Electric motor is key part in electric vehicles including hybrid electric vehicle, fuel cell electric vehicle and battery electric vehicle. Wide torque-speed range and high reliability are needed of the motor applied in electric vehicles. Novel hybrid switched reluctance motor is developed. It combines features of robust as switched reluctance motor and that of high efficiency of permanent magnet motor. Flux strengthening and weakening control give large maximum torque and high speed to the motor drives. They are implemented by only simply controlling the magnitude and direction of the current in an additional coil in the motor. Rotor position is detected by the signal from stationary coils in the motor and rotor speed is calculated according to this signal. To test characteristics of the motor drives, an experimental bench is developed. It is easy to test four quadrants torque-speed and dynamic characteristics of the motor drives. The whole testing system is energy saving.

This paper describes the transient thermal modelling of an electrical conductor used in the automobile electrical harnesses. This study includes 4 principal parts: Initially, a geometrical subdivision of the cable based on the mesh network method is described. Then, a detailed study of the heat transfers is made, particularly the internal convection and the radiation leading to the thermal modelling of a conductor. The implicit method of Crank-Nicolson then permits to numerically solve the obtained matrix system in order to predict the thermal behaviour of a wire. Finally, the mathematical model was validated by several experiments on samples of cables fitted with local thermocouples and electrical measures. The model could also be extended to high power applications, in particular the power cables used in electric vehicles.

In the recent years, Due to high performance, power density and less generated noise of Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motors (PMSM), they have received a lot of attention for traction application in land, sea and under sea vehicles. In this paper, a new digital controller is proposed and applied to a PMSM. The proposed control technique adjusts motor current amplitude and phase to achieve different ranges of speed. The control logic is different for below and above motor nominal speed. In this method, the typical PID controllers which cause complicated control strategy are removed. This new technique is simple, fast, stable, and reliable to drive PMSM in wide range of speed.

Electro Energy, Inc. (EEI) has developed a bipolar battery utilizing a patented wafer cell design, applicable to both NiMH and Li-Ion chemistries. This battery is particularly suitable for meeting the high-voltage, high- energy demands of modern and emerging plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). EEI's battery technology has the potential to provide a rebuttal to the most common argument for not developing and mass-producing PHEVs, which is that presently available battery technologies do not provide sufficient energy density at a low enough cost and in a small enough package to make such vehicles practical. The EEI battery design is such that conventional current tabs, collectors, and inter- cell connections are eliminated, yielding a battery that is smaller and lighter than a comparable non-wafer battery having an equivalent energy density. In addition, the stacked wafer design has lower internal impedance than conventional batteries, allowing for higher discharge rates and less internal heat build-up. The NiMH version of this battery design has already been successfully demonstrated by EEI in the conversion of a Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) to a PHEV. A next generation PHEV conversion using a Li-Ion wafer cell battery is presently being implemented. This paper will discuss the advantages of the wafer cell design, past experiences and results obtained with the NiMH PHEV conversion, and future expectations for the Li-Ion PHEV conversion.
electroenergy, Inc. (EEI)利用专利晶圆电池设计开发了一种双极电池,适用于镍氢和锂离子化学。这种电池特别适合满足现代和新兴的插电式混合动力汽车(phev)的高压、高能量需求。EEI的电池技术有可能反驳那些认为不能开发和大规模生产插电式混合动力汽车的最常见的观点,即目前可用的电池技术无法以足够低的成本和足够小的包装提供足够的能量密度,使这种汽车成为现实。EEI电池的设计省去了传统的电流片、集电极和电池间连接,产生的电池比具有同等能量密度的类似非晶圆电池更小、更轻。此外,堆叠晶圆设计具有比传统电池更低的内部阻抗,允许更高的放电速率和更少的内部热量积聚。这种电池设计的镍氢版本已经被EEI成功地用于将丰田普锐斯混合动力汽车(HEV)转换为插电式混合动力汽车。使用锂离子晶圆电池的下一代PHEV转换目前正在实施中。本文将讨论晶片电池设计的优势,镍氢插电式混合动力电池转换的过去经验和结果,以及对锂离子插电式混合动力电池转换的未来期望。

Due to the stop-and-go drive cycle of refuse collector vehicles, hybrid power trains allow significant fuel saving. These power trains are very complex systems because of additional components like an electrical machine, an energy storage, etc. In order to exploit full potential of such systems optimal sizing of the components is essential. The sizing of the components can be seen as an optimization problem with the objectives "minimize fuel consumption" and "minimize vehicle weight". For the optimization scalable component models are required, which are presented here. The results of the optimization show that additional fuel saving combined with reduced weight is possible with optimally sized components compared to a heuristically designed vehicle.

In this paper, a space vector current controller for an induction motor drive system for vehicle applications is presented. The control method utilizes harmonic current components represented in a rotated coordinate system with chosen switching states from a switching table. The proposed current controller determines a set of space vectors with the sector selection and applies the selected vector based on the hysteresis controller. The proposed approach can improve the performance of an induction motor drive such as the switching power loss and the total harmonic distortion. The simulation results and the performance comparison with the conventional methods are presented. The proposed method is also verified based on the prototype test-bed using a digital signal processor.

This paper describes the modeling and validation of a hybrid electric vehicle powered by hydrogen internal- combustion engine. The engine was converted from a regular gasoline engine. The model of this vehicle was developed in PNGV Systems Analysis Toolkit (PSAT), which tracks engine flow and fuel usage within the vehicle powertrain and energy conversion components. The powertrain control strategy was developed and tuned in PSAT first and was then incorporated into the vehicle. The vehicle then was tested on the EPA highway driving cycle to provide data for validation of the model. Vehicle data and modeling results show good correlation at high steady-state and difference in transients.

The interprofessional projects (IPRO) program at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) offers a multidisciplinary, practical learning experience by allowing students from different majors to apply their skills to real world projects. In the companion entrepreneurial IPRO (EnPRO) program, which brings together business and engineering majors, the vital link between business and technology is explored. Students of EnPRO projects work not only on developing but also commercializing new products and services, or solving broader societal problems through their business strategies. This paper summarizes the work of EnPRO 351: "solar/battery hybrid (electric) three- wheel auto rickshaw for India". EnPRO 351 parallels a funded technical research and development effort that is taking place at IIT. Students in the project were introduced to the auto rickshaw and its role in the culture and economy of India. Members of this team investigated the political, economic and technological scene in India today with respect to this vehicle. In addition, the concept of electric vehicles (EVs) was examined and the team determined the feasibility of different types of EV auto rickshaws. Investigation into the current petrol (gas), compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stations also revealed the possibilities for building supporting infrastructure for EV auto rickshaws, as well as incorporating solar technology in current and future stations. This paper gives insight into the research methods employed by the teams during different semesters of the project and the outcomes of this research. Many EnPROs have laid the foundation for new startup ventures, and this is the anticipated result of this project, especially with the parallel development of a solar/battery prototype vehicle. The thorough and detailed work presented here, including a feasibility study and opportunity analysis, may serve as a guideline to future development not only on the vehicle but on new infrastructure as well.

A system designed for use as an integrated starter- alternator unit in an automobile is presented in this paper. The new system utilizes a basic squirrel-cage rotor induction machine with the ability to externally switch the winding configuration for optimal performance. A conventional V/f motor controlling inverter drives the machine in starting mode and rectifies the output of the generator in alternating mode. A system controller manages the inverter and user interface to the system. This system is designed to minimize cost and exhibit good reliability.
