Next-generation tracked combat vehicles must satisfy high mobility and fuel efficiency while securing low-noise operation for survivability, automation/unmanned capability, and sufficient electrical power margin for high-power weapon systems. This research paper considers a series hybrid structure where the drive motor provides propulsion and the engine operates solely for power generation.
To enable efficient control verification for series hybrid powertrain structure, a computationally efficient MILS-based dynamic simulator is developed by integrating an averaged-model-based DAB converter with a system-level powertrain model and an integrated control structure for power distribution and DC-link voltage regulation. The simulator is evaluated under a general driving profile, a 0–70km/h acceleration scenario, and a 60% gradeability scenario, confirming stable speed-command tracking and regulated DC-link voltage around the 800V reference within bounded variations.
