  • Hydraulic hybrid with balgaccumulators
  • Electrical hybrid with supercapacitors


Technical environment

 

  • Matlab – Simulink – SimScape
  • dSpace
  • Labview

 


Key figures

 

 
  • Project duration: 3 years

Context

Because of the recent focus and stricter government legislation on CO2 emissions, hybridization becomes interesting for driveline manufacturers.

For a large supplier of off-highway transmissions, ALTEN conducted research on electrical and hydraulic hybrids for the off-highway vehicle market. The research on different aspects of this technology was conducted in collaboration with other specialists (University of Brussels, Flanders’ Mechatronics Technology Centre).

 

 

ALTEN's achievements

 

The following tasks were performed:

 

Hydraulic hybrid

  • Theoretical study of hybridisation possibilities and influence parameters
  • Setting up test bench and starting HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) simulations

 

Electrical hybrid

  • Theoretical study of hybridization possibilities for 4 vehicles

Extra: simulations power-split system.

 

 

ALTEN's Added value

 

Pragmatism

 

Overview of all co-operation projects:

  • Combining information from different sources in the global view of the project.
  • Giving sufficient data to the different partners for optimal benefit from the cooperation projects.
