Über dieses Buch

This book is designed as an interdisciplinary platform for specialists working in electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles powertrain design and development, and for scientists who want to get access to information related to electric and hybrid vehicle energy management, efficiency and control. The book presents the methodology of simulation that allows the specialist to evaluate electric and hybrid vehicle powertrain energy flow, efficiency, range and consumption. The mathematics behind each electric and hybrid vehicle component is explained and for each specific vehicle the powertrain is analyzed and output results presented through the use of specific automotive industrial software (AVL Cruise , IPG CarMaker, AVL Concerto). This methodology of electric and hybrid powertrain design serves to broaden understanding of how the energy flow, efficiency, range and consumption of these vehicles can be adjusted, updated and predicted via development processes.

Chapter 1. Principles of Modeling and Simulation Processes
Abstract
In this chapter the evolution of simulation is briefly presented among the basic structure and principle of modeling process (with all the necessary steps), and with respect to the simulation process, from development to testing and operating.

Chapter 2. Mathematics Behind the Models
Abstract
In this chapter, for each model component used to create a model in the next chapters (vehicle, engine, brakes, CVT, etc.), the properties and options are presented and detailed discussed: the user-defined variables, all influencing factors, the necessary inputs and outputs, and most importantly the equations that govern the calculations.

Chapter 3. Virtual Powertrain Design
Abstract
In this chapter “Virtual Powertrain Design,” the AVL CRUISE model creation is presented after underlining all the main components and interfaces from a model. The main work process flow is presented and defined along with the Data Bus connections, all the necessary tasks, to understand (and further to apply) how to define a cycle run and how to define the driver conditions.

Chapter 4. Classical Powertrain Configuration Model and Simulation
Abstract
In this chapter, the full creation and simulation of a classic IC Engine with CVT model and an automatic FWD model is presented (starting from the configuration of the basic model from the IC Engine to the final drive and wheels). It presents the necessary steps to run a simulation, to use data from result manager, to create energy flow graphics, and how to export all simulation results.

Chapter 5. Hybrid Powertrain Configuration Model and Simulation
Abstract
This chapter presents the modelling and simulation of a hybrid vehicle with CVT model in AVL CRUISE, starting from the configuration of the basic model: from IC Engine, E-Machine, and battery to the final drive and wheels. Detailed explications are given about how to run a simulation, to use result manager and how to export all simulation results, together with examples of graphs that can be obtained from such a simulation.

Chapter 6. Electric Powertrain Configuration Model and Simulation
Abstract
In the sixth chapter, “Electric powertrain configuration model and simulation” the modeling and simulation of an electric vehicle model in AVL CRUISE is presented, starting from the configuration of the basic model: from the E-Machine and battery to the final drive and wheels. Detailed explications are given about how to run a simulation, result manager, and how to export all simulation results. Examples of graphs that can be obtained from such a simulation is shown also.

Chapter 7. Creating Virtual Road Infrastructure
Abstract
In this chapter the use of AVL Road Importer (an AVL Concerto™ option) is emphasized, along with using options of main menus and options. A practical example of how to import GPS data and export the road to AVL InMotion or AVL CRUISE (in the required/different format) is presented. A preview of results in HTML Google Map is also available.

Chapter 8. Loop Powertrain Simulation
Abstract
This chapter unites all information from previous chapters’ simulations in IPG CarMaker simulation environment. Is starting with the virtual vehicle environment import, the main GUI, vehicle configuration, body configuration, suspensions, steering gear ratio, brakes, tires, and powertrain. A special attention is dedicated to the importance of how to configure the maneuvers, road and driver, and simulated environment. Also, how to create a CRUISE—CarMaker co-simulation is presented, with all interfaces, and possible results can be obtained for an electric model.
