Introduction

The electric car exist from the eve of automobile in the end of 19th century

After a rather erratic period that ends up in the 30ies, the piston engine has definitively won the contest and has been, since that time, the dominating solution for road vehicles

Electric machines has intrinsically superior characteristics superior to piston engines: Constant power in a large range of operation

No idle regime

Easy maintenance

Reliability

5

Introduction

However the energy storage system based on batteries appears to be less efficient than petrol that was abundant and cheap: Higher specific energy so longer range and autonomy

Easiness of maintenance

Not expensive

Abundant

Nowadays, while one might have believed that electric drivetrain was forgotten for ever, piston engine is the victim of its success story: Reduction of petrol resources

CO2 emissions

Emissions of pollutants from combustion

6

Introduction

In the beginning of the 21st century, the electric motor could be the final winner.

Indeed, in order to preserve individual mobility, on needs vehicles with:

Less pollutants

Less noise

Less fuel consumption

Electric powertrain architrectures

One can distinguish 2 different solutions:

Centralized motorization: similar to ICE configuration = one single motor and the power is transmitted to the wheels via a transmission line including gear boxes, transfer boxes, differentials, shafts.

Decentralized motorization: electric motors are located on each wheels or against each wheel sets (boogie).

On can further distinguish motors actuating the shaft or using direct drive technique

23

Need for a gear box and a clutch?

In a naïve conversion of ICE cars to electric, one keeps the gear box and may be the clutch.

However electric machines have

No idle speed

Large range of operating speed (0 to 3.000 rpm - 12.000 rpm)

Electronic controllers can regulate torque and speed easily

Electric drivetrain can be equipped with a simple gear box: one or two gear ratios

24

Need for a gear box and a clutch?

25

Need for a gear box and a clutch?

Advantages of gear box with a fixed reduction ratio : No shock during operations. Smooth driving.

Planetary gear boxes can achieve important reduction ratios in a single stage with a good efficiency

Cost of electric motor strongly depends on the maximum torque: Using a high speed motor is favorable to reduce the cost

But the acceleration factor is affected by high gear ratio

Selection of single or multiple gear ratios depending on: Acceleration requirements

Max slope and max drawbar pull requirements

Speed range of the motor

26

Unique or multiple motors configuration?

The unique motor configuration is typical from ICE.

With electric motors, on can imagine more innovative design and it is possible to actuate each degrees of freedom independently as in robotics and mechatronic systems.

With distributed motorization with multiple motors, one can even abandon the concept of differential and replace it by 2 or 4 motors, one per each wheel.

The mechanical differential is replaced by an electronic differential systems with control loop.

27

Unique or multiple motor configuration?

Advantages of multiple motor configurations

Reduction of the weight and volume constraints

Electronic differential system opens new possibilities to control the torque and speed differences at each individual wheels

New possibilities in controlling the vehicle dynamics:

Longitudinal dynamics: antiskid and anti lock braking (ABS) systems

Lateral dynamics: extended electronic stability program

Inconvenient

Using additional electronic systems

Reliability of the overall system?

Additional cost

Increasing system complexity

29

In-wheel motor concept

The concept of in-wheel motors minimizes or avoids completely the mechanical transmission by placing directly the motors inside the wheels

One distinguishes :

Inner in-wheel motors whose rotation speed is rather high and is reduced using a fixed gear ratio

Outer in-wheel motors whose rotation speed is low and that are connected in direct-drive

Both approaches generally use permanent magnet (PM) motors because of their high specific power.

Hybrid Electric Powertrain Architecture

39

Definitions

Definition of hybrid vehicle: vehicle equipped with a propulsion system that combines two or several energy sources, storages and converters.

Hybrid electric vehicle: a vehicle in which the propulsion energy is available from two or more types of energy stores, sources and converters, and at least one of them can deliver electrical energy (Chan, 2002) There are many kinds of HEV: petrol/diesel/CNG/H2 ICE & battery,

fuel cell & battery, battery & supercaps/flywheels…

Hybrid hydraulic vehicle: same as HEV but in this case one of the energy sources, storage and converters are hydraulic systems

40

Definitions

One also distinguish two basic configurations of the hybrid powertrain

In a parallel hybrid, both types of motorization are connected to the wheels and can propel the car independently or in combination.

Typically the fuel tank supplies the ICE while the batteries are the energy source for the electric motor.

In a series hybrid, the prime mover and its energy source are used to spin a generator that supplies electrical energy to either the batteries or directly the electric motor that is the only one to be geared with the wheels.

41

Parallel hybrid electric powertrains

TWO MODE TRACTION or PARALLEL HYBRID

The ICE powertrain is used outside of the cities while electric powertrain is more efficient for urban driving

Series hybrid electric powertrains

SERIE ELECTRIC POWERTRAIN

The ICE (piston engine or gas turbine) is used to power a generator that continuously feeds in batteries

The battery supplies the electric motor that is the only one to be connected to the wheels

43

Definitions

Other more complex configurations are possible (Chan, 2002)

The series-parallel configuration: both energy sources can propel the vehicle. Nonetheless the system is designed to allow recovering series architecture by inserting a generator between the ICE engine and the batteries.

The complex hybrid configuration extends also the couplings between the two kinds of propulsion chains. The more complex lay-out allows using the electric machine to receive from (generator mode) or to deliver (starter mode) energy to ICE engine.

Torque coupling: Two shaft configuration

In the parallel hybrid configuration, a classical option is to use two separate shafts, one for the e-motor and one for the engine.

The transmission and mechanical reduction components can be placed before or after the torque coupling device

45

Fig. 5.8 Eshani et al. (2010) Fig. 5.10 Eshani et al. (2010)

Torque coupling: single shaft configuration

46

In the parallel hybrid configuration, the alternative option is to have a single shaft mounting.

The drawback is that the e-motor and the engine rotation speed are linked.

Decoupling the engine and e-motor rotation speeds requires clutches

Fig. 5.12 Eshani et al. (2010)Fig. 5.11 Eshani et al. (2010)

Torque coupling: separated axles

47

A third alternative option is to use the road as the mechanical coupling. Each motor is placed on a different axle.

The drawback if that coupling efficiency is impacted by the road tire efficiency.

The advantage is that one gets a all-wheel drive vehicle for free…

Fig. 5.13 Eshani et al. (2010)

Speed coupling: planetary gear

48

Among the complex coupling architectures, the torque coupling using a planetary gear train is the most famous one.

The difficulty lies in the complex algorithm necessary to deal with the rotation speed constraint between the three input / output velocities

51

Finally it is also possible to use non mechanical devices to realize the speed coupling.

Transmotors are typically used to perform this task.

Key components of electric and hybrid electric vehicles

52

Key components of hybrid vehicles

The components of electric and hybrid vehicles are the following:

A prime mover, generally a internal combustion engine

An auxiliary power source: electric machines (generator / motor) or hydraulic motor/pump…

An storage system for the auxiliary energy : a battery pack, a fly wheel, or hydraulic accumulator…

Electronic Control Unit for power modulation of power source and converters: modulation of speed, torque, power…

Mechanical transmission and transfer box: mechanical system to connect the different motors to the wheels

Energy management unit (power electronic): optimization of energy flow…

53

Prime mover

The prime mover is the main energy source of the vehicle.

Most of the time the prime mover is an internal combustion engine, and often a piston engine.

Gasoline, diesel, CNG, H2 piston engine

High energy density of liquid fuel

High autonomy of ICE

Reliable technology, taking benefit of a century of continuous developments

55

Prime mover

In mid or long term, fuel cells could be the prime mover: Fast growing technology

Major issues: storage or on-board production of the fuel Reforming process

Retail and distribution network to be established

Problems still to be addressed : reliability, life time…

56

Electric machines

For hybrid electric vehicles, the secondary / auxiliary energy source is electricity.

The electric converters are reversible machines, working as motor or generators.

The electric machines used for HEV are very similar to those used in pure electric vehicles.

Remind that most popular electric traction machines are the following: DC series motors or separately excited DC machines

Evaluation of electric motor for HEV by Chan (2002)

Electric machines

The study conducted by Chan (2002) shows that induction machines and synchronous PM motors seems to be the most interesting technologies for hybrid electric vehicles.

The smaller cost of induction machines makes them the most suited choice for starter alternator used in integrated motor assist systems but also in Start & Stop systems.

The focus on hybrid vehicles rises a growing interest to electric machines and to an important research effort:

Ultra thin motors: e.g. electric IMA for Honda Insight

Permanent Magnet AC motors as in the new THSII of the Prius

Transmissions

For series hybrid vehicles, the wheels are only connected to the electric machine so that generally as in pure electric vehicle, there is no need for a gear box and a clutch.

When internal combustion engine is connected to the wheels as in parallel hybrid, then a clutch and a gear box are needed:

To allow the vehicle to start from rest

To allow the vehicle to stop without blocking the engine

To allow gear ratio change if a manual gear box is used

To adapt the rotation speed and the torque to the driving conditions to take benefit of the full power

The different types of transmission systems can be applied to hybrid vehicles

70

Transmissions

The transmissions with manual gear box have the best mechanical efficiency but they require some expertise of the user to reduce the fuel consumption.

The transmissions with automatic gear box are providing the best driving comfort, gear changes without power interruption to the wheels, they remain more complex and more expensive. Their mechanical efficiency is generally lower than manual gear box because of the hydraulic torque converter.

The continuous variable transmissions (CVT) are promising. They allow the engine working in rotation speed and torque conditions that are (nearly) independent of the speed and torque of the wheels. They are more expensive and heavier. They also lead to unusual working conditions for the driver.

Principle: use hydro kinetic energy of the fluid to transfer smoothly the power from the source to the load while amplifying the output torque

The input wheel plays the role of a pump whereas the output wheel acts as a turbine

CVT : Van Doorne System

Working principle

By modifying the distance between the two conical half shells, one modifies the effective radii of the pulleys and so the reduction ratio

Originally the system was based on the centrifugal forces, but nowadays the system is actuated by depression engines and controlled by microprocessors

PERFORMANCES

Variable reduction ratios varying between 4 to 6 are achieved

Variable efficiency variable with the input torque and the rotation speed

81

Differential system

During turn, the inner and outer wheels have different rotation speeds because of different radii.

Differential systems allow a different speed in left / right wheels while one single input torque

Energy storage and peak power source

The requirements on batteries and energy storage devices depend on the hybrid vehicle configuration.

For full hybrid, the energy storage capacity must be sufficiently large to level the energy demand and supply for the energy necessary to drive a given distance in pure electric mode (zero emission mode)

For mild hybrids, the energy storage can have a smaller capacity and sufficient to assist the prime mover when accelerating or recovering braking energy. However because of frequent fluctuation, the batteries plays more as peak power source and specific power has a greater influence

For both lay-out, the braking energy is a major factor of batteries sizing.

92

Energy storage and peak power source

As for electric vehicle, the following parameters have to be considered for battery selection:

Specific energy [Wh/kg]

Volumetric energy [Wh/m³]

Specific power [W/kg]

Energy efficiency: the ratio between output energy over input energy [%]

Self discharge rate: the time necessary to loose 20% of the state-of-charge

The life time in number of charge – discharge cycles

Control systems

Electronic control systems are of a primary importance in hybrid electric vehicles.

The hybrid management system is in charge of the strategy to minimize the fuel consumption and emissions while guaranteeing the best performances to the vehicle

One major issue is to maintain state-of-charge of the batteries and accumulators

Hybrid management system rules the energy flux between the different components and powertrains

97

Control systems

Besides the hybrid management system, one has the subordinated controllers that control the particular components

Electronic engine Control Unit (ECU) is in charge of engine management

Battery management System supervises the battery operations controlling the state-of-charge, current density, the cell temperature, etc.

The Electric Motor control units are the chopper or the inverter that carries out electric machine behavior
