Key Techniques

A helicopter auxiliary power unit (APU) is initially equipped with a hydro-mechanical control system (HMC). Because HMC's complex structure is difficult to be modified to realize sophisticated control algorithms and the APU is faced with the need for performance improvement, it is urgently necessary to carry out digital control modification of HMC. Based on the analysis of control laws of the original HMC and differences between HMC and digital control system, key techniques involved in the digital control system are studied, such as overall structure, control laws and fuel system based on electric fuel pump, and finally a full authority digital electronic control system (FADEC) is developed for APU. Functions, performances and key techniques of the FADEC system are evaluated on test rig, and the test results show functions of original control system are enhanced and performances of APU are improved more effectively under the control of the designed FADEC compared with the original HMC.

Technological Analysis

Gas turbine systems are among potential energy converters to substitute the internal combustion engine as auxiliary power unit in future series hybrid electric vehicle powertrains. Fuel consumption of these auxiliary power units in the series hybrid electric vehicle strongly relies on the energy converter efficiency and power-to-weight ratio as well as on the energy management strategy deployed on-board. This paper presents a technological analysis and investigates the potential of fuel consumption savings of a series hybrid electric vehicle using different gas turbine–system thermodynamic configurations. These include a simple gas turbine, a regenerative gas turbine, an intercooler regenerative gas turbine, and an intercooler regenerative reheat gas turbine. An energetic and technological analysis is conducted to identify the systems’ efficiency and power-to-weight ratio for different operating temperatures. A series hybrid electric vehicle model is developed and the different gas turbine–system configurations are integrated as auxiliary power units. A bi-level optimization method is proposed to optimize the powertrain. It consists of coupling the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to the dynamic programming to minimize the fuel consumption and the number of switching ON/OFF of the auxiliary power unit, which impacts its durability. Fuel consumption simulations are performed on the worldwide-harmonized light vehicles test cycle while considering the electric and thermal comfort vehicle energetic needs. Results show that the intercooler regenerative reheat gas turbine–auxiliary power unit presents an improved fuel consumption compared with the other investigated gas turbine systems and a good potential for implementation in series hybrid electric vehicles.
