Hybrid vehicles are increasingly common due to fuel efficiency regulations in place worldwide. High performance hybrids have typically been designed with a focus on improving performance, rather than the combination of both performance and efficiency. In order to improve efficiency of high performance cars, new hybrid architectures are necessary. When incorporating an electric motor, careful focus on operational modes allows for removal of certain elements, such as the reverse gear. Additionally, installing an electric motor directly coupled to the transmission without a clutch gives performance benefits, but requires detailed control of motor speed and novel methodology for shifting. In this paper, the design of an experimental setup for the electric drive in a high performance car hybrid transmission is presented. This architecture allows for characterization of synchronizer behavior during two different shifting methodologies. The first methodology is synchronizing a large rotational inertia with a small shaft speed difference (this differs from a gear shift in a traditional transmission with a large speed difference but small inertia). This situation is encountered when coupling an electric motor to the drivetrain, as the inertia of the electric motor is relatively large compared to a transmission layshaft, but the speed difference is small. The second is testing shifting of a synchronizer where dog tooth engagement happens immediately, with no friction cone to match the speed. This type of shifting is possible with precise electric motor speed control, sensing of the dog tooth position, and fast actuation. This methodology eliminates the need for a friction cone in the synchronizers, while maintaining fast gearshifts for performance driving. Our experimental setup for the electric drive in a hybrid transmission will be used to characterize synchronizer performance with these new shifting methodologies. The insights gained from this setup will aid in designing advanced hybrid architectures.

When electrifying working machines, energy-efficient operation is key to maximise the use of the limited capacity of on-board batteries. Previous research indicate high energy savings by means of component and system design. In contrast, this paper focuses on how to maximise energy efficiency by means of both design and control optimisation. Simulation-based optimisation and dynamic programming are used to find the optimal electric motor speed trajectory and component sizes for a scooptram machine equipped with pump control, enabled by digital displacement pumps with dynamic flow sharing. The results show that a hardware configuration and control strategy that enable low pump speed minimise drag losses from parasitic components, partly facilitated by the relatively high and operation point-independent efficiencies of the pumps and electric motor. 5–10% cycle energy reductions are indicated, where the higher figure was obtained for simultaneous design and control optimisation. For other, more hydraulic-intense applications, such as excavators, greater reductions could be expected.

The problem of increasing the efficiency of power units of autonomous electric transport vehicles is considered. The task of creating a promising power system control device has been singled out. It is determined that in creating such devices, significant results can be obtained by using an intelligent module in the control loop of the electric drive. Goal. It is necessary to develop a power plant model with intelligent control, allowing to obtain data sets about currents, voltages and engine speeds in different modes of operation. The architecture of an intelligent control device, a PID controller based on a neural network, has been proposed; it has been proposed to exclude rotor angular velocity sensors from the classical feedback loop. The type and architecture of the neural network is defined. In the software environment MatLab the model of neuroemulator of the engine for formation of a training sample of a neural network by a method of Levenberg – Marquardt is developed. The trained neural network is implemented in the developed model of the electric motor control loop. The results of simulation of the intelligent control device showed a good convergence of the output influences generated by the neuroemulator with the actual parameters of the electric motor.

The results of the analysis of transient and technological processes of the irrigation pumping station of the first lift, taking into account the negative starting effects on the synchronous electric drive, are considered. The analysis and review of the ways of regulating the performance of the units of the irrigation pumping station of the first lift are made, and the main difficulties of the existing methods of regulating the pump supply are revealed. Computer simulation of starting modes of high-voltage synchronous electric motors with direct and soft start, where soft starter was used for soft start, was carried out. The simulation took into account the changes in the currents of all phases of the electric motor, the electromagnetic torque, the motor speed, the effective value of the current, as well as the static torque. The introduction of semiconductor soft starters for electric drives of high-power pumping units has been substantiated.

When designing electric drives based on brushless DC motors with permanent magnets (BLDC), which have low level torque pulsations, the problem of modelling non-standard topological solutions appears. The known models of BLDC motors are either based on the assumptions about the symmetry of the stator pa-rameters of the electric motor and/or the ideal form of the phase back-EMF waveform, which reduce the accuracy of evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed solutions or prove unusable for modelling an operation of the electric motor with a non-standard semiconductor converter. It is necessary to develop a mathematical model of the BLDC motor-based electric drive that takes into account the structural features of the electric motor and allows for semiconductor converter configuration variability. The model is designed in the Matlab Simulink environment. The verification is carried out by comparing the modelling results with experimental data obtained previously by other researchers. The proposed method for generating phase back-EMF in the BLDC motor model provides the possibility for the user to set the EMF form templates independent for each phase. The proposed method for stator circuit simulating provides the user with access to each of the stator windings leads as well as with the possibility of asymmetric determination of each parameter of the electric motor. Upon verification, it has been shown that the difference in the control points between the simulated and experimental speed-torque curves does not exceed 3,5 %. The developed model allows analyzing the static and dynamic characteristics of operation modes of non-standard topology BLDC motor-based electric drives taking into account the stator pa-rameters asymmetry and the real phase back-EMF waveform. The specified features of the model allow exploring the operation of the designed electric drive, taking into account the BLDC motor and converter design. The model can be applied when checking atypical design decisions and when changing the set parameters of the electric drive and restrictions on working conditions and target functions to refine the control system algorithms and automate the search for optimal parameters of the motor and the semiconductor converter.

This article aim to be able to take advantage of an electric motor as a net puller on a fishing boat using solar energy. The use of human labor as a net puller requires a large amount of energy and needs a break to be able to do more withdrawal activities, so the number of withdrawals that can be done is very limited. Pantai Jaya fishing groups as partners are among the 20 active fishing groups in the Pasie Nan Tigo sub-district of Koto Tangah subdistrict of Padang City who experience these problems. The problem of this partner can be given a solution in the form of the use of an electric motor as a towing net on a fishing boat. In order not to cause problems in terms of electricity supply, solar energy can be used by using solar cells, so there is no addition of fuel oil. The implementation method given is direct installation and provision of extension materials on the use of solar cell technology and the introduction of components and hand tools. This activity was carried out for two days which included preparation, installation and training, followed by a group of fishermen. The fishing group received a set of solar cells, electric motors, batteries and other accessories and installed them. Based on tests that have been carried out in sunny weather conditions at 300C, a load of 50 kg with a rated voltage at that time 12.4V, motor speed 2.7m / min, 2.4A. Based on the results of these tests indicate that the solar cell system has worked according to the parameters it should. Therefore, it can be said that this activity has been carried out properly and the solar cell system is functioning properly. Participants hope for these activities to be carried out for the following year, because there are still a number of fishing boat groups that are in dire need.
