Item Digital twin based simulation platform for heavy duty hybrid electric vehicles(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Otaola, Eneko; Arteta, Beñat; Pérez, Joshué; Sierra-Gonzalez, Andres; Prieto, Pablo; POWERTRAIN; CCAMThe reduction of Greenhouse Gases is of great interest inside the industry and, especially, the road transport sector. Heavy-duty vehicles have been extensively researched due to their significant contribution. This work presents a digital twin (LONGRUN simulation platform) to analyse different heavy-duty vehicle aerodynamic designs and powertrain topologies. Based on a forward-looking formulation, this work allows the analysis of novel hybridisation and electrification control strategies impact. We validated our platform components against a commercial tool (VECTO) adopted by the European Commission for combustion powertrain analysis. In this article, we provide a modular platform for heavy-duty vehicles, in a widely used software inside the automotive industry. Furthermore, our platform offers the possibility to introduce customised control strategies for hybrid-electric vehicles. This work analyses the impact of parallel and serial hybrid powertrain topologies.Item Fuel consumption analysis tool based on hybrid electric vehicle models(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Otaola, Eneko; Arteta, Beñat; Pérez, Joshué; Sierra-Gonzalez, Andres; Prieto, Pablo; POWERTRAIN; CCAMThe reduction of fuel consumption and Greenhouse Gases is of key importance during the last decades. Heavy-duty vehicles have been extensively researched due to the significant pollution produced. This work presents a novel simulation platform for different heavy-duty powertrain topologies: mainly combustion and parallel hybrid. This work was developed in the framework of a LONGRUN project, where a platform was implemented based on forward-looking formulation. This allows the assessment of hybrid control systems development, analysing the impact of the hybrid and electric topologies. We compared the results with a commercial tool (VECTO) adopted by the European Commission to validate the platform components over combustion powertrain analysis. In this paper, we provide a modular platform for heavy-duty vehicles, in a widely used software inside the automotive industry. Moreover, our tool has the possibility to implement hybrid electric vehicles powertrain topologies for the assessment of their control strategies and the analysis of fuel consumption and Greenhouse Gases emissions. The results show proposing results in terms of performance of the model used and fuel saving.
