Design of a Rapid Validation Platform for Model-Based Powertrain Control Strategies

In light of the growing intricacy and demand for control in power systems, model-based design (MBD) methodologies have become a prevalent approach in the development of control strategies. This paper proposes a rapid and comprehensive model-based verification platform for powertrain control strategies, with a particular focus on its capacity for seamless integration with MATLAB/Simulink models. The design of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) enables the platform to perform general-purpose functions, including sensor signal acquisition, actuator driving, and data interaction. In a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test, the platform exhibits exemplary hardware driving performance and control strategy verification capability, which can markedly reduce the development cycle and reliance on external devices. This study offers a comprehensive and effective approach for the rapid development and assessment of power system control strategies, establishing a crucial foundation for advancing research and practice in related domains.
