The 2Zero HighScape project, which is focused on delivering high-efficiency, high-power density, cost-effective, scalable, and modular power electronics solutions for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), has released a new public deliverable: “Simulation models of the High-Scape vehicles, PE systems and components (D2.3).”
Read the full deliverable here.

This report presents the results of collaborative efforts by HighScape’s component providers and developers to create detailed simulation models of key systems, including traction motors and inverters, onboard chargers, DC-DC converters, drives for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, high-voltage levelling suspension systems, and thermal systems at both the component and vehicle levels. These models are central to enabling model-based design and optimisation across electrical, electronic, thermal, and control domains, and are applicable to a wide range of BEV configurations targeted in the project.
To evaluate the interactions and performance of these components at the vehicle level, the models have been assembled into a comprehensive simulation toolchain. This allows for rapid assessment of design decisions and their impact on overall system behavior, including thermal considerations. Due to the complexity and computational intensity of the full models, surrogate models—such as Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs)—have been generated and used within the simulation framework. The deliverable also provides an in-depth discussion on the role, benefits, and limitations of these surrogate modeling approaches.

With this milestone, HighScape continues to advance the state of the art in power electronics and simulation tools, reinforcing its contribution to the objectives of the 2Zero partnership.
