Analysis and simulation of hybrid electric vehicles for sedan vehicle

Abstract

This paper presents a modeling and simulation of two different vehicles topologies (parallel hybrid electric vehicle and series hybrid electric vehicle) using the ADVISOR (ADvanced Vehicle SimulatOR). An accurate analysis of the performance of a hybrid electric vehicle, as well as of its consumption and pollution level, requires a dynamic analysis of its behavior. Two kinds of simulation tools for electric and hybrid electric vehicles exist: steady state and dynamic tools. An accurate analysis of the vehicle performance requires a dynamic model that includes many components such as its electric motor, its batteries and its motor controller. The central controller of this sedan consists of I/O Board, Adapter and Microcontroller of motor drive. In a first step, the vehicle components are sized, using a power flow analysis, to meet the requirements of energy and power of a typical 'Sedan vehicle'. In a second step, simulation results are presented and discussed to analysis complexity and performance. © 2017 IEEE.
