Power-train control and design for a stable and driveable hybrid electric vehicle

摘要

The price of oil has been increasing since the oil crisis of 1970. Indeed oil, oftenimported, lies at the heart of the transportation industries of the richest countries inthe world (this earth). In the transportation industry there are vehicles (cars andtrucks), which use large quantities of fuel (oil), which in turn produce pollutants(CO, CO2, NOx ...). These pollutants constitute an additive problem ofenvironmental pollution, which today is reaching a level, which threatens theclimate of the planet. This document will focus on the hybrid electrical vehicle(HEV), in particular a four-wheel drive vehicle. The work carried out in thisresearch is essentially power-train control, with the development of a power-traincontroller platform. This platform can be ’plugged’ into different HEV power-trains.The outcome of the simulation results shows that the developed platform needs tobe re-configured properly for each power-train for satisfactory simulation results ofthe flow of the power and the vehicle handling. The main topics in this thesis areHEV, design, modelling and control.
