A Full Vehicle Simulation of an HEV Starter-Generator Concept with the SmartElectricDrives Library

The presented work proposes a simulation environment using Modelica programming language for full vehicle simulations. A special software library suitable for Modelica simulations is used - the SmartElectricDrives (SED) library. This software is developed to simulate all parts of the electrical drive systems, and furthermore, allows to choose different levels of abstraction in the simulation design. Typical applications for the SED library are simulations of vehicular systems such as full vehicle simulations of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs), simulations of electrified auxiliary drives, etc. In this work a full vehicle simulation of an HEV concept with a starter-generator is presented and all the parameters of the electrical components are discussed.
