Comparison of Parameterization Methods for Real-Time Battery Simulation Used in Mechatronic Powertrain Test Benches
Abstract
This paper deals with the real-time simulation of a power tool battery pack on a mechatronic powertrain test bench. The ability of an easy-to-use model for quick and iterative test runs mainly depends on the effort of parameterization. For this purpose, an easily parameterizable battery model is required. The battery model used is based on the current state of research and simulates the battery's behavior with an adequate precision. The suggested parameterization allows building the model without the necessity of experimental investigation. Three different procedures for model parameterization were used and compared with the real battery behavior. In conclusion, this paper shows a good tradeoff between precision and an easy way to handle a battery model for testing mechatronic powertrains.
