Hardware-in-loop Simulation of Energy Management System for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Bus

Abstract

A hardware-in-loop experiment that integrated controller area network (CAN) monitor and evaluation function for control system is the research content, and a rule-based energy management system of plug-in hybrid electric bus (PHEB) is developed. First, a rule-based energy management strategy is designed for PHEB, which realizes series or parallel mode is determined by a mode clutch. Then, a real energy management system of PHEB was developed based on automatic code generation technology, and the real-time kernel of PHEB model was downloaded into VTSystem platform for the real-time simulation system development, Finally, an driver and energy management system-in-loop experiment was carried out to verify the energy management strategy under the China Transit Bus Driving Cycle (CTBDC), and the CAN bus performance features were evaluated by CANoe software.
