Book Neural Network Control of a Parallel Hybrid electric Propulsion System for a Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Download or read book Neural Network Control of a Parallel Hybrid electric Propulsion System for a Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle written by Frederick G. Harmon and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parallel hybrid-electric propulsion systems would be beneficial for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used for military, homeland security, and disaster monitoring missions involving intelligence, surveillance, or reconnaissance (ISR). The benefits include increased time-on-station and range than electric-powered UAVs and stealth modes not available with gasoline-powered UAVs. A conceptual design of a small UAV with a parallel hybrid-electric propulsion system, an optimization routine for the energy use, the application of a neural network to approximate the optimization results, and simulation results are provided. The two-point conceptual design includes an internal combustion engine sized for cruise and an electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack sized for endurance speed. The flexible optimization routine allows relative importance to be assigned between the use of gasoline, electricity, and recharging. The Cerebellar Model Arithmetic Computer (CMAC) neural network approximates the optimization results and is applied to the control of the parallel hybrid-electric propulsion system. The CMAC controller saves on the required memory compared to a large look-up table by two orders of magnitude. The energy use for the hybrid-electric UAV with the CMAC controller during a one-hour and a three-hour ISR mission is 58% and 27% less, respectively, than for a gasoline-powered UAV.

Book Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Download or read book Electric and Hybrid Vehicles written by Gianfranco Pistoia and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-27 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Power Sources, Models, Sustainability, Infrastructure and the Market reviews the performance, cost, safety, and sustainability of battery systems for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs), including nickel-metal hydride batteries and Li-ion batteries. Throughout this book, especially in the first chapters, alternative vehicles with different power trains are compared in terms of lifetime cost, fuel consumption, and environmental impact. The emissions of greenhouse gases are particularly dealt with. The improvement of the battery, or fuel cell, performance and governmental incentives will play a fundamental role in determining how far and how substantial alternative vehicles will penetrate into the market. An adequate recharging infrastructure is of paramount importance for the diffusion of vehicles powered by batteries and fuel cells, as it may contribute to overcome the so-called range anxiety."" Thus, proposed battery charging techniques are summarized and hydrogen refueling stations are described. The final chapter reviews the state of the art of the current models of hybrid and electric vehicles along with the powertrain solutions adopted by the major automakers. - Contributions from the worlds leading industry and research experts - Executive summaries of specific case studies - Information on basic research and application approaches

Book Industrial Applications of Batteries

Download or read book Industrial Applications of Batteries written by Michel Broussely and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-02-13 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Applications of Batteries looks at both the applications and the batteries and covers the relevant scientific and technological features. Presenting large batteries for stationary applications, e.g. energy storage, and also batteries for hybrid vehicles or different tools. The important aerospace field is covered both in connection with satellites and space missions. Examples of applications include, telecommunications, uninterruptible power supplies, systems for safety/alarms, car accessories, toll collection, asset tracking systems, medical equipment, and oil drilling.The first chapter on applications deals with electric and hybrid vehicles. Four chapters are devoted to stationary applications, i.e. energy storage (from the electric grid or solar/wind energy), load levelling, telecommunications, uninterruptible power supplies, back-up for safety/alarms. Battery management by intelligent systems and prediction of battery life are dealt with in a dedicated chapter. The topic of used battery collection and recycling, with the description of specific treatments for the different systems, is also extensively treated in view of its environmental relevance. Finally, the world market of these batteries is presented, with detailed figures for the various applications.* Updated and full overview of the power sources for industries* Written by leading scientists in their fields * Well balanced in terms of scientific and technical information
