We are thrilled to share that the HighScape General Assembly successfully took place in Ghent, Belgium from January 16th to 17th, 2025, marking the kickoff of our third project year.
A heartfelt thank you to all participants on site and online for the constructive discussions that advanced our project, and a special thanks to Hendrik Vansompel and the University of Ghent for their warm hospitality and support.
Looking forward to the exciting developments ahead!
And now, you can see it too!
We are proud to share the record of the latest E-VOLVE cluster webinar with you. It has been a great event, where seven projects presented their “Smart components for the Software-Defined Vehicle of the Future”. High Scape and it’s input “Power-electronics as innovation driver for smart components” were (re)presented by Dr. Sebastian Gramstat, AUDI.
Enjoy watching!
E-VOLVE-cluster, thanks for having us! We are already looking forward to following webinars!
As we have started the 3rd year of our project, we are dedicated to demonstrate the components developed in realistic environments. One of these is the AUDI vehicle demonstrator, an AUDI Q8, integrating the latest technologies available on the market.
This is an essential step towards evaluation and future exploitation of project results and we are looking forward to all activities in the coming year.
LeMesurier is building a framework to track 2ZERO’s impact on sustainable road transport research and innovation. It measures KPI achievement and partnership’s projects impact while recommending improved evaluation methods.
We are pleased to have contributed to the LeMesurier KPI assessment as part of the 2ZERO Partnership.
This is also a step for us to measure our project’s contribution to driving 🌱 cleaner, more sustainable transport solutions. We are looking forward to further discussions and final results!
Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are still the first choice for use in electric vehicles, due to their unparalleled efficiency and power density. However, they suffer from an inherently limited speed range. As field weakening or the addition of a mechanical gearbox deteriorates the efficiency of the drive, it is suggested in this paper to equip the drive with reconfiguration switches, giving rise to a so-called e-gear. The switches—which are implemented by means of mechanical relays—allow to change the winding connection of the electric machine from a series to a parallel connection and hence to double its efficient speed range.Simulations and experimental results on a 4-kW axial-flux PMSM confirm the feasibility of the concept and prove that the reconfiguration can be conducted in less than 35 ms.
