Recently, the trend of zero emissions has increased in automotive engineering because of environmental problems and regulations. Therefore, the development of battery electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid/plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs/PHEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) has been mainstreamed. In particular, for light-duty electric vehicles, improvement in electric motor performance is directly linked to driving range and driving performance. In this paper, using an improved design for the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), the EV driving range for the light-duty EV was extended. In the electromagnetic design process, a 2D finite element method (FEM) was used. Furthermore, to consider mechanical stress, ANSYS Workbench was adopted. To conduct a vehicle simulation, the vehicle was modeled to include an electric motor model, energy storage model, and regenerative braking. From these results, using the advanced vehicle simulator (ADVISOR) based on MATLAB Simulink, a vehicle simulation was performed, and the effects of the improved design were described.

This paper addresses the establishment of a kVA-range plug-in hybrid electrical vehicle (PHEV) integration test platform and associated issues. Advancements in battery and power electronic technology, hybrid vehicles are becoming increasingly dependent on the electrical energy provided by the batteries. Minimal or no support by the internal combustion engine may result in the vehicle being occasionally unable to recharge the batteries during highly dynamic driving that occurs in urban areas. The inability to sustain its own energy source creates a situation where the vehicle must connect to the electrical grid in order to recharge its batteries. The effects of a large penetration of electric vehicles connected into the grid are still relatively unknown. This paper presents a novel methodology that will be utilized to study the effects of PHEV charging at the sub-transmission level. The proposed test platform utilizes the power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) concept in conjunction with high-fidelity PHEV energy system simulation models. The battery, in particular, is simulated utilizing a real-time digital simulator ($RTDS^{TM}$) which generates appropriate control commands to a power electronics-based voltage amplifier that interfaces via a LC-LC-type filter to a power grid. In addition, the PHEV impact is evaluated via another power electronic converter controlled through $dSPACE^{TM}$, a rapid control systems prototyping software.

Global primary energy demand is projected to increase by 1.7% per year from 2000 to 2030. Almost three-quaters of the increase in demand will come from the transportation sector. Fuel cell hybrid vehicle technology has the potential to significantly reduce energy and harmful emissions, as well as our dependence on foreign oil. In this paper, a systematic and logical methodology is developed and improved mainly to design light duty fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle. We investigated structure and characteristics of light duty FC hybrid vehicle carefully. It can easily be expanded to analyze vehicle-to-grid power connectable plug-in NeHEV. A fuel cell hybrid neighbourhood electric vehicle configuration has been studied in-depth utilizing the proposed methodology.

An educational network system based on CAN protocol internal to a passenger ground vehicle has been developed. The developed network system has been applied to a commercial plug-in electrical vehicle and verified the educational applicability. To apply this in-vehicle network technology based on CAN, a suitable electric vehicle has been chosen and a CAN network structure has been designed, developed and manufactured. Since the commercial electric vehicle chosen as a test bed has its own proprietary electric network, we explain how the original electric network has been utilized and how the new network system has been designed. The developed network system on a real vehicle has been tested to show the applicability and the performance. Finally, the system has been applied at few classrooms to demonstrate how the in-vehicle network system works and to teach how to analyse the CAN signals. The developed system proven to be effective for educational purpose.

In this paper, a new shift map was proposed to improve the fuel economy of a transmission mounted electric device(TMED) type dual clutch transmission(DCT) plug-in hybrid electric vehicle(PHEV) by considering transmission and motor losses. To construct the shift map, powertrain efficiencies of the engine-DCT-motor were obtained at each gear step. A shift map that provides the highest powertrain efficiency was constructed for the given wheel torque and vehicle speed. Simulation results showed that the fuel economy of the target PHEV can be improved by the new shift map compared with the existing engine optimal operating line(OOL) shift control.

최근 화석연료의 고갈로 인해 전기 자동차의 중요성이 점차 커지고 있다. 전기 자동차를 사용하기 위해서는 자동차에 내장된 배터리를 수시로 충전해야 한다. 전기 자동차는 소음, 진동에 있어 매우 뛰어난 성능을 구현한다. 하지만 배터리의 한계상 1회 충전 시 주행거리가 내연 자동차보다 상당이 짧으며, 배터리 충전 시간도 주유 시간에 비해 상대적으로 매우 오래 걸린다는 단점이 있다. 전기 자동차용 배터리를 충전하는 방식은 플러그인 방식과 무선 충전 방식이 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기 자동차용 무선 충전 기술에 대한 소개와 주요 국가의 기술 개발 현황 및 표준을 소개하였다.

The most concerning issue of these days is the energy crisis caused by increasing threat of dependence on imported oil and volatile market trend. Under these circumstances, the PHEV(plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) is drawing attention for the next generation's car which could give a chance to decrease the dependence on imported oil and reduce the environmental impact of vehicle. The fueling cost of PHEV, one of the core factor of decision about buying car, should be calculated in the circumstances of Korea to make sure that PHEV has competitive power in real market. The fuel cost saving of PHEV versus CV(conventional vehicle) is simulated and discussed in the condition of increasing gasoline cost, electricity rate, and city-gas rate. In conclusion, the PHEV60-FS shows the best economic feasibility when gasoline price goes up. The PHEV20 has the most stable economic feasibility as electricity rate increases. The fuel cell cogeneration system for RPG could be an alternative for charger of PHEV in the near future.

본 논문에서는 자동차가 전기모터로 주행하다가 배터리가 방전되면 엔진으로 구동할 수 있도록 연결해 주는 클러치 시스템에 적용된 BLDC 모터의 위치제어기를 제안한다. 클러치 시스템에 사용되는 BLDC 모터의 구동은 Hall 센서로부터 검출된 회전자 위치정보를 이용하여 위치제어를 수행하였다. PHEV 시스템에서는 클러치를 엔진과 전기모터로 연결해야 하므로 정확하고 빠른 위치제어를 위해 위치제어기를 적용하였고, 클러치 연결 시 진동을 최소화하기 위해 속도제어기를 사용하여 엔진의 속도와 클러치 모터의 속도를 동기가 되도록 하였다. 또한 위치제어를 하기 전에 클러치의 초기위치를 맞춰 줘야 하므로 모터의 위치정보를 이용하여 속도제어기와 전류제어기로 모터를 일정한 위치로 이동시켰다. BLDC 모터의 전압제어를 위한 PWM 방법은 기존의 바이폴라 PWM 보다 전류리플이 적은 유니폴라 효과를 내는 새로운 바이폴라 PWM 방법을 사용하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

In this work, we have developed a test system to examine whether the charge indicator of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) works properly or not. In PHEV, the driver should charge the necessary electricity by plugging in manually and be able to know the charging status through the charge indicator conveniently located for the charging individual. Our system used the CAN bus to transmit the same commands from ECU to the indicator to test the proper operation of the indicator lights. It measured the electric current values during operation and analyzed to determine the quality of the indicators. The inspection items included the proper packaging, the electrical shorts, the LED lighting during charging, the LED lighting for charging failure, and the LED lighting when errors occur. We developed the system for the operators in the factory allowing them to approve the test results at the site. We developed the hardware, the control software, and the software to store the test results and the history of the products in the database. Serial numbers were given to the good quality products and the bar code labels were printed to trace the products afterwards. Through this work, we developed a system to inspect the electric parts in real time upon fabrication. We are planning to further improve our system to inspect the brightness of the indicator by adding the vision inspection in future.

A potential breakthrough of the electrification of the vehicle fleet will incur a steep rise in the load on the electrical power grid. To avoid huge grid investments, coordinated charging of those vehicles is a must. In this paper, we assess algorithms to schedule charging of plug-in (hybrid) electric vehicles as to minimize the additional peak load they might cause. We first introduce two approaches, one based on a classical optimization approach using quadratic programming, and a second one, market based coordination, which is a multi-agent system that uses bidding on a virtual market to reach an equilibrium price that matches demand and supply. We benchmark these two methods against each other, as well as to a baseline scenario of uncontrolled charging. Our simulation results covering a residential area with 63 households show that controlled charging reduces peak load, load variability, and deviations from the nominal grid voltage.
