Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control systems have come to play an important role in the performance of modern vehicles with regards to meeting goals on low emissions and low fuel consumption. To achieve these goals, modeling, simulation, and analysis have become standard tools for the development of control systems in the automotive industry. Modeling and Control of Engines and Drivelines provides an up-to-date treatment of the topic from a clear perspective of systems engineering and control systems, which are at the core of vehicle design. This book has three main goals. The first is to provide a thorough understanding of component models as building blocks. It has therefore been important to provide measurements from real processes, to explain the underlying physics, to describe the modeling considerations, and to validate the resulting models experimentally. Second, the authors show how the models are used in the current design of control and diagnosis systems. These system designs are never used in isolation, so the third goal is to provide a complete setting for system integration and evaluation, including complete vehicle models together with actual requirements and driving cycle analysis. Key features: Covers signals, systems, and control in modern vehicles Covers the basic dynamics of internal combustion engines and drivelines Provides a set of standard models and includes examples and case studies Covers turbo- and super-charging, and automotive dependability and diagnosis Accompanied by a web site hosting example models and problems and solutions Modeling and Control of Engines and Drivelines is a comprehensive reference for graduate students and the authors’ close collaboration with the automotive industry ensures that the knowledge and skills that practicing engineers need when analysing and developing new powertrain systems are also covered.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Reducing vehicle fuel consumption while maintaining same or better performance characteristics has been one of the main focuses of auto car manufacturers. In this sense, OEMs are introducing thermal management system (TMS) in modern vehicles that help attain rapid fluid warm-up during cold-start conditions. This leads to lower fluid viscosities early on in a drive cycle and hence reduced losses in the engine and powertrain components, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Rapid fluid warm-up also helps improve passenger comfort by providing necessary heating or cooling on demand. Through this work, a model characterizing the low frequency energy and power transfer in the engine and powertrain components is formulated. An advanced TMS consisting of components for waste heat energy recovery is proposed and its model is formulated. The combined set of these models is called the Vehicle Energy Simulator (VES). The model is thoroughly calibrated and validated using experimental data from steady state and transient testing; results are included in detail. The validated VES is then used to investigate control strategies for valves that are part of the TMS, used to control fluid flow to the various heat exchangers in order to attain rapid warm-up of coolant, engine oil and transmission fluid. It is seen that, the use of advanced TMS, over a conventional thermal management system, results in 3.4% reduction in fuel consumption. The investigation leads to recommendation of a reasonable first generation for a genetic algorithm optimization to be used to find the "optimal trajectory" for thermal-system-valve actuation during a drive cycle for reducing fuel consumption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The powertrain is at the heart of vehicle design; the engine – whether it is a conventional, hybrid or electric design – provides the motive power, which is then managed and controlled through the transmission and final drive components. The overall powertrain system therefore defines the dynamic performance and character of the vehicle. The design of the powertrain has conventionally been tackled by analyzing each of the subsystems individually and the individual components, for example, engine, transmission and driveline have received considerable attention in textbooks over the past decades. The key theme of this book is to take a systems approach – to look at the integration of the components so that the whole powertrain system meets the demands of overall energy efficiency and good drivability. Vehicle Powertrain Systems provides a thorough description and analysis of all the powertrain components and then treats them together so that the overall performance of the vehicle can be understood and calculated. The text is well supported by practical problems and worked examples. Extensive use is made of the MATLAB(R) software and many example programmes for vehicle calculations are provided in the text. Key features: Structured approach to explaining the fundamentals of powertrain engineering Integration of powertrain components into overall vehicle design Emphasis on practical vehicle design issues Extensive use of practical problems and worked examples Provision of MATLAB(R) programmes for the reader to use in vehicle performance calculations This comprehensive and integrated analysis of vehicle powertrain engineering provides an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate automotive engineering students and is a useful reference for practicing engineers in the vehicle industry

Download or read book Comprehensive Model based Design and Analysis Approach for Thermal Management Systems in Hybridized Vehicles written by Joshua Kurtis Carroll and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research effort focuses on thermal management system (TMS) design for a high-performance, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). The thermal performance for various components in an electrified powertrain is investigated using a 3D finite difference model for a complete vehicle system, including inherently temperature-sensitive components. The components include the electric motor (EM), power electronics, Energy Storage System (ESS), and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). A model-based design approach is utilized, where a combination of experimental work and simulation are integrated. After defining heat sources and heat sinks within the power train system, temporal and spatial boundary conditions were extracted experimentally to facilitate the 3D simulation under different road-load scenarios. Material properties, surface conditions, and environmental factors were defined for the geometrical surface mesh representation of the system. Meanwhile the finite differencing code handles the heat transfer phenomena via conduction and radiation, all convective heat transfer mode within the powertrain are defined using fluid nodes and fluid streams within the powertrain. Conclusions are drawn through correlating experimental results to the outcome from the thermal model. The outcome from this research effort is a 3D thermal performance predictive tool that can be utilized in order to evaluate the design of advanced thermal management systems (TMSs) for alternative powertrains in early design/concept stages of the development process. For future work, it is recommended that a full validation of the 3D thermal model be completed. Subsequently, design improvements can be made to the TMS. Some possible improvements include analysis and evaluation of shielding of the catalytic converter, exhaust manifold, and power electronics, as well as substituting for material with better thermal performance in other temperature-sensitive components, where applicable. The result of this improvement in design would be achieving an effective TMS for a high-performance PHEV.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last century, the automotive industry has been dominated by internal combustion engines. Their flexibility of application, driving range, performance and sporty characteristics has resulted in several generations of this technology and has formed generations of engineers. But that is not the end of the story. Stricter legislation and increased environmental awareness have resulted in the development of new powertrain technologies in addition and parallel to the highly optimized internal combustion engine. Hybrid powertrains systems, pure battery electric systems and fuel cell systems, in conjunction with a diverse range of applications, have increased the spectrum of powertrain technologies. Furthermore, automated driving together with intelligent and highly connected systems are changing the way to get from A to B. Not only is the interaction of all these new technologies challenging, but also several different disciplines have to collaborate intensively in order for new powertrain systems to be successfully developed. These new technologies and the resulting challenges lead to an increase in system complexity. Approaches such as systems engineering are necessary to manage this complexity. To show how systems engineering manages the increasing complexity of modern powertrain systems, by providing processes, methods, organizational aspects and tools, this book has been structured into five parts. Starting with Challenges for Powertrain Development, which describes automotive-related challenges at different levels of the system hierarchy and from different point of views. The book then continues with the core part, Systems Engineering, in which all the basics of systems engineering, model-based systems engineering, and their related processes, methods, tools, and organizational matters are described. A special focus is placed on important standards and the human factor. The third part, Automotive Powertrain Systems Engineering Approach, puts the fundamentals of systems engineering into practice by adding the automotive context. This part focuses on system development and also considers the interactions to hardware and software development. Several approaches and methods are presented based on systems engineering philosophy. Part four, Powertrain Development Case Studies, adds the practical point of view by providing a range of case studies on powertrain system level and on powertrain element level and discusses the development of hybrid powertrain, internal combustion engines, e-drives, transmissions, batteries and fuel cell systems. Two case studies on a vehicle level are also presented. The final part, Outlook, considers the development of systems engineering itself with particular focus on information communication technologies. Even though this book covers systems engineering from an automotive perspective, many of the challenges, fundamental principles, conclusions and outlooks can be applied to other domains too. Therefore, this book is not only relevant for automotive engineers and students, but also for specialists in scientific and industrial positions in other domains and anyone who has to cope with the challenge of successfully developing complex systems with a large number of collaborating disciplines.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : Integrated thermal energy management across system level components in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is currently an under explored space. The proliferation of connected vehicles and accompanying infrastructure in recent years provides additional motivation to explore opportunities in optimizing thermal energy management in EVs and HEVs with the help of this newly available connected vehicle data. This thesis aims to examine and analyze the potential to mitigate vehicle energy consumption and extend usable driving range through optimal control strategies which exploit physical system dynamics via controls integration of vehicle subsystems. In this study, data-driven and physics-based models for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) are developed and utilized along with the vehicle dynamics and powertrain (VD\&PT) models for a GM Chevrolet Volt hybrid electric vehicle to enable co-optimization of HVAC and VD\&PT systems of HEVs. The information available in connected vehicles like driver schedules, trip duration and ambient conditions is leveraged along with the vehicle system dynamics to predict operating conditions of the vehicle under study. All this information is utilized to optimize the operation of an integrated HVAC and VD\&PT system in a hybrid electric vehicle to achieve the goal of reduced energy consumption. For achieving the goals outlined for this thesis, an integrated HVAC and VD\&PT model is developed and the various components, sub-systems and systems are validated against real world test data. Then, integrated relationships relevant to the thermal dynamics of an HEV are established. These relationships comprise the combined operational characteristics of the internal combustion (IC) engine coolant and the cabin electric heater for cabin heating, coordinated controls of IC engine using engine coolant and catalyst temperatures for cabin thermal conditioning in cold ambient conditions and the combined operational characteristics of the air-conditioning compressor for conditioning both cabin and high-voltage battery in an HEV. Next, these sub-system and system relationships are used to evaluate potential energy savings in cabin heating and cooling when vehicle's operating schedule is known. Finally, an optimization study is conducted to establish an energy efficient control strategy which maximizes the HVAC energy efficiency whilst maintaining occupant comfort levels according to ASHRAE standards, all while improving the usable range of the vehicle relative to its baseline calibration. The mean energy savings in overall vehicle energy consumption using an integrated HVAC - Powertrain control strategy and a coordinated thermal management strategy proposed in this work are $3$\% and $14$\% respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigates the design and implementation of a light-duty truck's thermal management system control strategy developed from model-based techniques. To give robust durability and improve fuel economy, the control strategy must stabilize the dynamics of the engine operating temperatures, while also minimizing the energy consumed by the system. First, a detailed plant model is obtained by applying first principle physics (conservation laws) to model the thermal management system from its key components. The component models are combined to accurately predict the flow rates and temperatures of the system. The thermal system model is fed by a vehicle drivetrain mechanical model that calculates the heat rejection to the thermal model through a backward-looking approach. The nonlinear model is calibrated on supplier data and validated using experimental data recorded by a vehicle data acquisition system. Information from the engine control unit, flow rates, and temperatures were previously recorded for various driving profiles while the vehicle operated on a chassis dynamometer according to standard test procedure. The model accurately predicts the temperature dynamics of the system during transient operations of fully-warm drive cycles. Specifically, the Environmental Protection Agency's Federal Test Procedure for a highway drive cycle was used to test the model validity. The validated model provides a benchmark for comparing new controllers to the baseline thermal management control.
