To shorten design period and reduce development costs, computer modeling and simulation is important for HEV design and development. In this paper, real-time simulation for a Series Hybrid Electric Vehicle (SHEV) is made to verify its fuzzy logic control strategy based on dSPACE-DS1103 development kits. The whole real-time simulation schematic is designed and the vehicle forward-facing simulation model is set up. Modeling methods for the driver, controller and vehicle (includes engine, generator, motor, battery, etc.) under MATLAB/Simulink environment are discussed in detail. Driver behavior is simulated by two potentiometers and introduced into the real-time system to realize close-loop control. A real-time monitoring interface is also developed to observe the experiment results. Experiment results show that the real-time simulation platform works well and the SHEV fuzzy logic control strategy is effective.
