This page provides the steps on how to model a parallel hybrid vehicle, it has been documented in such a way that first time user can recreate the simulation from the beginning.
The reference result of this particular vehicle has been uploaded so that the user can compare their own simulation.

To learn more about how to create a simple model, go to ADVANCE Tutorial

Creating the simulation

All the component modules which are going to be used in this example can be downloaded from ADVANCE Library.
The model is split into four different group modules. Those are:

  • Test scenarios (Driving cycle and Environment condition)
  • ECU
  • Plant model (Parallel Hybrid vehicle powertrain component)
  • Driver (Vehicle driver model)


First, insert three empty_area components from TNO ADVANCE general library to make ECU, Plant model and Driver group modules and rename them accordingly.

Parallel Hybrid Vehicle ADVANCE layout

Delete the in and out ports as it is shown in the red box, since those ports will not be used.

Test scenario area

The selection of input for each module has to be inserted according to the order otherwise the simulation result will be inaccurate.
Do not forget to select the location of the parameter files inside Parameter Setting'.

Test Scenario

Insert the test scenario module from the library to ADVANCE. Use the parameter_main m.file to load the desired driving cycle and adjust the environment condition.
The driving cycle for this example uses WHVC (World Harmonized Vehicle Cycle) as the drive cycle input.

ECU

Insert the ECU module to the first empty_area and notice that the from block is automatically connected to the bus connector of the output port of this empty_area.

ECU area


The input signals to the ECU modules are:

Driver

Insert the chosen vehicle driver to the third empty_area, vehicle driver manual is going to be used for this example.

Simulation Settings

There are several settings which has to be changed on simulink, those are:

Settings Value
Time 1800 [s]
Fixed - step size 0.01
Solver type ode3 (Bogacki - shampine)

The sequence of running the simulation:

  • First, run parameter_main m.file
  • Second, choose the desired output results in the Output Selector block
  • Third, run ADVANCE in Simulink
  • Fourth, plot the results using Results Plot GUI block

The output from each individual module can be plotted using the Results Plot GUI.
