| Summary: | A city bus with hybrid drive system was studied for its performance. The driveline under consideration consists of two alternative energy sources—an internal combustion engine (ICE) and kinetic energy storage (KES)—a hydrostatic transmission (HST), a drive axle and corresponding gears. A generalized law for HST control is obtained that satisfies kinematic and torque requirements for the alternative energy sources and the different modes of operation of the bus. A test stand was developed for validation of the chosen control strategy and for the energy flow simulations through the HST. The estimated maximum energy recovery potential is around 20–25%. |
