| Abstract |
This paper describes the modelling and control system design of an integrated electric drive train for a
flywheel powered ultra light rail bus. The vehicle is developed to provide an alternative means of
transportation for an inner city area in order to reduce air pollution and traffic congestion. Brushless
permanent magnet machine drive technology is chosen to maximise energy and volumetric
efficiencies of the drive train. The modelling of key elements and their interaction in the system are
highlighted. A co-ordinated control strategy to regulate the power flow balance is proposed, and its
design detail presented. The validity and effectiveness of the control and design methodology have
been confirmed by computer simulation and will be demonstrated on a prototype vehicle. |
