Dynamic Model and Control Law for a Low Storage Requirement Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle

This paper describes mathematical modeling, analysis, simulation, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) results of a Low Storage Requirement Hybrid Electric Vehicle powertrain and control system. The hybrid powertrain is synthesized using a conventional spark-ignited internal combustion engine, an alternating current induction traction motor, a converterless automatic transmission, and a differential and halfshafts that drive front wheels. Component models are summarized and a complete powertrain model is presented. An operating strategy is also discussed together with HIL simulation results that demonstrate system performance.
