In recent studies, various types of multi mode electric variable transmissions of hybrid electric vehicles have been proposed. Multi mode electric variable transmission consists of two or more different types of planetary gear hybrid powertrain system(PGHP), which can change its power flow type by means of clutches for improving transmission efficiencies. Generally, the power flows can be classified into three different types such as input split, output split and compound split. In this study, we analyzed power transmission characteristics of the possible six input split systems, and found the suitable system for single or multi mode hybrid powertrain. The input split system used in PRIUS is identified as a best system for single mode, and moreover we identified some suitable systems for dual mode.

We designed the compound CVT(Continuously Variable Transmissions) by combining power circulation mode and power split mode, which have been proposed for connecting 2K-H I differential gear to the V- belt type CVU(Continuously Variable Unit), as an input coupled type. With the designed compound CVT, we carried out theoretical analysis and performance experiments for efficiency, speed ratio, power flow, and power transmission ratio. We proved that the compound CVT had a better performance than either of the power circulation mode or power split mode.

In this paper, powertrain of output split type plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is analyzed for the operation range of speed, torque, and power. First, it is assumed that the efficiency of motor is 100%. And, the speed and torque equations are derived based on the lever analogy. With the above equations, the simulations are performed for the powertrain of output split type plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. From the simulation results, it is found that the output torques of EV1 and series modes are larger than the EV2 and power split modes' ones. It means the EV1 and series modes can be used for the rapid acceleration. But the EV1 and series modes can be used only the velocity of under the 120 km/h. It is because the motor reaches its maximum speed when the velocity is over the 120 km/h for the EV1 and series modes. When the engine is turned on, the engine power is transmitted through the two motors. But, the power split mode shows the power split of engine at the output shaft, and it has the point of zero motor power. Thus, the transmission efficiency of the power split mode can be higher than the series mode's one, it the motor efficiency is considered.

This paper defined design constraints for the compound CVTs (continuously variable trans-missions) by combining power-circulation-mode CVTs and power-split-mode CVTs, which were proposed for connecting 2K-H I-type differential gear to V-belt-type CVU (Continuously Variable Unit). The design constraints are the necessary and sufficient conditions to avoid geometrical interferences among elements in the compound CVTs, and to guarantee smooth assembly between the power-circulation-mode CVT and power-split-mode CVT Two com-pound CVTs were designed and manufactured in accordance with the design constraints. With these compound CVTs, theoretical analysis and performance experiments were conducted. The results showed that the design constraints were valid and effective design method, and that the designed compound CVTs had the improved performance.

Generally the power flows can be classified into three different types such as Input split, output split nd compound split.

There are six combinations of the input-split powertrain, each combination has various lever length. We find optimal planetary gear ratios for fuel economy and acceleration performance, and compare performances of each combination.

In this paper, the input split type series-parallel hybrid electric vehicle (SPHEV) is established and the interpretation of the dynamic characteristics in four kinds of HEV modes, such as electric vehicle mode, engine mode, hybrid mode, and regeneration mode, is described. For this research, the forward-facing approach simulation method is chosen, which is useful for vehicle dynamic analysis. The rating of each powertrain component is designed based on energy-based concept and electrical peaking hybrid (ELPH) method. Finally, the designed powertrain is evaluated with the developed PSiM simulator and simulation results are shown.

The power split hybrid powertrain is considered to be one of the most prospective configuration for the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Toyota Prius, representing this type of vehicle, showed outstanding performances in fuel efficiency, emission reduction and acceleration. The excellence is largely due to the fact that it utilizes almost all operation modes of HEV. Those modes include ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) driving, idle stop, fuel cut-off, power assist, active charging, regenerative braking and so forth. In this paper, a few of the mode operations were simulated using AVL Cruise. Also, control logics to operate the powertrain in each mode were developed. The states of powertrain components were displayed and analyzed. By controlling the three components (engine, motor and generator), it was possible to run the powertrain in several hybrid operation modes.
