Dynamic simulation model of a hybrid electric ATV. Journal of Transport System Engineering, 8 (2). pp. 1-7. ISSN 2289–9790 (2021)
Abstract
Electric vehicles have disadvantages of limited capacity of the battery, and this influence the mileage range it can covered. A hybrid electric All-Terrain-Vehicle (HEATV) equipped with gasoline-powered engine and electric generator can extend the range covered by an electric ATV. In order to determine the effectiveness of the hybrid configuration, a dynamic simulation model is developed by using Energetic Macroscopic Representation Method (EMR) to analyse the performance of the ATV. The EMR method involve the causal ordering graph and action-reaction principle together with Inversion-based Control to develop a control structure of the HEATV. The simulation test was run on the original and modifications of the ATV where the original one only depends on electric motor (EM) and battery to drive the vehicle whereas the modified vehicle include the internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric generator for charging process. The simulation results of the originalATV show the decreasing trend in terms of battery state-of-charge. However, after modifications of the simulation model, the battery state-of-charge show an increasing trend and thus, extend the range of mileage covered by the ATV.
