Hybrid Energy Sources for Heavy Truck: Simulation and Behavior

Abstract

This paper proposes the study of an experimental test bench ECCE (Evaluation of the Components of an Electric Power train) which is a hybrid series vehicle. The aim of this work is to study this hybrid system while being focused on the various components (batteries, thermal engine, alternator, control), in order to make evolve this platform by testing several operating modes and also to determine the performance and operation limits. A work has been carried out on modeling and experimental tests in order to achieve a simulator which will represent the operation of the hybrid energy system and which can be used to study for example the decayed mode, the availability of the sources of energy and the functionalities of the various parts of a hybrid vehicle.
