Model-based design of a multi-functional HiL test bench for investigations on a Range Extended Vehicle

This paper focuses on the model-based design of a multi-functional HiL test bench for energetic investigations on electric vehicles with fuel cells as range extender. The test bench’s concept is modular so that only one test bench covers various test cases like parameter identification and validation of simulation models as well as the verification and optimization of complex, cross-linked functions under real-time conditions.
