| Abstract |
In this paper a comparison between different types of electric drives for a
hybrid vehicle is presented. It has been investigated how to choose the voltage of the drive for maximum efficiency. Assuming fixed battery weight and nominal power of the electric machine, the battery voltage can be varied. The effects of designing the electric
driveline for different battery voltages on the appearing energy losses have been examined by simulation. In this paper the simulation models of the induction motor, MOSFET and IGBT-inverter and NiCad-battery are presented. The results of a comparison of two
alternative electric drive systems are shown. |
