“…In an electric hybrid vehicle, energy is normally stored either in a battery or in an electric doublelayer capacitor (often known as an 'ultra-capacitor'). 55 A battery stores energy chemically, whereas a capacitor (or ultra-capacitor) stores energy through charge separation. Batteries tend to have high specific energies, while capacitors have comparatively higher specific powers and lower specific energies.…”

One way to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of heavy vehicles is to install regenerative braking systems. These capture the kinetic energy of the vehicle during braking and store it, in order to feed it back into the drivetrain during acceleration. It is not clear, however, which of the many available technologies should be used to implement this regenerative braking. This report explores the different possible energy capture and storage technologies for regenerative braking, including electrical, kinetic, hydraulic and compressed air. The basic systems are plotted on a selection chart, and an optimal selection methodology is used to aid in the selection of the lightest and smallest system for regenerative braking. The results of this comparison and selection show that hydraulic energy storage is likely to be 33% smaller and 20% lighter than the closest electrical counterparts and is therefore a logical selection for regenerative braking on the trailers of heavy goods vehicles.

“…Of the most common hybrid configurations (series, parallel, power‐split and srigear configurations 31), the series configuration has been chosen, as conceptually it is the simplest for studying the propulsion system components on an individual basis. Moreover, from a technical point of view, this configuration enables an exact control of the power transfer to be had at any instant so its operation can be optimised for ultra‐low petrol consumptions or even zero if circumstances require this.…”

The application of silicon carbide (SiC) devices as battery interface, motor controller, etc., in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) will be beneficial due to their high-temperature capability, high-power density, and high efficiency. Moreover, the light weight and small volume will affect the whole powertrain system in a HEV and, thus, the performance and cost. In this paper, the performance of HEVs is analyzed using the vehicle simulation software Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT). Power loss models of a SiC inverter based on the test results of latest SiC devices are incorporated into PSAT powertrain models in order to study the impact of SiC devices on HEVs from a system standpoint and give a direct correlation between the inverter efficiency and weight and the vehicle's fuel economy. Two types of HEVs are considered. One is the 2004 Toyota Prius HEV, and the other is a plug-in HEV (PHEV), whose powertrain architecture is the same as that of the 2004 Toyota Prius HEV. The vehicle-level benefits from the introduction of SiC devices are demonstrated by simulations. Not only the power loss in the motor controller but also those in other components in the vehicle powertrain are reduced. As a result, the system efficiency is improved, and vehicles that incorporate SiC power electronics are predicted to consume less energy and have lower emissions and improved system compactness with a simplified thermal management system. For the PHEV, the benefits are even more distinct; in particular, the size of the battery bank can be reduced for optimum design.Index Terms-Efficiency, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), inverter, plug-in HEV (PHEV), Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT), silicon carbide (SiC).
