Abstract

Battery electric (BEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) will play an important role in the transformation process towards sustainable mobility in the individual and transport sector. An increasing market share means that there is a great need for research to optimize vehicle efficiency and minimize the ageing effects of the drive components. Especially the temperature sensitivity of the powertrain components affects the efficiency and ageing effects of the electric drive components. These boundary conditions lead to an essential role of the thermal management with regard to the energy management of the vehicle. An optimal thermal conditioning of the powertrain components can be reached through a situation-based, bidirectional waste-heat transfer between powertrain components. For these thermal circuit architectures, a holistic methodical approach is required in all phases of the development process. This process is composed of integrated simulation and testing approaches to develop components, systems and operation strategies for efficient vehicles. For testing and developing thermal management systems, all components and the thermal boundary conditions have to be transferred to a HiL capable, thermal-hydraulic testbed, the Thermolab 2.0. This enables testing of components and systems in early development phases under real driving conditions. Hardware components that are not yet available have to be substituted on the ThermoLab 2.0, using an innovative approach. Therefore, an interconnection of Co-Simulation and a thermo-hydraulic substitute modules enables the transfer of boundary conditions on the ThermoLab 2.0. The Co-Simulation platform enables the testing of operation strategies in an early phase of the vehicle development. This study shows the newest results of the development of innovative thermal circuits for a prototype vehicle on the ThermoLab 2.0.
