The Design Concept of Complete Traction Electric Equipment Sets for Hybrid Vehicles

Abstract

Principals of electromechanical devices are not yet stable concerning the specific of their application, and there is necessary reconsideration of many principal subjects. Transfer from the input data to the parameters of the specific devices now is based on the experience of development of these devices for other applications and appears to be more an art of designers. There are no standard and proven choosing procedures of the basic parameters of electromechanical devices for hybrid automotive machinery: reduction ratios, number of gears, rotation frequencies, electric machines power source frequencies, number of pole pairs, etc. The cases of correct comparison of the developed configurations are rare as there are no criteria of quality of their design work. All this largely constrains the development of the perspective samples of hybrid machinery, complicates mutual understanding of experts—designers of electric machines, electric drives, mechanical devices and transport experts.
