Vehicle Energy Consumption calculation TOol - VECTO

Transcription

1 Vehicle Energy Consumption calculation TOol - VECTO Dr Dimitrios Savvidis European Commission DG Unit C4: Road Transport

2 Simulation tool to calculate both, fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions from the whole vehicle

3 Vecto development - VECTO has been developed by the Commission (DG CLIMA leading, JRC) with TUG support over the last seven years - ACEA, OEMs and component manufacturers have been also involved and provided key input and test vehicles

4 Tests Tests, on trucks, performed in demonstrated VECTO's accuracy and reliability. The software was further tested and improved in 2015 during the "Pilot Phase - PP". The tool is now broadly ready to be the backbone of certification.

5 VECTO - Structure

6 Model structure - Four main modules

7 Model structure - Four main modules

8 Simulation of engine power

9 Simulation's steps Identification of the vehicle Allocation of generic data Convert distance based cycle to time based Apply driver's assist functions (overspeed, Eco-Roll, etc.) Vehicle longitudinal dynamics Generic driver gear-shift model to compute rpm Interpolation from fuel map, apply "WHTC correction factors" Information for customer Reporting for TAA Data for monitoring purposes 9

10 VECTO's modes Declaration mode where all generic data and the test cycle are allocated automatically as soon as the vehicle class is defined. Engineering mode where the user can select and change all input data to allow recalculation of test data e.g. for model validation.

11 VECTO output In the declaration mode FC and CO 2 emissions are automatically calculated for all test cycles allocated to the vehicle for average payload and full load. Results given in g/km, g/cm 3 -km, g/ton-km or g/pass-km. Other metrics can be also considered at a later stage

23 Input data: Aerodynamic drag - RRC Constant speed test (at 2 speeds) Rim torque meter Anemometer Correction for gradient and for vehicle speed variations Correction for ambient P and T F = F0 + Cd * A * v² *r/2 Important tire and vehicle conditioning for accurate Cd*A results. RRC calculated in these tests not to be used. Official value to be used for monitoring purposes
