In this paper a control strategy cost function is presented which can minimize these negative effects without significantly affecting the achievable reduction in fuel consumption, and without requiring a detailed battery model or a motor thermal model. This concept is demonstrated on a retrofit HEV unit developed by Ashwoods Automotive, with a model validated using chassis dynamometer test data. Dynamic Programming (DP) is used to optimize the controller, and some limitations of DP which are not often recognized are discussed.","PeriodicalId":119598,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122509989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It plays an important role in the power distribution of multi-energy power systems and braking energy recovery. Using a 4-wheel drive (4WD) electric mini-car as an experimental platform, a road grade and vehicle mass estimation algorithm based on multi-data fusion technology is studied. Firstly, a Simulink model for GPS (Global Positioning System)/INS (Inertial Navigation System)/wheel-speed data fusion is established, taking advantage of the characteristics of a 4WD electric vehicle. An off-line simulation is conducted with data from a real vehicle test to verify the model. Then the verified algorithm is downloaded and successfully implemented in the Vehicle Control Unit based on MPC561 digital core by Simulink Automatic Code Generation technology. Finally, a hardware-inloop simulation based on CANoe and CANalyzer is conducted for the testing and evaluation of the VCU. The result shows that the real-time multi-data fusion algorithm produces a good estimation of the road grade and vehicle mass with an error of 5%, and the convergence and steady-state error meet the need of real vehicle applications.","PeriodicalId":119598,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124719946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Reduced flux-weakening region and less copper loss are shown in the simulation results. Even though the energy-saving ratio 80.9% is small, the saved energy is still significant since the subway is the high power electrical system.","PeriodicalId":119598,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"8 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133384772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when the circuit analysis of two-stage inverter is attempted simultaneously, mathematical procedure for deriving its dynamic equation is very complex and difficult. The main idea of modeling for two-stage inverter is that bi- directional DC-DC converter or single-phase full- bridge DC-AC inverter is replaced with an equivalent current source, and then the dynamic equations for the separated converter and inverter are derived by using state-space averaging technique. The procedures for building the small-signal model of two-stage inverter is described in detail. Based on the derived small-signal model, the individual controllers are designed in a frequency-domain analysis. The input current controller is used for bi-directional DC-DC converter, while the dc-link voltage controller and grid current controller are used for single-phase full-bridge DC-AC inverter.
