Emphasis on early-stage requirement verification via virtual plant model and actual controller algorithms are viewed as the next frontier of accelerating product creation. The frontloading of virtual integration, testing, and validation of critical performance metrics (e.g., range, power, and acceleration) necessitates fast and accurate plant models for system-level studies. As the design evolves from concepts to final validation, these models should be updated synchronously. This work explores advantages offered by virtualization of validation by applying simulation models developed through traditional design workflows. The use case considered for the work is the range prediction of the electric vehicle for a given state of the battery capacity. The plant model of the electric powertrain will be developed in a system simulation environment for monitoring battery capacity degradation and its multidisciplinary performance over the usage history. The system representations will be enhanced by incorporating high-fidelity plant models extracted from 3D Physics-based simulation.","PeriodicalId":162261,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131030947","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}

The service life of lithium-ion batteries is significantly impacted in a harsh environment. The battery thermal management system [BTMS] is implemented to limit the temperature in the given range. The air cooling system is highly preferred by most EVs due to its low cost, good reliability simple layout. This work includes numerical investigations on air-cooled li-ion battery cells arranged in a staggered way for effective thermal management. The main work includes the comparison between the arrangements of the air inlet and airflow over the cells in a module subjected to forced convection for a better cooling effect. The conjugate heat transfer simulation is carried out on both configurations to get the optimized battery pack design. The model is validated by simulating a single cell under 1C discharge conditions and transient thermal simulations. Analysis of results is based on flow parameters such as maximum temperature achieved, temperature, velocity & pressure gradients formed, and recirculation zones. Finally, some perspectives and outlooks on both the configurations based on the forced-air convection are put forward for future development.","PeriodicalId":162261,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115819359","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}

Series Hybrid Vehicles are range-extending vehicles where the engine is operated when the batteries are depleted giving an increased range to the user. To achieve such a transition, an Energy Management Strategy (EMS) for an Electric Hybrid Vehicle must have the objective of optimal utilization of Energy, reduced fuel consumption, fewer emissions. Rule based Strategies have the advantage of real time implementation but are limited in operating scenarios. This reduced scope can be expanded by using a Neuro-Fuzzy Network which is essentially a neural network combined with fuzzy logic. This paper details a Simulation of an EMS using Neuro-Fuzzy Rule Based Strategies on MATLAB-Simulink for a moderate-fidelity Series Hybrid electric two-wheeler model on MATLAB-Simulink. The objective of the EMS is to cover the distance traveled most efficiently. The results of the simulation show a significant improvement in energy consumption and fuel economy over the conventional ICE model. The Energy Consumption is also reduced by 133.5 Wh when compared with the Electric Model.","PeriodicalId":162261,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123277101","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}

Integration of EV charging station to DC MG is a reliable solution to cope up with the rapid increasing load demand of EVs. But, due to intermittent nature of solar PV and EV load the power management of such MGs is going to be stimulant. Developed countries like Norway are operating small hydro generator (SHG) -solar PV-battery storage system (BSS) based DC MGs to solve the power management issues of EV charging stations. But, the power flow oscillations with rapid solar PV dynamics during peak EV load demand cannot be compensated exhaustively due to slow operating time of SHG and C-rate restraint of BSS. Despite these constraints, a smart energy management strategy (SEMS) is proposed in this work to address power management objective. By predicting the EV load dynamics on iteration basis, the proposed SEMS is going to operate the SHG against its slow operating time and ensures the sustainable power flow control of EV charging station interfaced DC MG. Moreover, the configured DC MG model with SEMS is validated in OPAL-RT real time simulator.","PeriodicalId":162261,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123525309","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}

Due to uniform reaction rate assumption, accurate prediction of cell behaviour is difficult. Also, many detailed physics-based models have been developed to improve accuracy of estimation but due to the higher computational cost, real time estimation of the cell dynamics is still limited. By keeping the above limitations in mind, present work focuses on developing an accurate model with low or moderate computational cost. Our model considers the analytical form for the non-uniform reaction rates and the polynomial approximation for concentration profiles and then uses efficient computational methodology in Python to simultaneously solve the involved partial and ordinary differential equations. Due to non-uniform consideration of reaction kinetics and the computational methodology adopted, the model is called as Non-Uniform Modified Reduced Order Model. This reduced order model accurately predicts the test data of large format commercially available Li-ion batteries for various C-rates. Further the robustness of model is proven by reproducing the results published using full pseudo-2-dimensional model in commercially available Multiphysics software for C-rate as high as 5C.","PeriodicalId":162261,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"06 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127138998","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}
