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 model

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

  • Test scenario (Driving cycle)
  • ECU
  • Plant model (Parallel Hybrid vehicle powertrain component)
  • Driver (Vehicle driver model)

Test Scenario

  • Insert the Test_scenario component to (ADVANCE) workspace, this component can be found under the Test Scenario in SIMarchitect library.

ECU

To create the ECU subsystem:

  • First insert an empty_area component to (ADVANCE) workspace, this component can be found under the modeling tools below TNO ADVANCE general library
  • Second, rename this empty_area componenent into ECU.
  • Third, delete the in and out ports inside the ECU subsystem as it is shown in the figure below.


empty_area


  • Fourth, insert the ECU module from the XXX library to the ECU subsytem and notice that the from tag is automatically connected to the bus connector of the output port of this empty_area. Notice that there is an extra port next to the from tag, double click the sub_connector and change the number of inputs into 1 to delete this extra port.
ECU area

Plant model

The components of parallel hybrid vehicle powertrain are:

  • Internal Combustion Engine
  • Clutch
  • Mechanical connection
  • Transmission
  • Final gear
  • Chassis
  • Battery
  • Electric machine
  • Electrical auxiliary system

To create the Plant_model subsystem:

  • First insert an empty_area component to (ADVANCE) workspace, this component can be found under the modeling tools below TNO ADVANCE general library
  • Second, rename this empty_area componenent into Plant_model.
  • Third, delete the in and out ports inside the Plant_model subsystem as it is shown in the empty_area figure above.
  • Fourth, insert the components described above to the Plant_model subsystem and order them as it is shown in the figure below.
  • Fifth, add an extra port in the sub_connector, this can be done by double clicking the sub_connector and change the number of input to 10.
  • Sixth, locate the from tag of Electric machine module and Electrical auxiliary system and copy-paste it in the workspace.
  • Seventh, insert two (2) Bus Selector(s) and connect it to each tag.
  • Eighth, double click the first bus selector and select Electric_machine_electrical_fb__output.phys_current_A under the Electric_machine_sensor
  • Ninth, double click the second bus selector and select Electrical_aux_electrical_fb_output.phys_current_A under the Electrical_aux_sensor from the Electrical auxiliary system tag.
  • Tenth, insert sum component to add the selected signals.
  • Finally, connect the sum component to the sub_connector and rename the signal as battery_current_input.

Driver

To create driver subsystem:

  • First insert an empty_area component to (ADVANCE) workspace, this component can be found under the modeling tools below TNO ADVANCE general library
  • Second, rename this empty_area componenent into Driver.
  • Third, delete the in and out ports inside the Driver subsystem as it is shown in the empty_area figure above.
  • Fourth, insert the vehicle driver manual from the library to the Driver subsystem.
Driver area.

The input signals for the driver module are:

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 the simulation
  • Fourth, plot the results using Results Plot GUI block

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