The HEV/EV Modeling Problem

HEV and EV modeling presents new problems

• Complex, multi-domain models

• Difficult to run in realtime for HiL applications

• Coupling between domains can cause unexpected responses

• Batteries and power electronics are very complex

• Costly prototypes must be built to reveal system-level problems


The Need for Fast and Accurate Models

Accurate system-level models require accurate battery and power electronics models

• Electro-chemical battery models are very complicated physical systems with complicated mathematical descriptions

• Interaction of battery with power electronics and vehicle dynamics reveals higher-order effects can be mitigated

• Access to system-level equations provides further insight

Approaches to Battery Modeling

Circuit-based models:

• represents battery behaviour as electrical circuit

• conceptually simple

• hides the battery physics

Chemistry-based models

• more accurate modeling of all battery characteristics

• many configuration parameters

• complicated model


Circuitry Battery Model


Pros: Simple and easy to

understand Accurate model and fast

to simulate

Cons: Does not include

temperature effects New model has to be

developed when battery parameters are changed

Battery capacity

Short and long time response, charge depletion and recovery

Open-circuit voltage

Relate SOC to component values based on experimental data

What is MapleSim?

MapleSim is a truly unique physical modeling tool:

• Built on a foundation of symbolic computation technology

• Handles all of the complex mathematics involved in the development of engineering models

• Multi-domain systems, plant modeling, control design

• Leverages the power of Maple to take advantage of extensive analytical tools

• Reduces model development time from months to days while producing high-fidelity, high-performance models

Summary

Complex physical modeling is becoming increasingly important – and increasingly complex – particularly in EV and HEV systems design, testing and integration

MapleSim is the ideal tool for rapid development of complex multi-domain physical models of EV and HEV systems for full-powertrain simulation and testing

Extensive range of battery and power-electronic models is available to give you the fidelity you need
