Thedataregardingtheexternalcharacteristic, fuelconsumption,andemissionsareacquiredfrom theexistingengine test. Then, theworkingcharacteristicof theengine isobtainedbya lookuptableor fitting. Thecurrentmaximumtorqueandfuelconsumptionrateof theenginecanbeacquiredbya lookuptableaccordingto thecurrentenginespeedandtorque in theSimulinkmodel.

Themotorpowercanbecalculatedbasedonthe followingequation: Pm= ImUm= ⎧⎨ ⎩ Tmωe 9550ηm , Tm≥0 Tmωeηm 9550 , Tm<0 , (3) where Im is themotor current;Um is the bus voltage; ηm refers to themotor efficiency; Pm is the motorpower. The working efficiency and external characteristic curves of the ISG and in-wheel motors, whichareshownbelowinFigures3and4, respectively,areobtainedfromtheexperiment. 286
