A Range Extender Hybrid Electric Vehicle dynamic model

This paper describes a dynamic model possessing the key system components of a Range Extender Hybrid Electric Vehicle. The model is suitable for dynamic analysis, control law synthesis, and prototype simulation. The paper contains abbreviated descriptions of a small internal combustion engine, variable field alternator, and a dynamic lead-acid battery model that comprise the primary elements of a highly nonlinear vehicle. The system model is then used for studying the dynamic interaction effects and formulation of a dynamic control system.<>
