Question 1:-
What is the difference between the mapped and dynamic models of engine, motor and generator? How can you change the model type?
a)What is the difference between the mapped and dynamic models of engine, motor and generator?
Answer:-
Mapped Model:-
- The mapped model is one type wherever the information features are pre_assigned in lookup tables.
- The engine or motor torque needed is sensed and the motor or engine block generates the needed torque producing just as needed easily without analysing the real-time motor or engine, parameters
- The output values are collected to the corresponding delivered input values of the engine motor and generator
- The accuracy of this type is not that high but the simulation will be done in much less time as it does not run by real-time parameters.
Dynamic Model:-
- The dynamic model on the other hand uses the combination of the outputs from various subsystems to generate the output.
- It runs by real-time simulation where the required input from the drive cycle is taken and for that Individual real-time simulation gets performed and summing all the results of the subsystem gives the output for the simulation.
- As per the drive cycle requirements the initial Bus voltage, the current is given along with the vehicle feedback so that it runs the actual simulation at that particular moment throughout the drive cycle.
- The accuracy of this model is very high as it considers the real outputs from all the subsystems to generate the output.
- The simulation will take a very long time to complete as it has so many individual simulations running by all the subsystems of the engine, motor/generator.
- The figure below shows the working phase of the dynamic model.
b)How can you change the model type?
Answer:-
following steps:-
step 1:- open the Explore the Hybrid Electric Vehicle Multimode Reference Application in that click the Simulink model name as autoblkHevStart of the as shown in given below figure
Step 2:- Then after opening above step 1 we have to HEV_Mm_Reference_Application Simulink block set now we have to select the Passenger Car block is given below figure. 
Step 3:- Then after opening the Passenger Car we have seen so many block sets but we have selected the electric plant block. 
Step 5:- Then after we have to select the Variant Manager after choosing one tab new windows open then we selected want we want to choose so we have to right-click on that then Set as Lable Mode Active Choice 
Question 2:-
- How does the model calculate miles per gallon? Which factors are considered to model fuel flow?
a)How does the model calculate miles per gallon?
Answer:-
Miles per gallon:-
- Miles per Gallon is a fuel economy rating determined by how far a car can travel on a gallon of petrol or Diesel for an Engine powered car.
- In the case of an electric vehicle, it recognises the energy which is equivalent to that of an engine-powered car to propel the car through a distance.
- The amount of Fuel Energy required to move an engine-powered car through a distance is determined and then it is compared to the equivalent amount of electric energy required to move the car through the same distance and is expressed as the miles per gallon.
- The powertrain block set has a model that calculates the miles per gallon for all kinds of vehicles.
Conversion from Cubic Meter to Gallon (m^3 to a gallon),
As we know 264.172 US Gallons is 1000L
The reference model taken here for consideration is HEV and as it operates on both the Battery and the Fuel Injection Engine.
The final output/Fuel Efficiency is calculated by keeping into consideration of the Battery Output. Fuel Output and the Vehicle Speed/Kilometres are Driven. Therefore the fuel efficiency is calculated and it is converted after the saturation thus the FE is calculated
b)Which factors are considered to model fuel flow?
Answer:-
Mainly three-factor is considered to model fule flow as shown in below figure
Conversion from Cubic Meter to Gallon (m^3 to a gallon),
As we know 264.172 US Gallons is 1000L
The reference model taken here for consideration is HEV and as it operates on both the Battery and the Fuel Injection Engine.
The final output/Fuel Efficiency is calculated by keeping into consideration of the Battery Output. Fuel Output and the Vehicle Speed/Kilometres are Driven. Therefore the fuel efficiency is calculated and it is converted after the saturation thus the FE is calculated
b)Which factors are considered to model fuel flow?
Answer:-
Mainly three-factor is considered to model fule flow as shown in below figure
1 Vehicle Speed
2 Fule Flow
3 Battery Power
1.Vehicle Speed And 2.Fuel Flow:
- The Vehicle speed is an important factor while considering the fuel consumption at that particular time. so to determine the fuel consumption throughout the drive cycle.
- To convert speed to Distance we can Integrate with time and we are doing the same of converting the velocity to get the distance covered by integrating
- Then the Fuel flow is expressed as the mass flow rate (i.e) the amount of fuel at each moment in Kg/Sec.
- Now integrating this will result in the mass of the fuel and by using this 1 we convert it to the volume and multiply by 1000 to get it In Litres.
- By comparing the two results we can get the amount of litre consumed to Run for 100km.
3.Battery Power:
- The amount of Energy from battery power required to propel the vehicle Equivalent to that of the Engine is calculated here.
- The battery power is given in watts and it is converted to Kw by dividing by 1000.
- Then we convert the power into energy by multiplying with the time into KWh.
- Then we convert the Energy from kWh to equivalent energy in US gallons of automotive gasoline by dividing by 33.7. since we get the energy in US Gallons equal in KWh we are trying to get the energy of equivalent LIS Gallons per second and we do this by dividing with 3600 and we convert the hour to seconds.
- Then multiplying with 0.00378541 we convert the US Gallons per sec to the volume of the fuel flow in (mA3/s) and then we multiply with 739 (California Phase Il Gasoline density) (l.e) mA3/s. kg/mA3 which gives the result as mass flow rate kg's.
- Then finally the Battery energy equivalent in kg/s is given as an input for the fuel flow parameter to find the equivalent US Gallons of energy and estimate the Miles per Gallon.

Question 3:-
Keeping all other parameters the same, compare the simulated results of hybrid and pure electric powertrains.
Answer:-
Pure Electric Vehicle:
- A battery electric vehicle or pure Electric vehicle is an EV that exclusively uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs with no secondary source of propulsion (eg. hydrogen fuel cell, internal combustion engine, etc.) of energy
- BEVS use electric motors and motor controllers instead of a conventional Internal combustion engine for propulsion. They derive all power from battery packs.
- So they don't produce any emission of waste gas and they are eco friendly
- They also have their own limitations such as range etc.
- Example of a Pure EV is Nissan Leaf.

Observation(Pure Electric VS Hybrid Vehicle With Same Load Conditions)
- The electric vehicle when contrasted and a mixture of electric vehicles with the equivalent ecological and Drive cycle conditions brings about less maximum velocity accomplishment. The electric vehicle delivers more upsides of Motor speed and engine force contrasted with the half breed vehicle's engine alone, however, crossover vehicle when it joins the force of both engine and its motor it is higher than the electric vehicle's force. This is capable to pull the Hybrid vehicle at a higher maximum velocity contrasted with the unadulterated electric
- As the unadulterated electric vehicle here utilizes a Lithium-particle battery contrasted with the Nickel-metal hydride battery the releasing limit and the pace of charging is higher in the unadulterated electric vehicle. As it can release at a quick rate the engine can deliver a high measure of force immediately contrasted with the mixture vehicle. Likewise, the condition of charge shows the battery productivity of the unadulterated electric to be higher than the mixture vehicle and this is additionally because of the battery type utilized in these vehicles/
- The effectiveness of the Electric vehicle is higher than the crossover vehicle which is apparent from the miles per gallon quantities of both of these vehicles.
- The electric vehicle produces zero outflows while the half breed one's produce squanders gas discharges. These are a portion of the perceptions from the examination of the above recreations utilizing Powertrain Blockset.
