Hybrid Electric Vehicle System
Based on our extensive Electric Vehicle R&D Focus now offers a complete Hybrid Electric Vehicle system for student Teaching Labs, or R&D purposes.
This system is a complete Electric Vehicle including Electric Traction Motor, Motor Controller, Batteries and Charger. The Motor is coupled to a tire running on a chassis dynamometer for measuring the vehicles speed, torque and power, while controlling the load on the vehicle. The Hybrid Generator consists of an internal combustion engine coupled to an Integrated Starter/Generator. The engine has a servo throttle controlled by the hybrid controller, which also runs the generator as a motor to start the engine, and can shut the engine down once the batteries are fully charged.
Currents and Voltages re measured at various points in the system, allowing calculation of motor efficiency, charging and discharging currents, and hybrid engine power.
