AVL HV Powertrain TS™ AVL HV-System TS™
1 / 3 Driving tests 2 / 3 Standstill tests
Charging tests as well as most HV
safety and functionality tests are
performed on a vstationary vehicle.
To reflect this and to take advantage
of the additional connectivity of the
BEV, we have created a new kind of
testbed. The AVL HV-System TS™
testbed adds more simulation capabilities,
including advanced restbus
simulation, and does not contain the
conventional dynamometers. This
setup is optimized both in relation
to functionality for integration testing
and for the reduction of cost and
complexity.

Martin Walcher, Lead Engineer Simulation Integration explains: “We have
extensive experience in performing safety and integration testing as well
as high-power charging tests for BEV development. For our customers it
means that early integration testing possibilities are guaranteed without
the requirement of having the real full prototype available.”
Our new testbed enables optimized integration testing of electrified vehicles
and reduces cost, complexity and building requirements. The needed
investment is reduced to about 40 % of that for a HV Powertrain testbed.
An example of the value the HV-System testbed provides is a situation where
three development programs are running in parallel. Classically, we would
need three HV Powertrain testbeds. But in our experience only 1/3 of all
the needed tests require the full capability of this test system. It means that
2/3 of the tests can be fulfilled with two of our new HV-Systems. By combining
one HV Powertrain
testbed and two HV-System testbeds we reach
the same testing capacity and results for a significantly reduced investment.

For three development programs
running in parallel, investment
can be reduced by replacing two
of three HV Powertrain testbeds
with two HV-System testbeds.
