Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation of Electric Vehicle Powertrain System

This paper presents a design procedure of Hardware- In-the-Loop (HIL) for Electric Vehicle powertrain system modeling and simulation. First, simulation is performed in MATLAB/Simulink platform. Then, an Electric Vehicle Powertrain Hardware-In-the-Loop system including BMS (Battery Manage System), MCU (Motor Control Unit) and VMS (vehicle management system) is built based on the dSPACE with MATLAB/Simulink, along with the RTW toolbox (real time workshop). Through this system, the Electric Vehicle Control strategy is simulated and validated, and the results of offline simulation & real time simulation with laboratory prototype are presented.
