REAL-TIME SIMULATION OF HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRACTION DEVICES

The testing of electric drives using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) digital simulation, in which a device is tested while connected to a real-time dynamic equivalent of the rest of the system, is described. The HIL implementation of a complex IGBT motor drive system used in large off-highway trucks is outlined. The simulated model comprised two IGBT bridges connected to an interphase transformer that feeds the induction motor. The model is designed in the Simulink software using integrated algorithms that are compatible with RT-LAB software. The test performs a one-bridge simulation with a square wave modulation of the induction motor voltage. The importance of precise IGBT gate timing capture for accurate simulation is emphasized.
