Many EMS are solved using different types of deterministic rules (rule-based (RB)) or optimization-based (OB) methods. The disadvantage of these strategies is that the primary energy flows in the drive are only solved “ex post,” when in principle, they cannot bring a substantial increase in energy recovery. A little-studied HEV traction drive topology is an internal combustion engine (ICE), supercapacitor (SC), traction motor (TM), and electric power divider (EPS) assembly. The original EMS method implemented in this assembly is based on the control of energy flows at the physical level in the DC link node. Changes in the power of the TM, under the condition of zero summation of currents in the DC link, will spontaneously induce energy spillover from and to the supercapacitor. The state of energy (SOE) in the supercapacitor can then be maintained by the balanced power of the ICE. This makes it possible to achieve a reduction in accelerations of approximately 30%. In principle, the presented EMS makes it possible to absorb all the kinetic and potential energy of negative driving resistances, thereby significantly reducing vehicle consumption. The strategy does not even require knowledge of the driving profile and bypasses complicated optimization algorithms. When validating the EMS method on an experimental test bench by implementing the driving cycle into real prototype components of the HEV physical model, a recovery rate of 14% was achieved, but the potential is up to twice that.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48518,"journal":{"name":"IET Electrical Systems in Transportation","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/2024/3459997","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142152213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective function of the model is established from the perspective of circuit cost and static power consumption, and a multi-objective optimization model is established through its overall circuit scheme. Finally, in order to reduce the time cost, the multi-objective optimization model is processed by the fusion of neural network and genetic algorithm. Among them, the experimental results show that the optimization effect of Bayesian neural network (BNN) is the most significant, and the static power consumption and cost of the circuit can be reduced by 55% and 42%, respectively, with less time overhead.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48518,"journal":{"name":"IET Electrical Systems in Transportation","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/2024/3963166","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, studies related to wheel flats have focused on the mechanical part and have yet to fully consider the electrical and mechanical parts of the entire traction drive system. Therefore, this paper first builds an electromechanical coupling model based on the electric traction drive system and the locomotive-track coupling dynamics model. Then, based on this model, the impact of the wheel flat on the electrical and mechanical parts of the traction drive system under different flat lengths, different flat depths, and different vehicle speeds was analyzed. The results indicate that with the increasing depth of the flat spot, the wheel–rail dynamic response, motor rotor speed, and motor torque exhibit more significant fluctuations.

The FSM is compared to other electrical motors, highlighting its potential as a suitable choice for EV traction. Various configurations and techniques are reviewed to enhance the performance of FSMs, including magnetic materials, torque ripple alleviation, and magnetic flux weakening. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed, providing valuable insights for designing FSMs for EVs. Generally, EV traction requires high torque density and high power density electrical motor. To achieve these goals, high electric and magnetic loading must be considered in design stage of the motor. Application of the FSM may be one of the appropriate option.

The architecture of the suggested charger ensures the intrinsic advantage of power quality improvement in discontinuous current conduction (DCC) mode at the supply mains. The suggested NB-IPCuk converter scheme has fewer components than other bridgeless/nonbridged Cuk converter schemes. This is because the NB-IPCuk converter is a partial integration of two Cuk converters. The usage of the Cuk converter garnishes the system with input and output inductances, which lessens supply current harmonic distortion and, thus supply terminal low pass filter requirement is eradicated. The advantages of the NB-IPCuk converter are the eradication of one inductor and multiple diodes (two back-feeding diodes), which are generally used in NB converter configurations. In place of two separate inductors, the NB-IPCuk converter uses a single secondary side output inductor. The usage of BL configuration of NB-IPCuk converter eradicates the bridge rectifier (BR) stage, and thus, the BR-associated losses also got eradicated. The NB-IPCuk converter also garnishes the system with electrical isolation which adds to the safety standards of the system. DCC mode operation of the NB-IPCuk converter is used in the present work. DCC mode requires lesser sensors in comparison to continuous current conduction mode. The abovementioned benefits of the NB-IPCuk converter make the SSBCS system cheaper, compact, and more efficient.
