Lecture
  • Control of energy flow and power distribution in series and parallel hybrid drive.
  • The conception of master controller for electric and hybrid drive. Control strategy.
  • The influence of drive control strategy on its components efficiency.
  • Control methods of electric machines in four quadrants of torque – speed coordinates.
  • Control methods of speed end load torque of internal combustion engine.
  • The mechanical drive components - clutches, brakes and multi-gear gearboxes - the influence on drive structure and control aimed to energy saving.
  • The nonlinearity problems in control of drive components.
  • Systems monitoring for drive system components. Definition and indication of the battery State of Charge.
  • The active and passive balancing method of the supercapacitors and batteries cells voltage.
  • The fuel cell output voltage control - the adjustment of relation between hydrogen and oxygen.
  • Electromechanical differential - design and modeling.
  • Main control system implementation in d’Space - rapid prototyping platform.
