Global Methodology to Integrate Innovative Models for Electric Motors in Complete Vehicle Simulators

Global Methodology to Integrate Innovative Models for Electric Motors in Complete Vehicle Simulators — By what means the greenhouse gas emissions of passenger cars can be reduced to 120 g/km in 2012 and 95 g/km in 2020 as the European Commission and the automotive manufacturers are stated? This question with multi answers preoccupies at the moment the whole automobile world. One of the most promising solutions which receive attention is the electrification of the vehicle. It is this idea that has prompted the automobile manufacturers to envisage increasingly innovative hybrid vehicles. However, this theoretically interesting solution makes more complex the powertrain, which requires the use of simulation tools in order to reduce the cost and the time of system development. System simulation, which is already a crucial tool for the design process of internal combustion engines, becomes indispensable in the development of the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). To study the complex structures of HEV, following the example of the physical models developed for the internal combustion Oil & Gas Science and Technology – Rev.
