Abstract-The need to improve fuel economy and reduce the emission of CO 2 and other harmful pollution from internalcombustion-engine vehicles has led to engine downsizing. However, downsized turbocharged engines exhibit a relatively low torque capability at low engine speeds. To overcome this problem, an electrical torque boost may be employed while accelerating and changing gear and to facilitate energy recovery during regenerative braking. This paper describes the operational requirements of a supercapacitor-based torque-boost system, outlines the design and sizing of the electrical drive-train components, and presents experimental characterization of a demonstrator system.

Investigation of Correlations between Driving Patterns and Power Demand of Auxiliary Devices Aboard Military Vehicles

“…The vehicle behaviour is then simulated considering both the Federal Test Procedure FTP-75 and the New European driving cycle (NEDC). The NEDC cycle is also applied by [9] to perform a downsizing strategy by reducing the energy consumption of an internal combustion engine combined with an electric motor powered by a super capacitor.…”

Voltage sag compensation at load side in armor fighting vehicles using ultra capacitor

“…Rapid interest in these kinds of proposals have undergone in recent research (Zhao and Burkea, 2021). Thus, this proposed idea of system has a distinguished feature of high voltage regulation and the same can be included and applied in an AFV (Wang et al , 2007; Attaianese et al , 2012; Burke, 2007).…”
