Power Train Blockset:

Powertrain Blockset provides fully assembled reference application models of automotivepowertrains, including gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric systems. It includes a component library for simulating engine subsystems, transmission assemblies, traction motors, battery packs, and controller models. Powertrain Blockset also includes a dynamometer model for virtual testing. MDF file support provides a standards-based interface to calibration tools for data import.Powertrain Blockset provides a standard model architecture that can be reused throughout the development process. You can use it for design tradeoff analysis and component sizing, control parameter optimization, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. You can customize models by parameterizing components in a reference application with your own data or by replacing a subsystem with your own model.

Key features:

• Fully assembled models for gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains
• Libraries of engine, transmission, traction motor, and battery components
• Basic controllers for powertrain subsystems
• Standard drive cycle data, including FTP75, NEDC, and JC08
• Engine dynamometer model for virtual calibration and testing
• MDF file support for calibration data import

Objective 1:

What is the difference between mapped and dynamic model of engine, motor and generator? How can you change model type?

model components	Mapped model	Dynamic model
Engine	Mapped engine models are suitable for analysis and design activities that do not require engine subsystem dynamic characteristics, for example, in engine and transmission powertrain matching analysis for fuel economy, emissions, and performance tradeoffs.	Dynamic engine models are suitable for designing control, estimator, and diagnostic algorithms that depend on dynamic subsystem states, for example, in closed-loop AFR control algorithm development.
Motor	The Mapped Motor block implements a mapped motor and drive electronics operating in torque-control mode. The output torque tracks the torque reference demand and includes a motor-response and drive-response time constant. Use the block for fast system-level simulations when you do not know detailed motor parameters, for example, for motor power and torque tradeoff studies. The block assumes that the speed fluctuations due to mechanical load do not affect the motor torque tracking.	The dynamic motor model use real time or instantneous values of the motor power and torque values by the running behaviour of the motor speed.
Generator	The mapped generator blockset take lookup table power values from engine and saturate that values as for giving output to motors or charge the battery capacity.	The dynamic generator blockset take instantaneous power output values from the engine and gives to the transmission or it use that power to charge the battery.

Steps to change the model type:

1. Open the Explore the EV refrence application from getting started to powertrain blockset link, you will see EV model which contains environment block,controller block,passenger block,FTP75 block,etc.
2. Open the passenger block by double click,after opening you will see many different blocks such as electric plant block,drivetrain block,electric input block,etc.
3. Open the electric plant block then you will have different blocks again of motor and battery.
4. Open the motgenEVmapped block you will see there are two block available which are motgenEVmapped and motgenEVdynamic in which mapped model is bydefaul selected as variant.
5. For changing variant right click on screen slelect the varaiants option from the list of options available in that uh will get another options select to label mode active choice there uh can change from mapped model to dynamic model.

Steps:

1-Passenger car

2-Electric plant

3-MotGenEVmapped

4-Variant-label mode active choice-dynamic

Objective 2:

How does the model calculate miles per gallon? Which factors are considered to model fuel flow?

Calculation of miles per gallon:

Here the vehicle speed and battery power values are considered to calculate the miles per gallon value.

Basically miles pers gallon value is calculated to get the information regarding the economic fuel consumption and also the battery soc.

Here vehicle speed and battery power is the input to calculate the fuel consumed and the battery charging state

First the battery power and vehcile speed is conerted from w to Kw and from m to km respectively.Then the power is been divided with 33.7kwh to conever it from kw to kwh and then diveide with 3600 sec to convert from kwh to m^3 per gallon.atahen this m^3 gper gallon value is integrated to liters.Below block model shows the calculation of vehcile speed and battery power for calculating miles per gallon.

Factors considered to model fuel form:

Here vehicle speed and battery power are the main factors taken into consideration for model fuel form.

Objective 3:

Run the HEV ReferenceApplication with WOT drive cycle. Change the grade and wind velocity in the environment block. Comment on the results

Explanation of HEV refrence model:

• In this model there are several blocks such as contollers,environment,passenger car block,longitudinal driver block and FTP75 block.
• Controller block consist of Power Control Module(PCM) which is master controller of the vehicle, it contains Engine Control Module(ECM) and Hybrid Control Module(HCM) which will control motor and battery management system,it will control the power supply as combination of series and parallel or series alone or parallel alone.
• Environment block gives the physical environment conditions (wind velocity,grade value, temprature and pressure) which will be acting on the vehicle while in motion.
• Passenger car block consist of vrious sub blocks which are engine block, engine plant block, drivetrain block.Its whole like an actual transmission block.Engine blocks will be containing mapped and dynamic models as per the driving condition.Engine plant block contains sub blocks of battery, generator and motor blocks which will control the behaviour of battery,generator and motor respectively.
• Longitudinal driver block conatin all the drvier related parameters which he will be supplying throttle gear change,braking motion all are controlled in it.
• FTP75 block is predifined drive cycle block which gives the drive cycle as per the default values given to it.We can change this blocks wit our own input values of speed variations as per the road conditions.
• Analyze Power and Energy blocks used there is so that we can solve the whole parametsers in parameters and can get outpurt in a tabular form.We can get run summary,electric plant summary drivetrain summary,overall summary.

For WOT drive cycle:

Output: For WOT drive cycle

• Here in first velocity trace plot we can observe that velocity is increaisng slowly and it attains the linearity at 14 sec of time with 115mph.If we compare velocity trace and battery SOC we can observe that with increasing speed in 17 sec of time the battery SOC is been reduced to 14% and after increasing speed till it attained the linearity battery SOC decreased to 18% in 77 sec of time after when speed started to deaccelerate at 100 sec battery SOC increased with 6% in 19 sec of time.
• Battery current was utilized 31% in just 16 sec of time.
• Second plot is Engine,Motor and generator speed and 3 plot is RPM of engine,motor and generator.

For grade =5 ,wind =10

Objective 4:

Keeping all other parameters same, compare the simulated results of hybrid and pure electric powertrains.

EV refrence application:

• If we compare velocity trace plot of EV refrence to HEV refrence for attending maximum velocity EV vehicle takes more time as compared to HEV vehicle.
• EV vehicle consumes about 60% of battery SOC more than HEV vehicle.
• EV vehicle consumes 30-40% more current than HEV vehicle.
• Miles per gallon of EV is 26% and HEV it was 10%.
• Motor Torque is almost same in both the Refrences.
