![]() | Energy Storage Scheme For Rail-Guided Shuttle Using Ultracapacitor And Battery
By R. Li, A. Pottharst, N. Froehleke, J. Boecker | |
Abstract: An energy storage system based on a combination of
batteries and ultracapacitors for rail-guided shuttle is
investigated. The control schemes according to the various
power requirements in shuttles and the differing characteristics
of these storage devices are proposed to manage the energy and
optimize the power supply system performance. The power
electronic converters connecting ultracapacitors, batteries and
DC-link are studied. Simulation and measured results are
presented, revealing that the separation of the dynamic load
from batteries yield improvements in lifecycle, availability and
long term costs and volume.

![]() | Simulation Methodologies For Innovative Vehicle Drive Systems
By Van Mierlo Joeri, Maggetto Gaston, Van Den Bossche Peter | |
Abstract: An overview of different methodologies for the
simulation of vehicle drive systems will be expounded. The
simulation tools are able to assess conventional vehicles with
an internal combustion engines as well as advanced vehicles
such electrical driven vehicles (EDV), like battery, hybrid
and fuel cell electric vehicles. Advantages and drawbacks of
the different approaches will be highlighted. Finally
comprehensive approach will be proposed.
Since years ago the automotive industry and several research
institutes have developed simulation models to evaluate
vehicle performance, fuel consumption and emissions. These
models are principally developed for internal combustion
engine vehicles. Furthermore several research institutes
have developed dedicated simulation models for special
applications or case studies of e.g. a specific hybrid dive
train.
In this paper an overview will be given of the different
approaches. The simulation methodologies will be compared
with VSP, Vehicle Simulation Programme, developed at the
Vrije Universiteit Brussel [1,2,3,4].

![]() | Stability Control System Of A Hybrid Electrical Vehicle With Independent Driving Wheels
By Remus Pusca, Youcef Ait-Amirat, Alain Berthon | |
Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present a new control algorithm
for improved the stability of a hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV) with
four independent driving wheels. The proposed system is designed
with three control levels assuring a hierarchical intervention in
concordance with detect symptoms using specific sensors. The
control system has an original algorithm which integrates the new
electromechanical devices: ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), ASR
(Anti-Slip Regulation) ESP (Electronic Stability Program). Several
simulations will be presented at the end of the paper in order to
assess the potential of such a system.
