Power system parameters matching of in-wheel motor drive electric vehicle

Based on the line-controlled chassis platform, the low-speed outer rotor motor is used to drive the wheel directly in the designed in-wheel motor line-controlled electric vehicle. The power system parameters of the designed four-wheel independent drive electric vehicle are matched and simulated by offline simulation. Firstly, based on the theoretical basis of the research on the parameter matching of the power system of pure electric vehicles, the type selection and parameter matching of the hub motor and power battery are carried out according to the established dynamic and economic indicators. Then, the designed component parameters are repeatedly corrected until the design goal is achieved; Finally, the vehicle model is built in AVL cruise, and the design results are simulated by software.

Control algorithms for a Range Extender vehicle with an combustion engine

The combination of two drive sources: the internal combustion engine and the electric motor in the hybrid drive system requires an appropriate control system to manage their operation. It relies on many variables, and the greater the degree of drive hybridization the greater is the degree of interdependence of the parameters involved. The article presents solutions of electric drive control algorithms with an additional power source in the form of an internal combustion engine (Range Extender). The results of simulation analyzes in the AVL Cruise program are presented, taking into account three control algorithms and two driving cycles. The obtained results indicate the necessity to take various input quantities into account in order to optimize the use of the combustion engine

Optimization and performance analysis of the power system in hybrid electric vehicles

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are the most industrialized and marketable in electric vehicles. Referring to the basic structure and parameters adopted by PRIUS Hybrid of Toyota, this paper puts forward an optimization scheme of HEV. The parameters and type selection of power components are obtained according to the vehicle's dynamic formula. The optimized hybrid power system is built and simulated through the simulation platform AVL Cruise. Then the obtained economic and dynamic parameters are analyzed and compared with the original performance parameters, verifying that the optimized system has better performance.

Vehicle Dynamic Simulation Possibilities Using AVL Cruise M

In most cases, when creating vehicle dynamics simulations, we need software that can speed up model creation and simulation. There are many programs on the market for this purpose, but they have different knowledge and user interfaces. We present in this article briefly introduces the use of one of the market's leading vehicle simulation software, the AVL Cruise M.

Forklift truck performance simulation and fuel consumption estimation

Purpose Forklift trucks are generally operated with frequent accelerations and stops, reverse and operations of load handling. This way of operation increases the energy losses and consequently the need for reduction of fuel consumption from forklift customers. This study aims to build a model to replicate the performance of forklifts during real operations and estimate fuel consumption without building a real prototype. Design/methodology/approach AVL Cruise has been used to simulate forklift powertrain and hydraulic circuit. The driving cycles used for this study were in accordance with the standard VDI 2198. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), trained by the results of AVL Cruise simulations, have been used to forecast the fuel consumption for a large set of possible driving cycles. Findings The comparison between simulated and experimental data verified that AVL Cruise model was able to simulate the performance of real forklifts, but the results were only valid for the specified driving cycle. The ANNs, trained by the results of AVL Cruise for a certain number of driving cycles, have been found effective to forecast the fuel consumption of a larger number of driving cycles following the prescriptions of the standard VDI 2198. Originality/value A new method based on ANN, trained by AVL Cruise simulation results, has been introduced to forecast the forklift fuel consumption, reducing the computational time and the cost of experimental tests.
