• Abstract:
  User-friendly tools are needed for undergraduates to learn about component sizing, powertrain integration, and control ; strategies for student competitions involving hybrid vehicles. A TK Solver tool was developed at the University of Idaho for ; this purpose. The model simulates each of the dynamic events in the Formula Hybrid Society of Automotive Engineers ; (FHSAE) competition, predicting average speed, acceleration, and fuel consumption for different track segments. Model ; inputs included manufacturer's data along with bench tests of electrical and IC engine components and roll-down data. This ; vehicle performance model was used to design the 2014 vehicle’s hybrid architecture, determine the energy allocation, and ; to select the batteries. Model predictions have been validated in full vehicle tests under simulated race conditions. The TK ; Solver tool has proven effective in making decisions about sizing gasoline and electric power components, establishing an ; optimal coupling connection between the electric motor and the gasoline engine, selecting and configuring the battery pack, ; tuning the gasoline engine, and making recommendations for energy management under different driving conditions. The ; resulting vehicle is being readied to compete in the 2014 FHSAE competition.
