   42v Hybrid Power Source For Automotive Applications
By Jean-Noel Marie-Francoise, Hamid Gualous, Alain Berthon [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper will present a 42V hybrid power source for automotive auxiliary on-board applications. For energy storage, a pack of ultracapacitors is used in parallel with batteries. The mathematical models of batteries and ultracapacitors will be developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK®. An experimental 1 kW power test bench has been designed, where the current and the voltage are controlled by a microcontroller. Simulation results and experimental tests will validate the proposed methodology.

   A Novel Multi-Input Power Electronic Converter For Automotive Applications
By Alessandro Lidozzi, Manlio Pasquali, Angelo Puccetti, Marco Santoro, Luca Solero [View]
[Download]

Abstract: The paper describes design and testing of a novel Multi Input Power Electronic Converter (MIPEC) which is able to feed a traction drive from three different power sources. The converter has been tested in a vehicle provided with a fuel cell, batteries, ultra capacitors and an induction motor. The layout of the device and the more interesting experimental results are presented.

   Intelligent Control And Diagnostics System For Tallinn Trams
By Argo Rosin, Madis Lehtla, Taavi Moeller [View]
[Download]

Abstract: The modernization project of trams in Tallinn started in 1997. The main reason to start this project was a poor technical condition of electrical equipment on trams. The project was started by measuring tram drives load and efficiency in real traffic conditions. During the second stage, a new intelligent traction drive, economically feasible for Tallinn trams was developed (in 2000). During the third stage (started 2002), an intelligent diagnostic system will be developed. This paper reviews research and development of a new intelligent control and diagnostic system. System operation modes and their diagnostic possibilities and methods were studied during the software development. Although the new system has shown good reliability, diagnostics and information systems will be an important issue in the future. In view of the increasing complexity of tram equipment, the diagnostics has become exceedingly important. To provide safe protection for the equipment and indication, in storage and evaluation of faults, one of the most important functions is the rapid pinpointing of defective systems, devices or components.
