Development And Validation Of A Control Strategy For A Parallel Hybrid (Diesel-Electric) Powertrain, Jimmy C. Mathews
Development And Validation Of A Control Strategy For A Parallel Hybrid (Diesel-Electric) Powertrain, Jimmy C. Mathews
Theses and Dissertations
The rise in overall powertrain complexity and the stringent performance requirements of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) have elevated the role of its powertrain control strategy to considerable importance. Iterative modeling and simulation form an integral part of the control strategy design process and industry engineers rely on proprietary ?legacy? models to rapidly develop and implement control strategies. However, others must initiate new algorithms and models in order to develop production-capable control systems. This thesis demonstrates the development and validation of a charge-sustaining control algorithm for a through-the-road (TTR) parallel hybrid (diesel-electric) powertrain. Some unique approaches used in powertrain-level control …

Hybrid Electric Vehicle Modeling In Generic Modeling Environment, Shravana Kumar Musunuri
Theses and Dissertations
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is a complex electromechanical system with complex interactions among various components. Due to the large number of design variables involved, the design flexibility in the HEV makes performance studies difficult. As the system complexity and sophistication increases, it becomes much more difficult to predict these interactions and design the system accordingly. Also, different variations in the design and manufacture of various components and systems involve a large amount of work and cost to keep updated of all these variations. While the above issues ask for a flexible design environment suitable for vehicle design, most of …
