Test benches: unique technology platforms

The research is supported by several test benches and state-of-the-art infrastructure, including:

A 160 kW motor test bench—the only one of its kind in France in the academic world, enabling the validation of controls and observers in real conditions.

The test bench can be drive by either motor 1 or motor 2 to carry out the tests. 

• Motor 1: Renault ZOE (1st generation), 63kW.
• Motor 2: Renault Megane, 160 kW 

New generation of EV propulsion with Five-Phase Hybrid-Excitation Machine

A multi-energy hydrogen platform, developed as part of the regional CPER program, to develop hydrogen-based energy management architecture.

A 3 kW test bench for simulating a series hybrid architecture in which the electric motor alone provides traction for the vehicle, while the combustion engine recharges the battery via a generator.

Bidirectional charging benches for testing Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) strategies in semi-real environments.
