Set Up

The basic configuration and operation modes of the series extended-range electric vehicle were analyzed and a new method of engine choice and fuel economy evaluation was proposed. A co-simulation platform is set up with Cruise and Matlab/Simulink to evaluate the rule-based engine on-off and optimal operation line control strategies. The simulation results with typical driving cycles illustrate that: firstly, the engine on-off control strategy makes engine and generator operate on their best efficiency points, and its fuel economy is better than optimal operation line control strategy; secondly, when the optimal operation line control strategy is adopted in Extended-Range Mode, the engine downsizing will be beneficial and the extended-range electric vehicle (E-REV) will achieve a better fuel economy and control effect.

Light weight materials which possess high strength and durability are being utilized by the automotive industry to increase fuel economy. Rapidly solidified (RS) Al alloys are currently being extensively studied for this purpose. In this investigation the microstructure of an extruded Al-8Fe-2Mo alloy, produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Goverment Products Div. was examined in a JE0L 2000FX AEM. Both electropolished thin sections, and extraction replicas were examined to characterize this material. The consolidation procedure for producing this material included a 9:1 extrusion at 340°C followed by a 16:1 extrusion at 400°C, utilizing RS powders which have also been characterized utilizing electron microscopy.
