Hybrid HMMWV Applied Research Project for TARDEC - DRS TEM ECE Advisory Board Meeting
Generation 1 HE HMMWV ECE Advisory Board Meeting
HE-HMMWV Project With TARDEC/DRS-TEM Project Goals: Support TARDEC in improvement of Technology Readiness Level of HE-HMMWV project with following actions: • Review the existing Performance Simulation Model. • Review current ATC test plan and recommend revision if needed. • Compare the intended test measurement items to the model outputs and identify gaps. • Review the field test data, compare results with design expectations and identify issues. ECE Advisory Board Meeting
HE-HMMWV Project With TARDEC/DRS-TEM Project Goals (cont.): • Develop possible corrective actions and recommend modifications to the Simulation model as appropriate. • Receive the test vehicle from TARDEC after completion of tests at ATC and conduct evaluation experiments of acceleration performance on AEI 4WD Vehicle Chassis Dynamometer. • Review the test results from the Dynamometer, develop improvement recommendations and propose block diagrams for high-level system model. • Prepare a Technical Report addressing the above efforts. ECE Advisory Board Meeting

Excel Spreadsheet Model ECE Advisory Board Meeting
DRS Excel models • Slope Model – Maximum weight carrying capabilities for various grades • Velocity Model – Torque and maximum driving range capabilities at various velocities • Acceleration Model – Speed profile at maximum throttle. ECE Advisory Board Meeting
Limitations of current Excel model • Performance model only • Individual models of slope, constant velocity, and acceleration • Lack of flexibility • Difficult to change • No plug and play capability • Cannot modify numerical techniques for computation • Difficult to find errors • Easy to introduce errors • No hierarchical structure • No graphical user interface • Cannot create an executable version • Difficult to enhance for future model development ECE Advisory Board Meeting

OBJECTIVES OF DYNO TESTING • Acquire experimental data to assist in validating LTU Matlab/Simulink Model. • Conduct constant velocity tests with minimal vehicle loading. (Completed) • Conduct “flat top” and known velocity profile tests with minimal vehicle loading. (30 mph completed) • Conduct “flat top” and know velocity profile tests using full vehicle loading: aero drag, rolling resistance, and grade. (In planning stage) ECE Advisory Board Meeting

Outlook Extension of current funding will help offset the additional effort for creation of Simulink Model from the existing Excel Spreadsheet Model and enhancements to the model as we incorporate the test experience in this Simulink Model. AEI Team is confident in our ability to handle this complex and sophisticated project. The Project provides our students unique opportunity for learning and employment due the unique learning experience in sophisticated skills. It also helps develop faculty with “state of the art” knowledge and skills and help create new knowledge. Our knowledge and base experience positions us to be more efficient and effective for future phases of the project. Expands AEI opportunities for serving TARDEC in additional projects in other areas of this and other vehicles. ECE Advisory Board Meeting
Roadmap for Immediately Available Additional Funding • Model Input as ATC track data (velocity and grade as a function of time) • Combine (3) individual models to one consolidated model • Correlate model with current Dyno test capability • Correlate model with ATC track data ECE Advisory Board Meeting
Roadmap for Future Funding Cycles(Multi-year) • Enhance Dyno capabilities with velocity and grade as a function of time • Fuel Economy measurement capability on Dyno • Hierarchical model development with limited Plug & Play a) Model Individual components (Motors, Generators, Battery, Controllers, Engine, Tires, Aerodynamics,….) – Additional Software & Commercial Licenses required. Experimental Verification of above (Instrumentation required) b) Model Subsystems (Motor, Generator & Controller Engine & Controller Battery & Controller) Experimental Verification of above c) Total Vehicle System Model Experimental Verification of above ECE Advisory Board Meeting
