Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicle

Amongst the hybrid vehicle propulsion solutions aiming to improve fuel efficiency, hybrid electric solutions currently receive most attention, especially on the market. However, hydraulic hybrids are an interesting alternative, especially for heavier vehicles due to higher power density which is beneficial if higher masses are moved. As a step towards a comprehensive design framework to compare several possible hydraulic hybrid architectures for a specified application and usage profile, the model of a series hydraulic hybrid vehicle was previously introduced and initially studied concerning component sizing for an exemplary light-duty vehicle in urban traffic. The vehicle is modeled in the Hopsan simulation tool. A comparably straight-forward engine management is used for the vehicle control; both pump and engine controls are based on the hydraulic accumulator’s state-of-charge. The model is developed further with respect to the accumulator component model. Based on that, the influence of several system and component parameters, such as maximum system pressure and engine characteristics, as well as controller parameters on the vehicle’s performance is analyzed. The goal is to allow for more understanding of the system’s characteristics to facilitate future optimization of the system.

The need for increased design flexibility and reduced weight and volume for electric power generation infrastructure has driven an increased interest in the use of high speed generators directly driven by gas turbine prime movers for both military and commercial power generation applications. This transition has been facilitated by the use of dc distribution and recent advances in the performance of solid state power conversion equipment, enabling designers to decouple the power generation frequency from typical 60 Hz ac loads. Operation of the generator at the turbine output speed eliminates the need for a speed reduction gearbox and can significantly increase the volumetric and gravimetric power density of the power generation system. This is particularly true for turbines in the 3 to 10 MW power range which typically operate with power turbine speeds of 7,000 to 16,000 rpm. The University of Texas at Austin, Center for Electromechanics (UT-CEM) is currently developing a 3 MW high speed generator and turbine drive system for a hybrid vehicle propulsion system as a part of the Federal Railroad Administration’s Advanced Locomotive Propulsion System (ALPS) Program. The ALPS system consists of a 3 MW turbine/alternator prime mover coupled with a 480 MJ, 2 MW flywheel energy storage system. Although designed as the prime mover for a high speed passenger locomotive, the compact turbine/alternator package is well suited for use in marine applications as an auxiliary turbine generator set or as the primary propulsion system for smaller vessels. The ALPS 3 MW high speed generator and turbine drive system were originally presented at the ASME Turbo Expo 2005 [1]. This follow-on paper presents the results of mechanical spin testing and No-Load electrical testing of the high speed generator and the Static Load testing of the generator and turbine drive system at NAVSEA (Philadelphia, PA) with a fixed resistive load. The generator has been tested to a 1.5 MW power level in the Static Load procedures and is being prepared for the final test phase to include dynamic power exchange with the flywheel.

Conventional vehicles are creating pollution problems, global warming and the extinction of high density fuels. To address these problems, automotive companies and universities are researching on hybrid electric vehicles where two different power devices are used to propel a vehicle. This research studies the development and testing of a dynamic model for Prius 2010 Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD), a power-split device. The device was modeled and integrated with a hybrid vehicle model. To add an electric only mode for vehicle propulsion, the hybrid synergy drive was modified by adding a clutch to carrier 1. The performance of the integrated vehicle model was tested with UDDS drive cycle using rule-based control strategy. The dSPACE Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulator was used for HIL simulation test. The HIL simulation result shows that the integration of developed HSD dynamic model with a hybrid vehicle model was successful.
