vehicle
The ramp up time is shorter which means which means acceleration time is less and
constant power up to maximum speed
The torque produced is much higher than other motors and has higher performance
characteristics
Power and energy requirement from the propulsion unit is determined from a given
set of vehicle cruising and acceleration specifications
Traction and braking are achieved due to slip ratio on the wheel
For an HEV powertrain can be generally smaller due to the nature of electric motor
used. The power splitting or combining is managed by vehicle control to maximize
fuel economy and performance
Rating of a powertrain can be determined using the vehicle data and design
requirements
where d=(Ft-Fw)/Mg, which is called the vehicle performance factor , and fr is the tire rolling
resistance coefficient and Ft is the tractive effort on the driven wheels, Fr is the tire rolling
resistance, and Fw is the aerodynamic drag
Design Example
Mass of the vehicle =1500 kg
Frontal area = 2.2 m2
Coefficient of Drag = 0.3 (assumption)
Coefficient of rolling resistance = 0.08(assumption)
Density of air = 1.18 kg/m3
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
Acceleration time from 0 to 60mph = 10 sec
C1 - Coefficient of rolling resistance = 1.6*10-6
Velocity function
v(t) = 0.29055t2
FTR = FA + FAD + FROLL
FTR = m*(dv/dt) + (0.5*CD*AF* *V2) + (m*g(C0 + (C1* V2))
m Mass of the vehicle in kg
dv/dt = d(0.29055t2)/dt = 0.5811t
