Automated topology optimisation of hybrid electric vehicle powertrains
(Inderscience publishers, 2015-11-04)Gasoline and electric powertrain components can be connected in numerous configurations to create hybrid powertrains. Owing to the exponential increase of permutations as the number of components increases, a framework to ... -
A battery hardware-in-the-loop setup for concurrent design and evaluation of real-time optimal HEV power management controllers
(Inderscience publishers, 2013-11-03)We have developed a battery hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setup, which can expedite the design and evaluation of power management controllers for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in a novel cost- and time-effective manner. The ... -
Design and evaluation of a real-time fuel-optimal control system for series hybrid electric vehicles
(Inderscience publishers, 2012)We propose a real-time optimal controller that will reduce fuel consumption in a series hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). This real-time drive cycle-independent controller is designed using a control-oriented model and ... -
Mechanical and Regenerative Braking Integration for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-27)Hybrid electric vehicle technology has become a preferred method for the automotive industry to reduce environmental impact and fuel consumption of their vehicles. Hybrid electric vehicles accomplish these reductions ... -
Multidisciplinary Optimization of Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Component Sizing and Power Management Logic
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-16)A survey of the existing literature indicates that optimization on the power management logic of hybrid electric vehicle is mostly performed after the design of the powertrain architecture or the power source components ... -
Numerical modeling and experimental investigation of a prismatic battery subjected to water cooling
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-03-19)In this paper, a numerical model using ANSYS Fluent for a minichannel cold plate is developed for water-cooled LiFePO4 battery. The temperature and velocity distributions are investigated using experimental and computational ...
