Application of Virtual Test Bed in Design and Testing of Hybrid Electric Vehicles

This paper describes a virtual prototype of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) developed within the Virtual Test Bed (VTB) environment which is simulation software for modeling, simulation, and virtual prototyping of multi-disciplinary systems. The main models used in the HEV system, including power sources, converters, controllers and vehicle driving train, are described first, then the HEV system was constructed based on these models. Finally, the system is tested for optimization of power sharing among the energy components and the vehicle dynamic response for given driving cycles. A full motion animation of the HEV is also demonstrated.
