This paper will discuss the benefits of using advanced thermal management systems in hybrid electric drivetrain, and the different control strategies that can be used to enhance system performance. A detailed one dimensional (1D) simulation model for power split hybrid electric system was developed which consists of three cooling circuits. This model is characterized by a complete modularity and permits the simulation of any new design configuration to investigate the effect of advanced thermal management on system performance. Proportional Integration Derivative (PID) module was used to apply the control strategies. The system behavior has been optimized using Design of Experiment (DoE) method. The simulation results showed a superb fuel economy (4:11) % that solves the problems of high operating costs, also decreasing time of cold start by 50% and increasing the high temperature of the coolant up to 125°C. The motor and generator temperature controlled to the optimum temperature which operate them at the maximum efficiency. These results can be used to be the basis of the final system layout and thermal management strategy.","PeriodicalId":319762,"journal":{"name":"2012 7th International Forum on Strategic Technology (IFOST)","volume":"240 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132623028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The finite element analysis (FEA) result is compared with the result form computation using mathematical equation and an experimental result which cited from Fongsamootr T. and Chartpuk P. [2006]. It is found that the FEA result has deviation about 1% and 8% respectively. Traffic sign post structure is exerted by three forces in the same time; body force, Vehicle-Induced Gusts and wind load. The higher stiffener plate leads to decrease of maximum stress at the column base. Height extension of stiffener plate from 250 to 350 mm with fixed thickness and base width leads to increase in the safety factor of column and stiffener plate. Rectangular stiffener plate with cut off a corner (type C) is the best type for supporting the base of traffic sign post column. Cutting of a corner of rectangular stiffener plate results increase of stress in itself but less than maximum stress in traffic sign post column.","PeriodicalId":319762,"journal":{"name":"2012 7th International Forum on Strategic Technology (IFOST)","volume":"463 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121168675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ZigBee technique, for its low power consumption, low cost and convenience, is proper to be used in the positioning system for underground coal mine [1]. In this paper, a new positioning algorithm for coal mine underground based on ZigBee technology is proposed, in which NNSS (Nearest Neighboring signal strength) is adopted for preliminary location, and then DTM (dynamic triangular measurement) locating method is employed for precise ranging and position. The system with the algorithm for coal mine enterprises provides personnel tracking, monitoring and other functions [2]. When an accident happens, the system can determine positions of miners and numbers of miners in time, to ensure emergent rescues and guarantee the life safety with high efficiency.","PeriodicalId":319762,"journal":{"name":"2012 7th International Forum on Strategic Technology (IFOST)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115254813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
