| Abstract |
The instantaneous power demand of a typical city bus can differ by a factor of 3 to 5 from the average power, especially while braking or accelerating. Only the average power demand of the bus needs to be supplied if a power buffer
can be used. Furthermore, the emission of noise, polluting gases and particles can be greatly reduced. Using a fast-spinning flywheel for such a buffer offers several advantages compared to e.g. a battery pack. The paper describes the architecture
of the hybrid electrical drive and first results with the control system. |
