9] Study of Conventional vehicle simulink model and creates graphs.

Conventional Vehicle:-

Conventional vehicles use an internal combustion engine fueled by gasoline or diesel to power the wheels. In this the

heat engine uses the principle of heat release through combustion of a fuel with an oxidizer in a combustion

chamber to create expanding gases which pushes against a piston creating force and torque output.

In this vehicle engine converts chemical energy stored in the fuel into heat which is used to produce useful work.

Typically use fossil fuels like petroleum (petrol and diesel).

The most popular type of engine is used in this system is 4 stroke reciprocating engine. Engine in cyclinder process

can be represented by ideal thermodynamic cycles such as Otto cycle, Diesel cycle. Otto cycle is a ideal cycle thet

describes the cycle process for spark ignited Sl engine. and the Diesel cycle is the ideal cycle thet describes the cycle

process for a compression ignited Cl engine.

Energy and performance of vehicle:-
In this system trge power demand on the wheel need to instant supplied by the powertrain. In other word the power
coming from the powertrain dictates the power demand on the wheels (as per performance viz, acceleration, speed
etc is determined by it.
In tis vehicle the powertrain is consists of an engine connected to the wheels through a transmission therefore the
power comes from the engine through the transmission.

Conventional powwertrain efficiency:-
The engine generates power by converting chemical energy stored into the mechanical energy by the process of
combustion. This process of energy conversion also has an efficiency and the energy input is in the form of fuel
consumption
- Instantaneous fuel consumption is given as
mf= Pe /ne*nt*QLHV
Where,
mf = mass flow rate in [kg]
pe = Power of engine
pt = power of transmission
nt = efficiency of transmission
ne = efficiency of engine
QLHV = it is th calorific value/ lower heating value of fuel.
In this system of IC engine if tge power at the wheels is zero the engine is idling and still consumes some fuel to
overcome the engine drag loss and keep it spinning this is the idling fuel consumption and know as idling process.
Above mentioned formula is applicable only when the wheel power is strictly power. When the wheel power is
negative either th engine is disengaged and idling or the engine is engaged and providing some engine braking
due to the engine drag losses.
The engine is consuming fuel when it is idling but even for engine braking the engine might be consuming some fuel.
The fuel consumption not only depend on the power requirement at the wheels but also is required to generate
power to run the various engine and vehicle accessory loads.

System Dynamics:-
It deals with the modeling of multi domain systems through the use of a unified approach based on a ordinary
differential and algebraic equation describing the static and dynamic effects.
Each systems has are two generalised variables-
1] Efforts:- It is generalised force variable. ex- torque, force, voltage, heating value.
2] Flow:- It is the generalised flow/velocity variable. ex:- velocity, current, mass flow rate.
3] Power:- It is the product of the effort and flow variable. It is interchangeable between energy domains.
Energy based models- Element models

To models the internal physical properties of the element and the losses there are basically two kinds of approach.
1 Map based models:= Elements are modeled using maps which characterized the relationship between the input
and output, output and losses etc.
2 Analytical models:- Elements are modeled using physical equation that represent the internal dynamics. These are the two extremes most models are a combination of the two with some dynamics models analytically and for some using maps.

In this model We use Forward Model:-
It also known as dynamic simulation. Dynamic models are used for detailed simulations. In this model
force/torque/ power is the input and the vehicle state variable velocity and acceleration are outputs. The models and
simulatios are more realistic due to physical casualty hence appropriate for control development. There is
feedback loop to meet the desired vehicle state. It is mainly used to simulate a vehicle on a driving cycle to analyse
the dynamic behaviour of the system helps significantly in control development.

Now,
lets see the simulink model of conventional vehicle,
In this project, a typical midsize car with a 1.9L engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission is considered. Data is
taken from ADVISOR data base developed by NREL, USA. Transmission shift map and controller is taken from
Matlab/Simulink example database
The model developed has the capability to simulate the vehicle on different drive cycles like UDDS, HWFET, FTP, NEDC,
etc.
"Project_InitFile.m" is a Matlab script used to load all the variables required for running the Simulink model and for
post-processing. The drive cycle selection is also done here. Before running the Simulink vehicle model, run this
initialization script.

It is modeled using a 'Driver' block, which is a basic PI controller that generates accelerator and brake pedal outputs
to match the desired and actual vehicle speeds. In this we use drive cycles fro the based on these results of fuel
consumption and emissions the vehicle gets certified and it also forms a basis of uniform asessment. It is based on
time, velocity then its all integrate and creates output accelration pedal and brake pedal.

Control Model:-
The 'Controller' block is the brains of the vehicle, representing the electronic controls units. It is based on the driver inputs, it generates desired engine torque, desired transmission gear and desired brake torque. These inputs are fed to the 'Powertrain' block which represents the drivetrain of the vehicle.

1 Engine control Unit:-

In this control model We use engine control unit in that give input Engine speed through creating look up table. in that
table we give input Maximum torque and map speed then also create 2nd look up trabble in that give input ct torque
and map speed then it substracts and multiplied. the engine speed also give to ideal contro speed to integrate from
this we meet output of engine required torque.
Graph created from Scope in Driver Model:

2 Transmission Control Unit:-

In this unit we create steadfy flow variable state for controlling of gears of vehicle as in ascending and descending order with respect to time, speed, distance. and give input to this steady state is vehicle speed in m/s to mph.

3 Brake Control Unit:-

In this calculate brake torque and then all three control signals output is give to powertrain.
3 PowerTrain:-

The powertrain encompasses every component that converts the engine's power into movement. This includes the engine, transmission, the driveshaft, differentials, axles; basically anything from the engine through to the rotating wheels.

1 Engine:

In this model we used map based model to model the fuel consumption of engine. It is based on maximum Torque and minimum torque from the controller, and then it saturated torque and give output then saturated torque and speed map give fuel consumption takes the speed and torque then the output goes into saturated then its integrated.

Graph created from Scope in Driver Model:= Engine Torque

2 Transmission:-

In these model we take engine torque, gear selector from controller for transmission of gear ratio. The ratio is multiply by transmission input torque and then the transmission efficiency positive torque and negative torque gives transmission input speed. In this case torque converter connects the engine to transmission it is part of transmission.
In it basically engine dynamics and that is decoupled.

Graph created from Scope in Driver Model:- 11 Transmission in speed 2] Gear ratio 3] Differential Ratio

Differential:-

In this taking input is the transmission output then its going to the differential ratio multiplied the output and input torque then meet axle torque. The axle torque is a lower than the transmission torque and differential ratio.

4 Wheels:

In this model we take the axle torque from differentail and brake torque from controller. it is substracts and multiplied rolling radius and velocity then we meet the tractive force from axle and brake torque. and the wheelspeed is meet using velocity.

5 Vehicle Dynamics:-

In this takes tractive force and road load. It is dictates vehicle speed based on tractive force and road load.
the dynamic equation for calculating road load is

Then we calculate and integrate then we meet acceleration of vehicle and velocity of vehicle it mean vehicle distance and vehicle speed.

Graph created from Scope in Driver Model:- 1] Road load 21 Acceleration 31 Tractive force

Graph created from Scope in Driver Model:- 1 Road load:-

Now,
We compute the Fuel economy numbers using UDDS and HWFET cycle:-
1] UDDS Drive cycle
1 Time VS Speed:- In this the speed is increasing continuously.

2 Aerodynamic drag:- Drag as increase when the power increase.

3] Rolling Resistance:- Its also increase when power is increase wrt time.

4 Total power = aerodynamic drag+rolling resistance +inertial resistance

Conclusion:-
Total Power is increase slowly as increasing rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag and inertial resistance.

2] HWFET Drive Cycle:-
1] Time VS Speed:- Speed is continuosly increase wrt time.

2] Aerodynamic Drag:- Drag as increase when the power increase.

3] Rolling Resistance:- In this resistance is decrease wrt time.

4 Total Power:- aerodynamic drag+rolling resistance+inertial resistance

Conclusion:-
Total Power is increase slowly as increasing aerodynamic drag and inertial resistance. but in this drive cycle bad impact occurs due to decreasing rolling resistance.
Result:-
As comparing both cycles we used to UDDS drive cycle. Its best for asses of fuel consumption and Pollutants emission of vehicle in a normalised way.
Now For creating Plots we use MATLAB coding So the coding will give down:-

3] Plotting fuel economy Vs Engine Fuel consumption:-

In this the engine fuel consumption is suddensly increase as incresing fuel economy but if fuel economy is constant then the fuel consumption is also constant.

4] Potting Accelerator pedal, Brake pedal and gear command with respect to time:-

In this the as comparing brake of vehicle the accelaration of vehicle is more so the brake torque is min required. and the gear shifting is also required wrt time.

5] Plotting gear command vehicle desired with actual speed:-
