A virtual prototype for a hybrid electric vehicle

A virtual prototype of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is created within the virtual test bed (VTB) environment, which has been developed for modeling, simulation, analysis and virtual prototyping of large-scale multi-technical dynamic systems. Attention is focused on the electric system, which is composed of (i) a fuel cell system as a prime power source, (ii) battery and super capacitor banks as energy storage devices for high and intense power demands, (iii) DC-to-DC power converters to control the flow of power, (iv) a three-phase inverter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motor as a drive, and (v) a common DC bus. The simulation of the proposed system is conducted using two types of driving cycles. These are: (i) rapid acceleration and deceleration, and (ii) Federal Urban Driving Schedule (FUDS). The parameter values chosen for the components and the numerical results obtained by simulation are consistent with the practical HEV applications.
