Validation of quasi-static series hybrid electric vehicle simulation model

This paper presents validation measurements of a series hybrid electric vehicle (SHEV) drive line with an ultracapacitor energy buffer. The backward functional quasi-static power transfer plant models in SHEV are discussed and compared against validation measurements. The full power measurement equipment and equipment under tests (EUT) are presented. A traditional road cycle is used to imitate duty vehicles loading in the plant models validation tests. Finally, an energy management algorithm and its behavior are presented, and results are concluded.
