Hardware-In-The-Loop Emulation Of A Small Electric Race Car Using Energetic Macroscopic Representation

The objective of this work is to describe the implementation of Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulation for an electric Formula Student car, previously represented through Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR). HIL simulation can be seen as an intermediate step between software simulation and the production process of an actual device or power system. This allows more realistic results, without investing lot of time for the development of the full system. Results from HIL simulations and software simulations match, apart from some minor differences.
