Simulation and Analysis of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle with a Double Rotor Motor

Abstract

This paper focuses on a simulation and analysis of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with a double rotor motor (DRM) based on the ADVIOSR software. The DRM is a novel series-parallel HEV powertrain concept which realizes the power split function in an electromagnetic way rather than in a mechanical way with a planetary gear. In this paper, a simulation model of a HEV with a DRM is established through performing the redevelopment in ADVISOR. A dynamic simulation was performed to take into account different driving cycles. The model and simulation method are verified reasonable and feasible based on the simulation results (fuel economy, power performance). Compared with the simulation results of PRIUS model and parallel HEV model, the distinct advantage of the proposed HEV belonging to the DRM can be obviously found out.
