Hi Bardia,
I remember using ADVISOR many years ago. Good times :) A few thoughts for you to consider:
- I don't think it's reasonable to expect ADVISOR and the VVC models to match exactly. ADVISOR is a 30 year-old Simulink model that uses different component models and different controllers than what is in the VVC. You can parameterize the vehicle models similarly to get similar responses, but they will never match exactly.
- If you want to more closely align simulation results, start by making subsystem test harnesses. Once you've parameterized your components the same way, feed the same open-loop inputs to them and compare the results.
- Some components may be very difficult to match. For example, VVC uses Magic Formula tire models. Those are very commonly used today, but were not published when ADVISOR first came out. Don't expect every component to behave the same because they aren't always using the same equations under the hood.
- Consider the impact of the controller. ADVISOR is a backward-facing model, which means it prescribes the vehicle's velocity and determines the energy required to meet that velocity. VVC is a forward-facing model, which means it prescribes a target velocity, then uses a driver and controller model to try to get the vehicle as close to the target velocity as possible. This will of course have a big impact on how the simulations behave.
Hope that helps,
Mike
