Electric vehicle power train simulation in forward modelling approach to enable real-time simulation and HIL controller prototyping

摘要

This paper discusses the modelling and simulation of an EV power train in forward vehicle modelling approach in Simulink. The real-time simulation is an efficient mechanism in EV power train analysis and hardware-in-loop testing of Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This enables ECU software development, calibration and testing in closed loop without the actual vehicle. Due to the developments in processor platforms, real-time simulator system can now be realized using cost-effective systems. This will be a useful tool for Academics and Automotive research Institutes to develop control algorithms and configure controllers required by EV/HEV applications in a lab scale. The model based controller development scheme in Simulink is suitably utilized to formulate HiL real time simulation and controller prototyping.
