Abstract Details

2016, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
The EcoCAR 3 project is a four-year competition sponsored by General Motors and the U.S. Department of Energy challenging 16 university teams to re-engineer a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro to be a performance hybrid electric vehicle. The Ohio State University designed a parallel hybrid electric vehicle with a 0 to 60 mph acceleration goal of 5.6 seconds and a 44 mile all electric range. Before the performance and emissions goals can be met the team must fully mechanically and electrically integrate their hybrid vehicle architecture. Concurrently to the vehicle integration, the controls team developed the basic vehicle controls that would be required to meet the goals for the second year of the competition. The controls development started with fully defining the vehicle controls requirements and then evaluating which requirements would be met in each part of the development process. The controls validation occurred using a team-developed vehicle model in both the Software- and Hardware-in-the-Loop environments. The main focus for this part of the development was defining and implementing the basic controls, such as controller communication and vehicle startup, which are critical to eventually having a fully functional vehicle. With the Year 2 controls validated in the HIL environment, a vehicle implementation plan was developed to be implemented and validated by May of 2016. The full controls development plan that was developed to meet the high level team goals included both performance and efficiency modes that will be implemented and validated in Year 3 and 4 of the EcoCAR 3 project.
