Low-temperature operation of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell system requires humidification of the membrane. The amount of water produced electrochemically within the fuel cell system is directly related to the system power output. In a vehicular application where the power output may vary substantially over time, it is critical that water management be addressed in the fuel cell and vehicle system design. This paper introduces the integration of a detailed fuel cell system model within a hybrid electric vehicle system model. The newly integrated models provide the capability to better understand the impacts of a variety of fuel cell and vehicle design parameters on overall system performance. Ultimately, coupling these models leads to system optimization and increased vehicle efficiency. This paper presents the initial results of a parametric study to quantify the impacts of condenser size and cathode inlet relative humidity on system water balance under realistic drive cycles in a fuel cell hybrid electric sport utility vehicle. The vehicle simulations included operation under both hot and ambient start conditions. The study results demonstrate that ambient start or aggressive drive cycles require larger condensers or water reservoirs to maintain a neutral water balance than either hot start or less aggressive drive cycles.

An integrated system consisting of two towed sub-sea vehicles and a free-floating probe is being developed to perform mapping and quantitative estimations for fish and plankton. A thorough understanding of the dynamic behaviour of the towed vehicle system is essential for a successful design, and a dynamic model that can accurately describe the vehicle behaviour under the influence of a wide variation of conditions, is necessary. This paper discusses two different approaches for the dynamic analysis of a towed vehicle system. Analyses are performed using the commercial available simulation program MOSES. Further the 2D equations of motion for the towed vehicle are developed and solved in Matlab using a simple cable model.

The sheer complexity of engineering propulsion systems for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) demands the use of model-based development processes supported by comprehensive, robust vehicle system models. A Vehicle System Modeling (VSM) process has been developed to provide high-quality, application-appropriate vehicle system models in time to support critical HEV engineering activities. The process seeks to manage the complexity of the large number of model variants that are required to support a vehicle program. Additionally, it drives model development and aligns modeling activities with program timing. This paper describes the key elements of the VSM process and presents an application example. The application example illustrates the process by which a highly detailed HEV system model is created from an initial, base conventional vehicle system model via integration of high fidelity component models into a re-usable vehicle system modeling framework. The component models come from a variety of modeling tools and environments, which introduces additional complexity that must be managed. Results generated from the model show the complex system interactions that must be addressed by the vehicle control strategy. This re-enforces the notion that such modeling is required to achieve robust system designs.

A structural-acoustic finite-element model of a sedan-type automotive vehicle is developed and experimentally evaluated for predicting vehicle interior noise and structural vibration. The vehicle system model is developed from finite-element models of the major structural subsystems, which include the trimmed body, front suspension, rear suspension, powertrain and exhaust system. An acoustic finite-element model of the passenger compartment cavity is coupled with the vehicle system model to predict the interior noise response. The predicted interior noise and structural vibration by the vehicle system model are compared with the measured responses for shaker excitation at the axle to 200 Hz. The comparisons demonstrate the accuracy of the structural-acoustic vehicle system model, and they indicate where modeling improvements are required.

Abstract The load isolation electric vehicle improves the range of electric vehicle, which separates the concept of power and energy, so that the engine can always work in the most economical operating area. Based on Simulink, a single battery load isolation electric vehicle model is established for a mini car. According to the requirements of vehicle performance indexes, the parameters of vehicle system model, gasoline generator set, battery pack and motor model were matched. In the process of accelerating the average speed to the set maximum speed, the battery voltage curve and the motor output power are analyzed. The analysis shows that the battery has no overvoltage danger and the motor does not exceed the peak power, thus verifying the feasibility and superiority of the model.
