MASTER's THESIS Automotive Hybrid Technology 2008:217 CIV MASTER'S THESIS Automotive Hybrid Technology Status, Function and Development Tools Gustaf Lagunoff Luleå University of Technology MSc Programmes in Engineering Mechanical Engineering Department of Applied Physics and Mechanical Engineering Division of Machine Elements 2008:217 CIV - ISSN: 1402-1617 - ISRN: LTU-EX--08/217--SE Abstract A diminishing oil reserve and increased environmental concern puts new demands on our vehicles. This thesis aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a conventional vehicle and explain the technology behind. Alternative energy sources are introduced and together with the knowledge learnt, their potentials are discussed. Unfortunately, none of them can be found to fulfil all future demands. Instead, hybrid vehicles are identified as a solution with high potential. Hybrid vehicles are consequently defined and the additional components are explained. The multiple energy sources of a hybrid vehicle bring increased drivetrain flexibility but also increased control complexity. With the goal to enhance the fuel economy and reduce emissions, optimum operating conditions are discussed for each drivetrain component and concrete control targets are extracted. Due to the complexity, computer modelling and simulation are expected to be an essential tool when it comes to hybrid vehicle development and optimization. As a result, cost efficient component models are suggested and finally a number of control optimization procedures are compared. The result of this thesis is a summary of relevant knowledge needed to reduce the development effort of hybrid vehicles. The key aspect is to understand the synergy effect of a hybrid drive train which enables the designer to approach the full potential of each component. [i] Acknowledgements It is funny, even though this thesis is the end of a long journey for me; it feels like the subject itself is the beginning of something new. I am very grateful for my time at Luleå University of Technology and I still hope that every day ahead gives me the opportunity to learn something new. I would like to thank senior teacher Elisabet Kassfeldt at LTU for her support on all levels and Professor Björn Kjellström at LTU for his feedback regarding internal combustion engines. From Haldex I would like to thank my supervisor Andreas Lindin for his support and department director Daniel Hervén for his support and for the opportunity to work with Haldex in the first place. Finally, many many thanks to my family for their pep ups and support throughout all of my education and a special thanks to my dear friend David Wiberg for his more or less constructive opinions.

Introduction This thesis is intended as a compilation of relevant knowledge to act as an incentive and basis for hybrid vehicle design and development. It consists of, among other things; the background and current status of hybrid vehicle technology as well as the fundamentals of important components. The text aims to be interesting and instructive to a wide range of readers and the main goal is to enlighten the potential and synergy-behavior of a hybrid vehicle drivetrain. 1.1 Problem framing If you are reading this text you have probably not missed the increased environmental concern and the lively debate regarding the increased oil price the last couple of years. On top of that, when the world’s largest oil consumer, i.e. the USA, reduces its car use by 5.4 % in August 2008 compared to the last year, it is evident that something is happening in the world of transport [Teknikens Värld]. In the end it all comes down to one thing, supply and demand. It is widely accepted that our crude oil resources will start to fall in a couple of years [EIA] while the total need for personal and freight transportation most likely will not. The result, all according to the supply and demand relationship, will keep on pushing the oil prices upwards. At the moment (2008-11-17) we are in the middle of a world-wide recession of the business cycle which in addition has hit the automotive industry especially hard. Together with a strengthened dollar, the oil price has dropped again [OPEC] but in the long term, supply and demand will rule. Extended to the next step, and as mentioned already noticed as a drop in US car use, the reaction to the increased transportation costs are strong and new alternatives are immediately sought for [Teknikens Värld]. Furthermore, as a reaction to proof of man kinds negative effect on the environment (which will be mentioned again later), an increased environmental interest has aroused worldwide [Johansson]. Due to the contribution from light and heavy vehicles, new legislation and emission targets are constituted around the world to limit our bad influence. As a result, new and tougher demands are put on vehicle manufacturers and in the end the customer. Once again ruled by supply and demand the new emission targets will, together with the diminishing fossil fuel reserve, act as a catalyst in the automotive industry and open new doors. There are many ways to reduce the use of fossil fuel and methods available to try and reach stringent emission demands. However, none of them offers a single solution to all problems. Instead it can be expected to be a combination of a few technical enhancements and energy sources etc. but one of those doors contains hybrid vehicle technology… [1] 1.2 Objectives The objective of this thesis can be divided into three parts, beginning with some useful information about the powers of the automotive industry together with a brief look at concerned parts of the environmental situation. By presenting the wide picture coupled with a concrete problem framing the reader is encouraged to gain interest in the challenging future of vehicle technology. The second part is devoted to the coherence and functionality of vehicular drivetrain components. Based on the drawbacks of a conventional vehicle and the general goals, this part tries to define, explain and compare alternative and enhanced technical solutions. From and including the latter half, the content is pervaded by the core subject, i.e. hybrid technology and hybrid electric vehicles in particular. Part three is aimed at applying the gathered knowledge into a future design process and exemplifies how it can be done in an effort-efficient way. Computer modeling and computer assisted control optimization is identified as powerful resources and an approach is suggested. Furthermore, some parts are directly intended to act as useful development tools related to the “Haldex eBAX” which is an internal hybrid vehicle project within the Haldex Traction AB corporation. [2] 1.3 Driving forces The main driving forces behind the development of hybrid vehicle technology, and hence this thesis, have already been briefly mentioned but let us take a closer look. 1.3.1 The oil price The oil price is governed by a number of geological, financial and political parameters etc. which nature is not in the scope of this thesis. Instead, a more important question is: how has the oil price changed throughout time and does it affect the automotive industry?

Here, we report small signal, low frequency capacitance and parallel resistance data measured as a function of applied DC bias, polarization versus applied electric field strength and DC load/unload experiments. These capacitors exhibited significant leakage (in the range 8–210 μA/cm2) and dielectric loss. Measured breakdown strength for the sputtered doped barium titanate films was in the range 200 kV/cm −2 MV/cm. For all devices tested, we observed clear evidence for dielectric saturation at applied electric field strengths above 100 kV/cm: saturated polarization was in the range 8–15 μC/cm2.

  • Prospects for the Development of High Energy Density Dielectric Capacitors
    applied sciences Review Prospects for the Development of High Energy Density Dielectric Capacitors Andrew Burke Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this paper, the design of high energy density dielectric capacitors for energy storage in vehicle, industrial, and electric utility applications have been considered in detail. The performance of these devices depends primarily on the dielectric constant and breakdown strength characteristics of the dielectric material used. A review of the literature on composite polymer materials to assess their present dielectric constants and the various approaches being pursued to increase energy density found that there are many papers in which materials having dielectric constants of 20–50 were reported, but only a few showing materials with very high dielectric constants of 500 and greater. The very high dielectric constants were usually achieved with nanoscale metallic or carbon particles embedded in a host polymer and the maximum dielectric constant occurred near the percolation threshold particle loading. In this study, an analytical method to calculate the dielectric constant of composite dielectric polymers with various types of nanoparticles embedded is presented. The method was applied using an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the characteristics of spiral wound battery cells using various composite polymers with embedded particles. The calculated energy densities were strong functions of the size of the particles and thickness of the dielectric layer in the cell. For a 1000 V cell, an energy density of 100–200 Wh/kg was calculated for 3–5 nm particles and µ 3–5 thick dielectric layers.
