Based on the real-time model and platform, a dynamic hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing method for the distributed powertrain of electric vehicle (EV) is proposed. Compared with static point testing, the dynamic HIL test can provide a more realistic working environment for the EV's distributed electric powertrain (DEP) early development. The test data of electric motor's efficiency and maneuver performance under a dynamic work condition are more authentic and meaningful. Meanwhile, the driver-vehicle-road real-time (DVRRT) model is set up to emulate the actual condition. The speed-tracking control method with proportional-integral (PI) gains tuned by the neuron network algorithm is used to generate the distributed real-time loads. Maximum adhesion limitation is added once the slipping is detected in the real-time model. Simulation and experiment of the test bench are done. The generated distributed load is compared with both the theoretical one and the simulated one in the Carsim software platform. Two comparisons show the similar results. The load accuracy is high, but there is a short time delay. The mechanical work measured by the experiment test bench is highly consistent (97.5%) with the theoretical value. As a result, the proposed test bench and its control method can be used for DEP efficiency test. Index Terms-Distributed electric powertrain (DEP), drivervehicle-road real-time (DVRRT) model, dynamic loading, dynamometer, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test bench.
Boron-doped diamond (BDD) films were deposited by hot cathode direct current plasma chemical vapor deposition (HCDC-PCVD) according to various mixture ratios of CH4/H2/B(OCH3)3 gas. The Raman performances and surface morphologies of the BDD films were then characterized by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that the flow rate of B(OCH3)3 had marked effects on the growth characteristics of the produced boron-doped diamond films. The presence and concentration of the doped boron atoms significantly altered both the surface morphologies and structures of the diamond films. With increasing flow rate of B(OCH3)3, the crystal grain surfaces became smooth as visible under SEM. The B-doping levels in these films increased from 1.75 × 10 19 cm -3 to a maximum of 2.4 × 10 21 cm -3 , estimated from the Raman spectra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
