Inductances are modelled as functions of q-axis current based on the flux data obtained experimentally. For a given torque and a given speed, the loss minimizing current sets are searched from the experimental power loss data which are obtained for various d-axis current. The loss minimizing current sets are made into a lookup table, and it is utilized in the torque control loop. This controller guarantees high efficiency in every possible torque-speed operating point.","PeriodicalId":345424,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132745879","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}

Electric differentials have the advantages of replacing loosy, heavy and inefficient mechanical transmission and mechanical differential with a more efficient, light and small electric motors directly coupled to the wheels via a single gear or an in-wheel motor. To date, electric differentials have been proposed for two and four wheeled vehicles. Despite its long reported success and possible advantages in terms of flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky manoeuvres. Electric differential has several problems in practical applications; for instance, an increment of control loops, increase of computational effort and slip. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to present a simple and easy to implement electric differential. The proposed strategy has the advantages of having a linear model and a straightforward implementation. Numerical simulations using Matlab-Simulink are shown for a 4 kW system which is able to handle 500 kg mass and deliver peak power up to 10 kW during transit periods.","PeriodicalId":345424,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123954389","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}

Advanced double-sided cooling configurations with aggressive heat transfer coefficients show the possibility of meeting these targets for a 125degC maximum junction temperature, but further investigation is needed. Even with maximum tolerable junction temperatures of 200degC, effective heat transfer coefficients of 5,000 to 10,000 W/m2-K will be needed for coolant temperatures of 105degC or higher.","PeriodicalId":345424,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125979099","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}

A FC-HEV drive train essentially requires an optimal control strategy for appropriate power management and regulation between different on-board energy sources and the electric propulsion system. In this paper, two popular types of power control strategies for FC-HEVs are investigated. These include the power follower scheme and the equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS). Both control strategies are modelled, simulated, and tested specifically for a rear- wheel driven mid-sized sport-utility vehicle (SUV). The behaviour and favourability of the two strategies from the point of view of critical performance aspects are compared and analyzed, based on which, further optimization suggestions and techniques are presented.","PeriodicalId":345424,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127211915","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}
