Title: Modelling and Simulation on Components of an Electric/Hybrid Vehicle
Rationale: The purpose of this assessment is to enable students to demonstrate a number of skills that have been developed within the Module, in particular:
(i) Good modelling capability of hybrid vehicles within the Matlab/Simulink environment
(ii) An appreciation of advanced propulsion and emission control strategies available to the automotive engineer (technology review)
(iii) How best to specify and implement the chosen designs in order to optimize performance benefits.
Description: The student is expected to produce an individual report. In this report will be developed a series of mathematical models related to hybrid vehicles.
These models should be inspired by the ones shown during the lectures/tutorials, and discussed with members of the academic team.
The report will show the evidence of working implementation of the models, using state-of-the-art software such as Simulink. A reflective analysis of the produced results will follow the presentation of each implementation.
This will be achieved by:
(a) A technology review: reviewing Hybrid/Electric vehicles, their control strategies and how they may be implemented in MatLab/SimuLink, to be included in a structured report (approximately 4000 words with a 20% tolerance) of the tasks specified below.
(b) Develop a set of models of the engines, ¼ or ½ model of cars and brake systems. These model should be control oriented.
(c) Demonstrate, using simulation (MatLab or SimuLink), how an advanced control strategy can be used to control performance on the brake system, with respect to the model developed.
The models have to be all the three following:
1. an electric engine or hybrid engine.
2. ¼ or ½ car model.
3. ABS system
For each model, the following is expected:
Models of the chosen systems: Models and parameters have to be unique and individually chosen. It can be chosen from any reasonable book, data-sheet or articles.
A working implementation of the models: Equations should be checked and explained, Implementation should be presented, results should be compared and validated against similar data/systems from the literature
For the ABS specifically, it is asked the student to: Identify a set of objectives to improve the performances of the ABS, Develop a control strategy to reach these objectives, To show a working implementation of the control strategy (means checking equations, implementation, and comparing results with data/literature), To review success against these points.
