HYBRID TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING SERVICES BY FEV Contents and Introduction Optimization of Hybrid Concepts through Simulation Dear Reader, Mobility is one important factor for economic prosperity and growth; however, it is dependent upon the price of fuel. The global political and environmental situation has a significant influence on the price consumers pay for fuel. Optimal Engine Configuration N Engine Concept N Geometrical Data Optimal Configuration of Electric Machine N Machine Type N Power Optimal Configuration of Transmission N Transmission Type N Gear Ratios FEV’s simulation models of various hybrid powertrain configurations provide a detailed analysis of the interaction between powertrain components and improve the understanding of engine and component characteristics. Improving the efficiency of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines decreases our dependency on these factors. Hybrid vehicle drivetrains can significantly contribute to improving motor vehicle efficiency. This brochure contains descriptions of Engineering Services offered by FEV in the field of hybrid drivetrain development. It addresses a subset of the following important hybrid-related topics that are key elements for the successful introduction of hybrid drivetrain technology: Content Optimization of Hybrid Concepts through Simulation Combustion Engines in Hybrid Drivetrains Hybrid Transmission Concepts Hybrid Powertrain Mechanics High-Voltage Systems, Wiring Harness and Safety Hybrid Control Unit and HiLTesting Batteries Cooling System Layout Hybrid Powertrain Design and Integration Hybrid Powertrain Calibration Hybrid Vehicle NVH, Balancing of HEV Operational Modes Hybrid Vehicle Benchmarking Cost/Benefit Considerations of Hybrid Systems FEV Electric Hybrid Vehicles FEV Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicles Industrialization of HEV production development projects Certification and Aftermarket Documentation Page 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Optimal Configuration of Battery and Battery Type Optimal Configuration of Inverter and Inverter Type Simulation Work N All relevant software codes available (Matlab-Simulink, GT-Drive) N Models available for N Parallel, series, and power-split N Hybrid-relevant components N Hybrid operation strategies N Flexible boundary conditions (e.g. vehicle class, market segment, ICE type, hybrid concept and driving profile) N Correlation with vehicle measurements N Correlation with benchmark data (FEV database) Simulation Model of Parallel Hybrid Simulation Results for Power-Split Hybrid 2 Powertrains in NEDC 3 Combustion Engines Hybrid Transmission Concepts in Hybrid Drivetrains 320 300 280 260 240 220 200 180 160 140 120 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Torque Improvement 3.0I NA 1.8I TC 1.8I TC dynamic full load in 2. gear only time limited compensation possible permanent compensation possible max. electric torque Gasoline Hybrid N Simplification of the combustion engine (e.g. Miller/Atkinson cycle) N Hybrids offer opportunity for downsizing without the drawbacks of insufficient low-end torque because electric machines are capable of providing high peak torque at low speeds. N Combining hybrid with lean-burn combustion technology can also be advantageous. Development of the concept, building of prototypes and production development continues up to Start Of Production (SOP). 3 Examples of Transmission Concepts can be described as follows: 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Hybrid AT Concept (SUV) N Carry over 6-speed auto. transmission N Replace conventional converter by electric converters N Full hybrid functionality: N Performance improved by 30% N Fuel economy improved by 20% N Premium NVH N Same package as base transmission N Modular low cost system 6000 Engine Speed [rpm] Operating Range without Hybrid Assistance Torque Curves Hybrid Boost System FEV’s experience enables the following hybrid concept development: N Evaluation of IC engine configurations such as naturally aspirated ÅÆ turbocharged and spark ignition ÅÆ diesel versus hybrid powertrain concepts such as parallel, series and power-split N Monodirectional optimization for fuel economy or multidimensional optimization for areas such as FE, emissions and NVH N Realization of prototype and production powertrains Optimized Operating Range with Hybrid Assistance Engine Speed Hybrid Operation Map 6000 15000 5000 10000 4000 5000 3000 0 2000 -10000 1000 -15000 0 0.0 50.0 100.0 150.0 200.0 250.0 Vehicle Speed normal electric torque 0 4 Optimum hybrid transmission concepts can be determined during the concept phase, with state-of-the-art CAE technologies. Optimum total system layout can also be achieved applying these technologies. Input Speed Diesel Hybrid N Diesel hybrid engines usually operate within map areas with low BSFC and low exhaust emissions. N The overall optimization of diesel hybrid powertrains is strongly dependent on the exhaust gas aftertreatment concept that is selected. N A well-tuned compromise between fuel consumption and NOx emissions must be found. BMEP Effective Torque [Nm] The various hybrid powertrain structures use different strategies to optimize powertrain behavior. Therefore, the demands placed on the internal combustion engine differ, depending on the type of hybrid system that is selected. For example, in vehicles that use a parallel hybrid layout, the engine should be optimized for a large part of its operating area to exploit the full potential of the hybrid technology. Vehicles that utilize powersplit hybrid designs should have the engine optimized for a specific operating curve.

Besides the mature lead acid technology for low power applications, the de facto standard for passenger cars in today’s production applications is the NiMH technology. Since the lifetime of these batteries is closely related to the State of Charge (SOC) strategy, overall optimization is mandatory. Electrolyte Separ 10 Power [kW/kg] Control of components must be optimized to achieve the full benefits of hybridization. The control structure is dependent on the existing topology. The Hybrid Control Unit (HCU) can be separate or can be integrated into existing control units like the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) or the Engine Control Unit (ECU).

This tool allows vehicle simulation in any driving cycle. The tool also allows the calculation of coolant temperatures and flow rates within the cooling systems of the electronics and in the engine, which is dependent on the actual operating status of the vehicle.

Advanced tools and strategies are required for system optimization: In general, hybrid vehicles can possess a favourable NVH behaviour, especially during start and low speed cruising. Nevertheless, detailed NVH refinement of HEV specific electric components, powertrain mounting system and driveline are required to achieve excellent NVH behaviour.

Consequently, the NVH development focuses on the balancing of HEV operational modes.

In general start/stop functions can be provided with today’s vehicle net voltage level, significant electric power assist, however, will require future systems with 42 or even higher voltage levels. Whilst lead / acid based batteries might still be used for 14 V ISG functions, Nickel/Metal-Hydrid (NiMH) batteries will be necessary in ISG’s with power assist functions, due to their much higher cycle life expectations. In general, the introduction of hybrid systems will depend on the one side to a large extend on the progress in the development of new batteries which can tolerate frequent and fast load changes. New electrolytic double layer capacitors or supercapacitors promise to deliver an extremely high power density with almost unlimited cycle life. A major drawback is their poor energy density when compared to electrochemical batteries. For this reason, supercapacitors are expected to become key elements first of all for power assist concepts, where short term support is delivered by the electrical assist avoiding the burden of heavy batteries. On the other side, the additional production costs of the electrical components will strongly dictate the market introduction time schedule of hybrids together with the availability of 42 V net technology in cars. Required Electric Power / ICE Power CO2 Emissions [g/km] Detailed benchmarking analysis of competitor and prototype systems becomes increasingly crucial as new technologies contribute to greater powertrain complexity. The analysis promotes the development of best-in-class products through a systematic assessment and characterization of competitive products. It also significantly reduces the product development time.

FEV has a broad range of experience in managing complex projects from concept phase up to the start of production and beyond. This includes the key area of managing the “Launch-Phase”, which includes pilot, pre-production, SOP and ramp-up. Certification Prior to use on public roads, a vehicle has to undergo the certification process for the respective market. This is especially important for HEVs, because of their additional weight and the potential usage of a high voltage electrical system. Special care must be taken, concerning their certification. Emission and fuel consumption legislation specific to hybrid vehicle applications is extremely important. In addition, changes to the vehicle such as additional battery weight or interior changes due to battery package might deteriorate certification-relevant criteria like the crash test performance and occupant safety. FEV offers certification support to the OEM that includes up to a full responsibility for vehicle certification, including a coordination with government authorities for the relevant market requirements. Non-powertrain related subjects can be handled with the assistance of established engineering partners.
