Abstract Details

2007, Master of Science, University of Akron, Electrical Engineering.
This thesis explains various stages of the vehicle controller development, especially for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), and documents the development of a platform for vehicle controller testing. Two stages of testing a vehicle controller, namely Software-in-Loop (SIL) simulation and Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) simulation, are explained in a stepwise manner for the series-parallel 2x2 HEV. The idea of using a common tool from the design stage to the prototyping stage is demonstrated. The series-parallel 2x2 HEV is modeled using the Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit (PSAT) in Matlab/Simulink. A rule based vehicle control strategy is added to the existing control libraries in PSAT. The SIL testing of the HEV model is done by exercising it over various drive cycles. A HIL platform is built from the ground up using commercially available off-the-shelf computers and Input/Output cards. The offline model of the HEV is simulated on the HIL platform to start the vehicle controller testing process. The preliminary HEV model was used to demonstrate the capabilities of the HIL setup. The HIL simulation setup is scalable and allows the incorporation of additional computational nodes for distributed simulation of complex systems without a major change to the original setup. The HEV model is run in real time on two computation nodes and the differences between offline and online simulations are discussed. The HIL simulation platform is successfully built and can be used for testing and tuning the vehicle controller.
