Rapid validation of battery management system with a dymola hardware-in-the-loop simulation energy storage test bench

Abstract

The paper presents a concept and an implementation of a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) energy storage test bench. This system permits to simulate energy management strategies or battery models in real time in combination with a real energy storage system. A vehicle behavior is simulated on computer, such as longitudinal dynamics, internal combusting engine (IEC), electric motors etc. and a software interface to a Data Acquisition Card (DAQ) provides real signal inputs and outputs from the simulation environment. The presented HIL system is an adequate platform for the verification and validation of battery models, thermal management models or battery management models. © 2007 WEVA Journal.
