Virtual lab on power systems management: A. Escolà, A. Dòria-Cerezo, R. Costa-Castelló the Hybrid Electric Vehicle IOC- Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya 8th IFAC Symposium on Advances in Control Education Kumamoto, October 21-23, Introduction The increase in industrial activity, and the improvement of population living standards makes that the European Union (EU) increases year by year its energy consumption. Different strategies are developed to search for alternative energies and to rationalize and optimize the energy consumption. Temporary energy storage elements can be applied to manage the energy consumption of several systems, such as an Hybrid Electric Vehicle.

Costa-Castelló the Hybrid Electric Vehicle IOC- Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya 8th IFAC Symposium on Advances in Control Education Kumamoto, October 21-23, HEV model HEV can be classified in two large families, depending on the topology: Series: mechanical decoupling between ICE and the wheels, which allows to regulate the ICE speed independently of the velocity of the vehicle. Parellel: only one electrical machine is required.

Costa-Castelló the Hybrid Electric Vehicle IOC- Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya 8th IFAC Symposium on Advances in Control Education Kumamoto, October 21-23, HEV model: The DC bus All electrical components are connected through a DC bus. All elements connected in the DC bus share the same voltage, Vbat, which in the model is fixed by the batteries in order to assure causality. This connection is modelled using the Kirchhoff law:

Costa-Castelló the Hybrid Electric Vehicle IOC- Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya 8th IFAC Symposium on Advances in Control Education Kumamoto, October 21-23, HEV model: Electric machines Permanent magnet motors, induction motors, and recently switched reluctance machines, are considered the most likely candidates for the propulsion system for an HEV. Since the dynamics of the electrical machines are faster that the vehicle ones, they are reduced to a simple static relationships:

These outputs are constituted by different windows which contain generic graphics and representations of the systems. 3.Control: This part contains the actions that a user can perform on the simulation.
