The book deals with the fundamentals, theoretical bases, and design
methodologies of conventional internal combustion engine (ICE)
vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs),
and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). The design methodology is described
in mathematical terms, step-by-step, and the topics are approached
from the overall drive train system, not just individual
components. Furthermore, in explaining the design methodology of
each drive train, design examples are presented with simulation
results.
Initially, the only electric loads encountered in an automobile
were for lighting and the starter motor. Today, demands on
performance, safety, emissions, comfort, convenience,
entertainment, and communications have seen the working-in of
seemingly innumerable advanced electronic devices. Consequently,
vehicle electric systems require larger capacities and more complex
configurations to deal with these demands. Covering applications in
conventional, hybrid-electric, and electric vehicles, the Handbook
of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives provides a
comprehensive reference for automotive electrical systems. This
authoritative handbook features contributions from an outstanding
international panel of experts from industry and academia,
highlighting existing and emerging technologies. Divided into five
parts, the Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor
Drives offers an overview of automotive power systems, discusses
semiconductor devices, sensors, and other components, explains
different power electronic converters, examines electric machines
and associated drives, and details various advanced electrical
loads as well as battery technology for automobile applications. As
we seek to answer the call for safer, more efficient, and
lower-emission vehicles from regulators and consumer insistence on
better performance, comfort, and entertainment, the technologies
outlined in this book are vital for engineering advanced vehicles
that will satisfy these criteria.
Vehicular Electric Power Systems: Land, Sea, Air, and Space
Vehicles acquaints professionals with trends and challenges in the
development of more electric vehicles (MEVs) using detailed
examples and comprehensive discussions of advanced MEV power system
architectures, characteristics, and dynamics. The authors focus on
real-world applications and highlight issues related to system
stability as well as challenges faced during and after
implementation. Probes innovations in the development of more
electric vehicles for improved maintenance, support, endurance,
safety, and cost-efficiency in automotive, aerospace, and marine
vehicle engineering Heralding a new wave of advances in power
system technology, Vehicular Electric Power Systems discusses:
-Different automotive power systems including conventional
automobiles, more electric cars, heavy-duty vehicles, and electric
and hybrid electric vehicles -Electric and hybrid electric
propulsion systems and control strategies -Aerospace power systems
including conventional and advanced aircraft, spacecraft, and the
international space station -Sea and undersea vehicles -The
modeling, real-time state estimation, and stability assessment of
vehicular power systems -Applications of fuel cells in various
land, sea, air, and space vehicles -Modeling techniques for energy
storage devices including batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaic
cells, and ultracapacitors -Advanced power electronic converters
and electric motor drives for vehicular applications -Guidelines
for the proper design of DC and AC distribution architectures
Innovative transportation technologies will be a vital component of
any future sustainable society. Gathering over 50 authoritative,
peer-reviewed entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability
Science and Technology, Transportation Technologies for
Sustainability covers a broad range of transportation-related
sustainability research, from vehicle design and technology to mass
transit systems. State-of-the-art chapters describe key
developments in intelligent vehicle technology, including vision
sensors, driver status monitoring, and vehicle motion control,
while international experts present the latest research in
electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles. Leaders in the mass
transit field assess a broad spectrum of alternatives in both small
and large urban areas. This valuable collection is an essential
reference for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers,
policymakers, and industry experts.
