Abstract

In co-operation with university and industrial partners a testbed for a series hybrid vehicle has been built up at the Mechatronics Laboratory of the University of Paderborn (MLaP), Germany. The configuration of the hybrid drive consists of a spark-ignition engine (Daimler-Benz) and a generator (Mannesmann-Sachs) as auxiliary power unit (APU) and a so-called electric tandem motor (Mannesmann-Sachs) that drives the wheels. As energy storage device a Nickel-Cadmium battery is applied. For testbed control a powerful real-time environment is employed that comprises component control, hardware-in-the-loop simulation as well as vehicle management and emergency system. Simulation as well as testbed results prove the advantage of a series hybrid vehicle when it comes to reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
