Consumption Comparison Of Different Modes Of Operation Of A Hybrid Vehicle At Kuwait
Abstract
In this paper an analysis is presented which illustrates
the comparison for three modes of operation namely all
mechanical, all electrical and the hybrid mode for a hybrid
vehicle for the conditions of Kuwait. The performance evaluates
results in the possibility of avoiding costly field tests and the
specific analyses might yield useful rules regarding a control
system fitted in the vehicle to obtain the optimum mode
according to road conditions. A test rig representing a hybrid
system comprising of an engine unit coupled with a hydraulic
dynamometer, a D.C. series motor serving as torque, an
alternator and a battery pack of 10 lead-acid batteries had been
used for the performance analysis. The planetary gear drive was
incorporated in the transmission in order to have a continuously
variable transmission and the possibility of charging the
batteries.
