Automotive Electrification: The Nonhybrid Story

Abstract

The electrification of the automobile has a long history. Electric and hybrid vehicles are actually only a small part of it, albeit presently the most visible and the one getting the most attention in popular media. This paper will focus on the rest of the story, that is, aspects of transportation electrification other than hybrid or fully-electric propulsion systems. Recent progress (last 10-20 years) and current work on the electrification of road transport, from chassis to powertrains, will be reviewed with a focus on electromechanical systems. In the process, the numerous challenges engineers have overcome or have yet to solve will be highlighted, thus illustrating the many different ways electrical engineering is making its mark in providing more performant, more efficient, safer, and more pleasant means of personal transportation.

A Six Legs Buck-boost Interleaved Converter for KERS Application

“…Recently, the so-called starter-generator systems have been considered for vehicle powering in starting and generating functions. Their growth, both in rated power and control complexity, could improve the hybridization on all vehicles thanks to the reduction of the cost of power electronics and other related technologies [7]. Lately, the development of advanced storage systems as supercapacitors has strengthened to manage the energy exchange in extreme braking conditions [8,9,10].…”

Advanced Control Strategies to Improve Nonlinear Automotive Dynamical Systems Consumption

“…In recent years, in the automotive industry, the electric motors market has grown. The attention about the environment and the renewable energy has led to the electrification of road transport [1][2][3]. Nowadays, one of the challenges is the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions [4].…”

Endüstriyel Uygulamalarda Kullanılan Minyatür Fırçasız DA Motorların Tasarım Parametrelerinin Motor Performansına Etkisinin İncelenmesi

“…Elektrikli taşıtlarda elektrik motoru kullanımı, motor tasarımı ve analizi ile ilgili çalışmalar da mevcuttur. Lequesne otomobillerdeki yakıt, süspansiyon, direksiyon ve fren sistemlerinin elektromekanik uygulamalarını incelemiştir [4]. Ocak çalışmasında elektrikli araçlar için üç kademeli fırçasız DA motorunun tasarımı, analizi ve üretimi üzerine çalışmıştır.…”
