Hybrid power technology is a practicable method for construction machinery to improve fuel utilization and reduce emissions. In this article, in order to achieve the maximum degree of energy conservation for hybrid hydraulic excavator, a study on a control strategy of the hybrid power train system for a 20-t hybrid hydraulic excavator is conducted. A rule-based method which stabilizes the engine operating points in high-efficiency area and maintains the state of charge of the ultra-capacitor in a feasible operating range is presented. Meanwhile, to improve the reliability of the ultra-capacitor, a two-stage state of charge constraint is applied. To validate the effectiveness of the control strategy, a hybrid power train system simulation loading experiment platform is built. The working characteristics and the energy conservation characteristics of the hybrid power train system are explored. Actual load profiles measured from a 20-t traditional excavator are measured and applied in the system. The experimental results show that the proposed control strategy for the hybrid power train system can improve the fuel economy of the hybrid hydraulic excavator. Meanwhile, dynamic performance of the hybrid power train system is better than that of the traditional excavator.


Chapter 9 is devoted to simulation research showing the influence of changes of the power train’s parameters and control strategy on the vehicle’s energy consumption, depending on different driving conditions. The control strategy role is to manage how much energy, frankly speaking, how much of the torque-speed relations referring to the power alteration, are flowing to or from each component. In this way, the components of the hybrid power train have to be integrated with a control strategy, and of course, with its energetic parameters to achieve the optimal design for a given set of constraints. The hybrid power train is very complex and non-linear to its every component. One effective method of system optimization is numerical computation, the simulation, as in the case of the multivalent suboptimal procedure regarding the number of electrical mechanical drive’s elements, whose simultaneous operation is connected with the proper energy flow control. The minimization of a power train’s internal losses is the target. The quality factor is minimal energy, as well as minimal fuel and electricity consumption. The fuel consumption by the hybrid power train has to be considered in relation to the conventional propelled vehicle. First of all, the commonly chosen statistic driving cycles should be taken into consideration. Unfortunately, this is not enough. The additional tests as for the vehicle’s climbing, acceleration, and power train behavior, referring to real driving situations, are strongly recommended during the drive design process.

A new hybrid electric tracked bulldozer composed of an engine generator, two driving motors, and an ultracapacitor is put forward, which can provide high efficiencies and less fuel consumption comparing with traditional ones. This paper first presents the terramechanics of this hybrid electric tracked bulldozer. The driving dynamics for this tracked bulldozer is then analyzed. After that, based on analyzing the working characteristics of the engine, generator, and driving motors, the power train system model and control strategy optimization is established by using MATLAB/Simulink and OPTIMUS software. Simulation is performed under a representative working condition, and the results demonstrate that fuel economy of the HETV can be significantly improved.

As part of a project for the realization of a hybrid vehicle with an innovative power train system, the proposal presented is to disconnect the turbocharger group and study the different behavior of the compressor and turbine, so decoupled. In an actual turbocharger, when the power of the turbine exceeds that required by the compressor, the wastegate valve opens. In this way, a part of the flue gases does not evolve into a turbine and limits the power generated. In the solution proposed here (the paper considers only “compressor side”) all the flow rate of the flue gases is processed by the turbine. In this way, for each rpms of the IC engine, the turbine generates more power than that required by the compressor. This makes it possible to use this surplus of power for the auxiliaries and/or to recharge the battery pack of the considered hybrid vehicle. An additional advantage is, thanks to this surplus generated, that the battery pack can be smaller and can be recharged while driving. Therefore, the entire system operates as a “Range Extended”. As mentioned above, this work is focused on the direct compressor—innovative electric motor coupling will be sized and realized, and a subsequent series of experimental tests will confirm the feasibility of this phase of the project.
