Full-Scale Power Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation of an Electric Vehicle using Energetic Macroscopic Representation

In the automotive sector, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulation is a useful step to develop new controls and energy management methods. We propose to develop a comprehensive and efficient full-scale power HIL simulation of a commercial electric vehicle using the graphical formalism of the Energetic Macroscopic Representation. This platform allows taking into account the limitations and component constraints at real power scale. After a validation step, we propose to modify the vehicle energy management to demonstrate the flexibility of the approach. Vehicle modifications may be validated in real time at the full-scale power.
