器解决方案；ii)新的解决方案，包括实施驱动器的可重新配置的绕组拓扑结构，以及车辆一级的集成和预测性热管理，采用电力电子元件中的相变材料；Iii)实现并展示了所产生的电力电子系统和相关驱动器的功率密度、比功率和能效水平显著提高；iv)由于部件、子系统模块化和基于模型的设计的双重使用，大幅降低了成本，以消除过度设计；v)通过设计和智能预测健康监测算法，提高了电力电子系统的可靠性和可靠性。通过HighScape，参与者将在关键数字技术方面建立新的知识和行业领先地位，因此，将直接为欧洲的关键战略方向做出贡献，并积极支持向零尾气排放道路机动性(2Zero)的转变。

Focused on BEV architectures with distributed multiple wheel drives, and, specifically, in-wheel powertrains, HighScape will explore the feasibility of a family of highly efficient power electronics components and systems, and including integrated traction inverters, on board chargers, DC/DC converters, and electric drives for auxiliaries and actuators. The proposed solutions will be assessed on test rigs and on two differently sized BEV prototypes. The project will result in: i) component integration with the incorporation of the WBG traction inverters within the in-wheel machines to achieve zero footprint of the electric powertrain on the sprung mass; the functional integration of the traction inverter with the on-board charger, and the incorporation of the latter and the DC/DC converters within the battery pack; and the implementation of multi-motor and fault-tolerant inverter solutions for the auxiliaries and chassis actuators; ii) novel solutions, including the implementation of reconfigurable winding topologies of the drive, as well as integrated and predictive thermal management at the vehicle level, with the adoption of phase changing materials within the power electronics components; iii) the achievement and demonstration of significantly higher levels of power density, specific power and energy efficiency for the resulting power electronics systems and related drives; iv) major cost reductions thanks to the dual use of parts, subsystem modularity, and model based design to eliminate overengineering; and v) increased dependability and reliability of the power electronics systems, enabled by design and intelligent predictive health monitoring algorithms. Through HighScape, the participants will establish new knowledge and industrial leadership in key digital technologies, and, therefore, directly contribute to Europe’s Key Strategic Orientations as well as actively support the transformation towards zero tailpipe emission road mobility (2Zero).
