Abstract

Designing a hybrid drive train implies, that choices have to be made regarding the drive train structure, component technologies, and - sizes. Designing an appropriate Energy Management Strategy (EMS), that facilitates the usage of the chosen components and drive train structure to its best performance is complementary to the overall design problem. Due to the complexity of hybrid vehicle drive trains, the design of topologies, component technologies, and the control strategy forms a considerable challenge for engineers. This paper presents a modeling and design approach in characterizing the component technologies, determining the optimal degree-of-hybridization for the drive train, and designing the control strategy of a hybrid drivetrain for passenger cars.
