Aims and Objectives

Aim

•To be able to describe the operation of a vehicles hybrid system

Objectives

•To recognize the need for alternative fuels• To be able to describe the operation of a hybrid system•To be able to comment on the use of hybrid systems

Why do we need alternative fuels?

We need alternative fuels as our supply of fossil fuels (that make petrol and diesel) are becoming less and less.

To make an effort to reduce our carbon footprint.

To reduce the amount of harmful gases produced by vehicles.

Hybrid Vehicles

Question

In pairs discuss some other reasons why we might benefit from alternative fuels.

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 4: hybrid vehicles

Alternative Fuels

Ethanol

Reduces the green house gases produced by vehicles, is commonly mixed with petrol to run motor vehicles:-

E10 10% Ethanol 90% PetrolE85 85% Ethanol 15% Petrol

(no difference in performance to the two)

Alternative Fuels

Ethanol Plus points

•Lower Emissions•More resistance to engine knock•Added vehicle cost is minimal

Ethanol Negative points

•Flex fuel vehicle •Lower energy content•Limited Availability

Hybrid Vehicles

Alternative Fuels

Bio Diesel

Is made up of crops, or even old restaurant oilCan be used on its own or blended with petrol

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 7: hybrid vehicles

Alternative Fuels

Bio Diesel Plus points

•Can be utilised in most diesel engines•Less air pollutants•Biodegradable•Non-toxic•Safer to handle

Bio Diesel Negative points

•May not be approved by the manufacture•Lower fuel economy •More nitrogen oxide•Not suitable in lower temperature•Concerns over engine durability

Hybrid Vehicles

Alternative Fuels

Natural Gas

Can be used to fuel the car as a gas or a liquidCan be utilised within duel fuel vehiclesStored in high pressure tanks (therefore two fuelling systems are required within the vehicle)

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 9: hybrid vehicles

Alternative Fuels

Natural Gas Plus points

•60-90% less smoke producing emissions•30-40% less Green House gasses emitted•Less expensive

Natural Gas Negative points

•Fewer miles per tank•Less available •Limited to the type of vehicles it is available on

Hybrid Vehicles

Alternative Fuels

Propane LPG

Clean burning fossil fuelContains fewer toxinsMust have a separate fuelling system for the two fuels (petrol and LPG)

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 11: hybrid vehicles

Alternative Fuels

Propane Plus points

•Fewer toxins and smog emitting pollutants•Less expensive

Propane Negative points

•Not currently readily available on newer models•Fewer miles available per tank of fuel

Alternative Fuels

Hydrogen

Hydrogen is been readily looked at as an alternative for petrol/diesel.Environmentally friendly fuel, however, there are challenges that stop this fuel being currently widely used.

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 13: hybrid vehicles

Alternative Fuels

Hydrogen Plus points

•Produced from several sources•No air pollutants produced•Produces only NOX

Hydrogen Negative points

•Expensive•Fuel cells can be expensive•Lower energy density then fuel

Questions

Give two advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen fuel?

Hybrid Vehicles

Can be split into two sections:-Series and Parallel

SeriesThe vehicles Engine will drive the generator which in turn powers the vehicle.

ParallelEngine and motor can be used to drive the vehicle, this system employs brake energy regeneration. This is the most favoured amongst manufactures.

Question

What are the two sections that hybrid vehicles can be split into?

Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid Vehicles

The main components include:-

MotorHigh Voltage BatteryPower drive UnitDC converter (direct current)

Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid Vehicles

Toyota Prius

Uses a Power Split system

1)the high voltage battery provides power to the motor to drive the wheels

2)Wheels are driven by engine to power splitting device. The generator is driven by planetary gears to provide the motor with electricity to drive the wheels

3)During de-acceleration energy is recovered at the wheels, the energy in converted to mechanical energy to charge the vehicles high voltage battery

Toyota Prius

Power Splitter

Is a epicycle gear box, that transmits energy in main components.

Question

Name one of the five modes that hybrid vehicles use.

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 23: hybrid vehicles

Hybrid Vehicles

Toyota Prius

Start up

Under normal conditions the motor will start the engineUnder poor start up conditions the 12v starting system will start the vehicle

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 24: hybrid vehicles

Hybrid Vehicles

Toyota Prius

Acceleration

DC is converted to AC via the power drive unitThis is used as supply to the motorIt is also used to supplement engine output

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 25: hybrid vehicles

Hybrid Vehicles

Toyota Prius

Cruise

Engine drives the motor (which acts as a generator) The output current drives the motorConverted to 12v DC supplies the vehicles charging system

Hybrid Vehicles

Page 26: hybrid vehicles

Hybrid Vehicles

Toyota Prius

Deceleration Motor is driven by the wheels under deceleration conditions, regeneration takes placePower drive unit converts AC current to DC current to charge the batter module. Some energy is then used to charge the 12v electrical system.If ABS senses wheel lock up, a signal is sent to the ECU and re-generation stops to prevent interference.

Toyota Prius

Idle

The flow of energy is similar to that of cruisingIf the charge of the battery is low, the ECU will raise the vehicles idle speed to compensate for this.
