A Study of Vehicle Energy Management during Warming up Process Using VHDL-AMS Multi-domain Simulation

Abstract

In this paper, by employing thermal characteristic modeling to the main components of the vehicle model for example, engine, transmission and battery, we examine the heat energy management and fuel consumption of the testing drive patterns especially during warming up process. The simulation data agree well with measurement data. Our vehicle simulation results provide VHDL-AMS validity for multi-domain energy management and the vehicle system planning.
