HiPE

The HiPE project is part of the EU Call “HORIZON-CL5-2021-D5-01-02. Nextgen vehicles: Nextgen EV components: Integration of advanced power electronics and associated controls (2ZERO)” and aims to develop a new family of highly energy efficient, cost-effective, modular, compact and integrated wide bandgap (WBG) power electronics solutions for the next generation of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The project’s outputs (OUT) will be: • OUT 1: A scalable and modular family of WBG-based traction inverters • OUT 2: A family of integrated WBG-based bidirectional on-board chargers (OBCs) and HV/LV DC/DC converters • OUT 3: Integrated, fault-tolerant and cost-effective GaN-based power electronics for high-voltage ancillaries and chassis actuators
