Specification in Time and Frequency Domains of a Power Emulator for Testing the Generator of a Series Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulation is more and more used during the development of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). Power emulators are used to test different components of HEVs. However, there are several requirements that must be met for test accuracy and reliability. In this paper, time and frequency domain analyzes are combined to determine the appropriate characteristics of a power emulator for testing the electrical generator of a series HEV.
