Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuel cells have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for fuel-efficient and emission-free vehicle power generation. Fuel cells are typically paired with reversible energy storage devices such as batteries or ultracapacitors to create hybrid electric powertrains. The electrification of the propulsion system and the presence of multiple onboard power sources require optimization of the hybrid system design in order to achieve good performance, high fuel economy, and enhanced component life at low cost. The overall goal of this research is to develop accurate vehicle models and conduct simulations to explore and demonstrate improvements in a fuel cell/battery hybrid bus. The first part of this thesis presents the features incorporated to improve a hybrid powertrain simulation package called Light, Fast and Modifiable (LFM). The improved LFM simulator was validated against test data acquired from various sensors onboard UD's Phase 1 fuel cell bus, and shown to be a reliable tool to simulate hybrid powertrain performance which could be used to perform design and optimization studies of future fuel cell hybrid systems. This attribute of LFM was then demonstrated by optimizing the fuel cell/battery hybrid power management by introducing a new prediction-based power management strategy. Simulation results for this strategy showed significant improvements in fuel cell system efficiency and reduction in hydrogen consumption compared to a conventional, baseline strategy of charge sustenance. A stable power request which promotes fuel cell durability was also realized with the help of this novel strategy. Finally, the benefits predicted from simulation studies were confirmed through implementation of the proposed strategy in the Phase 1 fuel cell/battery hybrid bus. It was concluded that the prediction-based strategy will lead to energy savings for transit applications. The validated LFM tool was next used to evaluate one approach to reducing battery stress by adding an ultracapacitor module, and thereby enhancing battery lifetime. Simulation of the energy storage performance showed a substantial reduction in battery current-load and energy throughput for the blended storage system, which are two of the contributing factors towards battery degradation. These results have opened up new research directions in which powertrain simulations can help in further evaluation of the blended storage concept and assess its feasibility and usefulness in electric-drive vehicles. Finally, the thermal behavior of the Altairnano LiTi battery, the future battery of UD fuel cell buses, was investigated. Preliminary experiments were conducted to understand the thermal behavior of batteries under typical operating conditions. A model was developed to predict the temperature during charging and discharging of the battery. The findings of this work should prove useful in designing effective and efficient battery thermal management systems.

Book excerpt: With increasing oil price and mounting environment concerns, cleaner and sustainable energy solutions have been demanded. At present transportation constitutes a large portion of the energy consumed and pollution created. In this work, two hybrid vehicle powertrain technologies were studied, a fuel cell - battery hybrid and two internal combustion engine - battery/ultracapacitor hybrids. Powertrain performance models were built to simulate the performance of these new designs, and to assess the feasibility of a fuel cell hybrid power backup system for a special type of vehicles, elevators in high-rise buildings, using the ADvanced VehIcle SimulatOR (ADVISOR) first. The model was then applied to evaluate the two-mode hybrid powertrain for more common vehicles - commercial trucks, showing potential fuel consumption reduction. To improve modeling accuracy, a new and more flexible tool for modeling multi-physics systems, Modelica/Dymola, was used to carry out the modeling and analysis of next generation hybrid electric vehicles, exploring the potentials of new hybrid powertrain architectures and energy storage system designs. The study forms the foundation for further research and developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automobiles have played an important role in the shaping of the human civilization for over a century and continue to play a crucial role today. The design, construction, and performance of automobiles have evolved over the years. For many years, there has been a strong shift toward electrification of automobiles. It started with the by-wire systems where more efficient electro-mechanical subsystems started replacing purely mechanical devices, e.g., anti-lock brakes, drive-by-wire, and cruise control. Over the last decade, driven by a strong push for fuel efficiency, pollution reduction, and environmental stewardship, electric and hybrid electric vehicles have become quite popular. In fact, almost all the automobile manufacturers have adopted strategies and launched vehicle models that are electric and/or hybrid. With this shift in technology, employers have growing needs for new talent in areas such as energy storage and battery technology, power electronics, electric motor drives, embedded control systems, and integration of multi-disciplinary systems. To support these needs, universities are adjusting their programs to train students in these new areas of expertise. For electric and hybrid technology to deliver superior performance and efficiency, all sub-systems have to work seamlessly and in unison every time and all the time. To ensure this level of precision and reliability, modeling and simulation play crucial roles during the design and development cycle of electric and hybrid vehicles. Simscape, a Matlab/Simulink toolbox for modeling physical systems, is an ideally suited platform for developing and deploying models for systems and sub-systems that are critical for hybrid and electric vehicles. This text will focus on guiding the reader in the development of models for all critical areas of hybrid and electric vehicles. There are numerous texts on electric and hybrid vehicles in the market right now. A majority of these texts focus on the relevant technology and the physics and engineering of their operation. In contrast, this text focuses on the application of some of the theories in developing models of physical systems that are at the core of hybrid and electric vehicles. Simscape is the tool of choice for the development of these models. Relevant background and appropriate theory are referenced and summarized in the context of model development with significantly more emphasis on the model development procedure and obtaining usable and accurate results.

Download or read book Simulation and Optimization of a Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle written by Darren Brown and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research is to improve the design of a fuel cell battery hybrid vehicle through the use of an advanced vehicle powertrain simulator. The first part of this project involves the development of the simulation package from an existing MATLAB/Simulink based model. This model is modified and improved to more accurately simulate the real-world vehicle and also to allow for various parametric studies to be performed. The resulting simulation package is called Light, Fast, and Modifiable or LFM. Three different parametric studies are performed using the LFM simulation platform. The first involves vehicle design parameters. This experiment studies the effect of various vehicle parameters such as tire rolling resistance, vehicle mass, drag coefficient on vehicle performance. The second study involves hybrid control strategy parameters. The hybrid control strategy controls the flow of power between each of the power sources and is vital to proper vehicle performance. This experiment studies the effect of various scaling factors in the hybrid control strategy. The third parametric study involves the input drive cycle. A drive cycle is a speed vs. time data set that effectively "drives" the simulation. This experiment studies how different statistical quantities that describe a drive cycle (such as average speed, average acceleration, etc.) affect vehicle performance. Also using the LFM vehicle simulator, a new hybrid control strategy, called Drive Cycle Recognition (DCR), is developed and investigated. DCR involves classification of the current vehicle drive cycle (speed vs. time history) based on certain representative drive cycles. The identification is performed using the key statistical information explored in the drive cycle parametric study. It is shown that DCR can be used in a simulated environment to significantly improve upon the current strategy by addressing faults in the most sensitive parameters. Furthermore, a real world implementation of DCR on the University of Delaware Fuel Cell Bus shows that the current fuel cell configuration is undersized for the effective use of DCR. Finally, the LFM simulator is used to perform a Degree-of-Hybridization (DOH) analysis. This analysis involves experimenting with different balances between the power sources available in a hybrid vehicle. It is shown that an optimum balance exists for each driving style, but a significant compromise is needed to cover all driving styles the vehicle is likely to encounter.
