There are several types of environment friendly vehicle being developed by auto manufactures. HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) is most applicable one among them in actuality. HEV has two power sources, one is an internal combustion engine, the other one is an electric device. The HEV is developed for reducing fuel consumption and emissions. We selected the diesel engine as a main power source of HEV. The tests were carried out under different driving cycles which was CBDBUS (Central Business Driving Bus Schedule) and HWFET (Highway Fuel Economy Test). This research presents a simulation for the fuel economy and the emission of heavy diesel hybrid vehicle according to the SHEV (Serial Hybrid Electric Vehicle), PHEV (Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle), Plug-in SHEV and plug-in PHEV.

In order to improve fuel economy and emissions, many studies of HEV have been conducted. However, most of these studies concentrate on parallel or power-split HEVs. Series-type HEVs have some advantages over parallel and power-split HEVs. One is that the engine is operated at high efficiency since the engine and the driveshaft are decoupled. Nevertheless, the optimization of the powertrain system of series HEV has not been specifically addressed. We conduct an optimization of the generation system of a series HEV based on the series HEV bus. The main objectives are to simulate the system and to compare the fuel economies of conventional and optimized generation systems.

This paper describes the PSIM simulator for the analysis of the series type HEV operation. The traction force of the series type HEV of which engine is electrically coupled with a traction motor is supplied from the traction motor only. The rating of each power train components, such as gear, motor, ESS, ICE/generator, is designed with the Energy-Based Modeling method and the Electrical Peaking Hybrid(ELPH) method. Under driving cycle, the designed series HEV is evaluated with the developed PSIM simulator. A comparison between the conventional braking and the regenerative braking is performed with the average motor input power. And the fuel economy analysis is carried out on the basis of the simulation results.

본 논문에서는 엔진, 발전기, 견인 전동기, 배터리, 전력 변환기로 구성된 직렬형 하이브리드 전기 자동차의 최적 효율 운전 및 통합 전력제어에 관해 논의한다. 제안된 시스템의 엔진은 최적 효율 운전을 위해 부하에 따라 가변속(Variable Speed) 운전되며, 속도를 가변하여도 필요한 전력을 순시적으로 제어할 수 있다. 또한 자동차가 요구하는 다양하고 순시적인 전력의 변동에 대응할 뿐만 아니라 엔진의 연료 효율 및 배터리의 수명을 고려하여 엔진과 배터리의 전력을 적절히 분배하여 공급할 수 있는 통합 전력제어 방법에 관해서도 논의한다. 제안된 통합 전력제어 알고리즘의 유용성은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

하이브리드 자동차는 동력을 얻기 위해 엔진과 전동기를 모두 사용한다. 이 하이브리드 자동차의 구동부 구조는 다양한 형태로 구성할 수 있는데, 이 중 직렬-병렬 구조는 엔진의 토크 및 속도 자유도를 모두 확보할 수 있어 높은 효율을 달성할 수 있다. 직렬-병렬 구조는 발전기, 전동기, 그리고 속도 분배를 위한 유성 기어를 이용하여 주로 구현되고 있고, 최근에는 다양한 새로운 형태의 전동기가 개발되어 이를 구동부에 적용하는 것에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 중 고정자를 회전자에 독립적으로 회전시킬 수 있는 새로운 형태의 전동기를 사용하는 구조에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 위의 전동기는 기존 구조에서 유성 기어 및 발전기의 역할을 대체하여 토크 분배 및 전기적 출력 변환을 수행할 수 있다. 또한, 회전하는 고정자에 인버터 회로를 탑재하여 슬립 링 대신 회전하는 고정자에 전력을 공급하는 방식을 제안한다.

본 논문은 새로운 역률보상회로를 적용한 플러그인 하이브리드 전기 자동차 탑재형 완속 충전기(On-Board Charger, OBC)를 제안한다. 제안하는 완속 충전기용 역률보상회로 (Power Factor Correction, PFC)는 기존의 부스트 컨버터를 기본으로 하는 역률보상회로와 동일한 개수의 회로 부품과 입 출력전압 관계를 가진다. 회로 구조상 전파 정류된 DC 전압을 저장하는 입력 커패시터와 입력 인덕터의 에너지가 저장되는 출력 커패시터가 직렬 결합되어 DC-link 전압을 형성하므로 출력 커패시터의 동작전압(Working voltage)을 낮출 수 있어 단가절감이 가능하다. 제안된 역률보상 회로를 적용한 플러그인 하이브리드 전기 자동차 탑재형 완속 충전기에 대한 동작 특성을 해석하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 타당성을 검증한다.

Because of high oil prices and emission gas problems, many governments tighten regulation of fuel economy and emission gas. For Passenger car, there are many researches for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and they are being manufactured. On the other hand, there are few researches for plug-in hybrid electric bus that is heavy commercial vehicle. In this study, analysis of fuel economy for series plug-in hybrid electric bus according to engine operation strategy based on simulation is conducted. Forward simulator is developed using Autonomie. Engine operation strategies consist on constant engine operation strategy and engine on/off operation strategy. Considering the engine operation strategy, results of vehicle speed, engine operating points and fuel economy are obtained and analyzed. As a result, engine on/off operation strategy has more advantage than constant engine operation strategy in terms of fuel economy.

A control algorithm is developed for highly efficient operation of auxiliary power unit (APU) that consists of a diesel engine and a directly coupled induction generator in series hybrid electric Bus (SHEB). In a series hybrid configuration the APU supplies the electric power needed for maintaining the state of charge (SOC) of the battery unit in various conditions of vehicle operation. As the rotational speed of generator does not depend on the vehicle speed, an optimized operation of engine-generator unit based on the efficiency map of each component can be achieved. The output torque of diesel engine can be controlled by the amount of fuel injection, and the power converted from mechanical to electrical energy can be adjusted by generate control unit (GCU) using the decoupling vector control of torque and flux. As for the given reference of the generating power, the multiply of speed and torque, many combinations of operating speed and torque are possible. The algorithm decides the new operating point based on the engine efficiency map and generator characteristic curve. During the transition of operating points, the speed controller saturation is avoided using variable limit and filtering of generator torque reference. A test rig and SHEB consist of a 1.5L diesel engine and a 30kw induction generator are constructed by Hyundai Motor Company.

본 논문에서는 73kW IPMSM으로 구동되는 직렬 하이브리드 전기자동차 구동시스템에서 직류 전압의 운영 수준에 따른 전력변환시스템의 효율을 분석하였다. 여러 직류 전압 수준에 대한 배터리, 커패시터 및 3상 인버터의 손실을 PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하여 효율을 알아보았다. 직류 동작 전압을 증가시키면 배터리와 커패시터에서의 손실은 감소하지만, 인버터의 손실은 도통 손실과 스위칭 손실의 변동정도에 따라 달라진다. 분석 결과로 $300V_{dc}$에서 $600V_{dc}$로 직류 전압 운영 수준을 증가시키는 경우에 전력변환시스템의 효율은 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

A hybrid charging method with serial and parallel architecture has been developed to resolve the unbalanced charge problem among battery cells for Electric Vehicles. In this method, the major charging is performed with serial part and the balancing is carried out with the parallel part, where the serial part is big and heavy but the parallel part is smaller and lighter than serial part. A sensor array to detect the individual battery cell voltage, duty rate control incorporated IGBTs, and battery management system are employed as the core parts of the proposed system.
