2. 6. A Methodology for the Design of Cost Effective Hybrid Vehicles

   Author : Jonas Hellgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fuzzy logic; system engineering; model car; optimal design; evolutionary algorithms; hybrid electric vehicle; alternative powertrain; simulation; modeling; genetic algorithms; fuel cell vehicle; hybrid vehicle;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with system design of cost effective hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. Today (2004) the major disadvantages of these vehicles are increased complexity and component costs. However, the decrease in cost of electrical components and the environmental concern make these vehicles more and more competitive. READ MORE

4. 7. Optimal Powertrain Dimensioning and Potential Assessment of Hybrid Electric Vehicles

   Author : Nikolce Murgovski; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; powertrain sizing; plug-in slide-in HEV; Dynamic Programming; convex optimization; Hybrid electric vehicle; power management;

   Abstract : Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), compared to conventional vehicles, complement the traditional combustion engine with one, or several electric motors and an energy buffer, typically a battery and/or an ultracapacitor. This gives the vehicle an additional degree of freedom that allows for a more efficient operation, by e.g. READ MORE

5. 8. Vehicle Level Diagnosis for Hybrid Powertrains

   Author : Christofer Sundström; Lars Nielsen; Erik Frisk; Mikael Norrlöf; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : There are possibilities to reduce the fuel consumption in trucks using hybrid technology. New components are added when hybridizing a vehicle, and these need to be monitored due to safety and legislative demands. Diagnosis aspects due to hybridization of the powertrain are investigated using a model of a long haulage truck. READ MORE

6. 9. Electric machine control for energy efficient electric drive systems

   Author : Andreas Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; permanent magnet synchronous machine PMSM ; noise assessment; Energy efficiency; modulation techniques;

   Abstract : Pure electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are of increasing interest in the automotive industry, much due to challenges such as emission level legislations and the environmental impact of the transportation sector. When continuously striving for better performing and more energy efficient electric powertrains, with high drivability and redundancy, there is an ever increasing need for further research and development in the areas of controls, design and system level optimization.
