“…The model has been developed in a research project at Aalto University. It is partly based on a previously developed quasi-static series hybrid vehicle simulation model [23], and the model has been verified with the aid of Hardware-In-the-Loop measurements [24]. Simultaneously, a conventional loader model was developed and validated with the data acquired in the real operating conditions of an actual underground mining loader.…”

The objective of this paper is to evaluate technical requirements for electrochemical energy storage systems (ESSs) in hybrid mining loaders. These requirements take into account power and energy capacity, costs, life cycle, and safety-related requirements. The evaluation of the requirements is based on the characteristics of the current energy storage technology and vehicle simulation results. The evaluation shows that lithium-based batteries offer sufficient power and energy capacity; meanwhile, the requirements for cost and cycle life durability are dependent on the operating strategy and configuration of the loader. In particular, the power-intensive duty cycle of a mining loader can be challenging for batteries in terms of cycle life and thermal management.

“…An HIL setup was also used in [22] to increase the fidelity in simulation of a fuel cell vehicle. To find the efficiency maps and for model verification, an HIL setup (containing all the components of an HEV) was used in [23]. The campus-wide setup in [17], including several components in different labs across the campus, was used to simulate different component sizes in an HEV powertrian.…”

Abstract:We have developed a battery hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setup, which can facilitate the process of design and evaluation of power management controllers for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in a novel cost-and time-effective manner. Since the dynamics of the battery greatly affects the HEV power management controller design, and because such dynamic behavior is difficult to model, physical batteries and a real-time battery cycler are included in the setup for greater simulation fidelity. The setup employs a scaled-down battery HIL that reduces the development and testing efforts, while, by using Buckingham's Pi Theorem, maintains the required flexibility and enhances the control loop fidelity.In this article, the application of the setup in integrating the development and the evaluation processes is shown. First, the setup is used for parameter identification of a simple control-oriented model of the battery, which is then used in the power management controller design. Finally, the real-time performance of the designed controller, programmed into an electronic control unit (ECU), is tested with the same setup in the realistic control environment. Furthermore, the battery HIL simulation results show that the designed controller is able to accurately capture the dynamics of the real system, by which the assumptions made in its design process can be confidently justified.

“…HIL communicates the physical hardware under test and links it to a computer model that simulates the other aspects of the system. HIL has been successfully applied to the development and testing of embedded controllers in a wide variety of engineering fields: automotive applications [1], power electronics systems [2]- [3], radar systems [4]- [5], and robotics [6].…”

Abstract-This paper exposes a hardware-in-the-loop methodology to verify the performance of a programmable and configurable application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that implements piecewise affine (PWA) controllers. The ASIC inserted into a printed circuit board (PCB) is connected to a logic analyzer that generates the input patterns to the ASIC (in particular, the values to program the memories, configuration parameters, and values of the input signals). The output provided by the ASIC is also taken by the logic analyzer. A Matlab program controls the logic analyzer to verify the PWA controller implemented by the ASIC in open-loop as well as in closed-loop configurations.
