Project 2

AIM:
The main aim of the project is to develop of a forward energy-based fuel consumption model of a P1 hybrid vehicle.

The main goal of this project is to understand the functionality of a P1 hybrid and be able to model it.

Honda Insight motor and battery are considered for this project. Data is taken from ADVISOR data base developed by NREL, USA. Data provided in the project files.

OBJECTIVE:

The task of this project is to quantify the improvement in fuel economy numbers for the hybrid vehicle (kmpl), compared to the conventional vehicle, on the urban cycle (UDDS) and highway cycle (HWFET). Also, to analyze and understand the vehicle operating points in terms of engine and motor speed, torque, transmission speeds, pedal positions, gear, distance traveled, battery voltage, current, SoC etc.

To do that, the following steps need to be followed:

1) Load the Project2 folder as the Current Folder in Matlab.
2) Run the “Project2_InitFile.m” Matlab script.
3) Copy the Conventional vehicle Simulink model created for Project 1 in this folder. Figure 1: P1 Hybrid ArchitectureHybrid Drives Development
4) Modify this model into a hybrid vehicle model. The lecture presentations can be used as reference. Battery and Supervisory controller models developed in the assignments can be reused.
5) Add additional ‘To Workspace’ blocks for transferring the desired Simulink vehicle data into the Matlab workspace.
6) Simulate the hybrid model on the desired drive cycles.
7) Write a project report that contains the following:
a. Tabulate the fuel economy numbers (kmpl) for UDDS and HWFET cycle. Compare these numbers with the baseline numbers for conventional vehicle model from Project 1.
b. Plot the time trace for engine, transmission input, transmission output and wheel speed on one plot.
c. Plot engine torque, engine power, fuel rate and fuel consumption using subplots.
d. Plot accelerator and brake pedal, gear command, vehicle desired and actual speed, vehicle distance using subplots.
e. Plot the engine operating points on the engine fuel map.
f. Plot motor speed, torque, motor input power using subplots.
g. Plot pack voltage, current and SoC using subplots.
h. Plot the motor operating points on the motor input power map, with the motor max motoring and generating torque curves.
i. Write down appropriate brief comments on each of these plots, describing the vehicle behavior throughout the drive cycle.
j. Generate the plots for both drive cycles

PROCEDURE:

Firstly we need to run the “Project2_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.

In this code we have selected the drive cycle 1 which means UDDS.After intialization file is runned sucessfully all the input data will be loaded into the matlab workspace. now we need to craete simulink model.

SIMULINK MODEL OF THE VEHICLE:

The above vehicle model shows driver,controller and power trains.The driver model blocks which generates accelaration and brake output to the controller.The controller receives and output of the driver and converts the signals into the desired torque,transmission and brake torque.These output signals are fed to the input signals to the power train.In power train we have electric motar,transmission etc.

DRIVER MODEL:

CONTROLLER BLOCK:

The contoller is the brain of the vehicle which controls all the electronic inputs which receive from the drive inputs.converts in to the desired torque and desired speed and transmission.
