Development of Advanced Conventional and Hybrid Powertrains by Mechanistic System Level Simulations

This paper presents a mechanistic system level simulation approach for modeling hybrid and conventional vehicles. It addresses the dynamic interaction between the different domains: internal combustion engine, exhaust after treatment devices, electric components, mechanical drive train, cooling circuit system and corresponding control units. Both vehicle topologies are powered by a spark ignition and compression ignition engine. Analyses concentrate on the transient phenomena caused by high interdependency of the sub–systems. Thereby the applicability of mechanistic system level models to adequately represent specific characteristics of the components is highlighted. To achieve high fidelity results of multi–domain simulations featuring high predictability and high computational speed it is necessary to develop adequate simulation tools considering all characteristic time scales of different domains and the nature of their interaction. Analyses are based on the verified models powertrain models. Simulation results of vehicles driven according to a legislative cycle provide the basis for comparative analyses of energy efficiency and exhaust gas emissions.
