Hybrid cars are expected to open up new markets for automation

At present, the shortcomings of fuel-powered vehicles have repeatedly been criticized, not only because of the low efficiency of their use of their potential for driving energy, but also because of the environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions. In this situation, various new energy vehicles emerged. Although it is widely believed that electric vehicles will dominate the market for new energy vehicles in the future, battery technology problems also restrict their development to a certain extent. In contrast, due to the combination of the electric motor and the auxiliary power unit in a single vehicle as a driving force, the advantages of gasoline driving and electric driving complement each other, and the current development prospects of hybrid vehicles are very bright.

With the hybrid drive method, the car can determine the maximum power of the internal combustion engine according to the average required power. At this time, it is in the optimum operating condition with low fuel consumption and less pollution. When high power is required, the internal combustion engine has insufficient power and can be supplemented by batteries. When the load is low, excess power can be generated to charge the battery. As a transitional product before the advent of the electric vehicle era, the structure of hybrid vehicles is relatively complicated and costs are relatively high. Therefore, improving efficiency and reducing costs have become the top issue for automotive manufacturers. How to gain a share in the hybrid vehicle market, "increasing efficiency, reduce costs," has also become a "killer" of competition between automation vendors. Among them, there are some automated companies that provide automotive manufacturers with competitive controller solutions to assist traditional car conversion; some companies are targeting the development of hybrid motor driver solutions to provide users with efficient hardware and software. platform.

B&R: The X20 system helps traditional automotive plug-in hybrids to rely solely on electrical energy for driving at short distances, thereby reducing fuel consumption. When they are charged at a power energy provider, the driver can choose whether to use "green" energy or conventional hybrid energy. The internal combustion engine is only used for long-distance driving. This allows plug-in hybrid vehicles to combine the advantages of motors (high efficiency, low energy consumption) and traditional engines (remote, fast refueling). Since rechargeable batteries are used only for short trips, they are lighter and smaller than batteries for pure electric vehicles.

Swisscleandrive is located in Switzerland. The company develops and designs plug-in hybrid vehicles mainly for various automotive brands. The company adopted the X20 system from B&R which is well-known in the modified Fiat 500 model. In this way, the plug-in hybrid technology has been greatly improved.

As we all know, B & R X20 bus controller can be compatible with many mainstream fieldbus, including: EthernetPOWERLINK, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, Devicenet, Profibus-DP, Profinet, ModbusTCP/IP and so on. At the same time, B&R also introduced an intelligent bus controller with CPU performance. This type of bus controller can help the user to expand the X20 I/O module while also acquiring and processing data. Therefore, regardless of which PLC the current or previous control system is using, the B&R X20 I/O module can be easily connected to the existing PLC system via the bus controller. . In terms of structure, the small size and modular structure of the X20 bus controller also brings convenience to the user's use and installation. Compared to other similar products, the advantages of the X20 system are not limited to high flexibility and compact design. Good cost-effectiveness and consistency plus a unified engineering design tool AutomationStudio are also the key factors that determine the success of this product.

In the evaluation of the performance of hybrid vehicles, start-up time is an important parameter, and Swisscleandrive has also been studying how to reduce the start-up time. According to the company’s engineers, they eventually adopted a bladed I/O system. With excellent planning and design, the controller ensures the flexibility needed for prototype design. For this model, the X20 system continuously ensures that the car is within the desired load range. It can smoothly start or stop the internal combustion engine or the electric motor, or a combination of both, as required. In order to prevent traffic jams or engine cylinder bursts, the electric motor will provide an additional 40 hp for the rear axle. When passing through a congested road, the "fatigue" battery will start charging again.

At the same time, the controller using the X20 system can easily adapt to other vehicles. This opens up a new road to commercialization for Swisscleandrive. For example, if a potential customer is interested in the technology, but he is more willing to apply the technology to a Seat or Volkswagen vehicle, the remaining changes are only mechanical. It is understood that from 2011 onwards, up to several hundred Fiats will be converted into plug-in hybrids each year.

In the development of plug-in hybrid vehicles, the technology used by Swisscleandrive is basically the existing technology. If there is a component that can be called a truly innovative product, then this must be the controller that the company uses. Among them, the powerful performance of the X20 system also boosted the development and upgrade of hybrid vehicle controller technology.

Lustre: Provides Integrated Drive Solutions for Hybrid Vehicles For more than 10 years, Lustre has been providing customers with customized high-voltage (250V to 700V) motor drive solutions for industrial vehicles. With extensive experience and unique expertise in complex motor drive solutions, mass production of high-quality standard vehicle drive products has begun.

In order to respond quickly and efficiently to more and more market demands, for example, hybrid motor drive solutions, Luster has established a dedicated new energy vehicle division with the aim of working with customers to develop motor drive solutions that make use of existing solutions. The space on the vehicle integrates the motor drive system into existing commercial vehicles, construction vehicles, and agricultural vehicle platforms to efficiently work in the existing work environment. In addition, Lustre's motor drive solutions can also be easily integrated into existing vehicle bus technologies and protocols with a high level of protection and excellent resistance to high temperatures and vibrations.

In terms of power performance and efficiency, Lustre's motor drive solutions combine the torque of the motor and the internal combustion engine. It is possible to reduce fuel consumption by 25% or more without sacrificing the power performance of the powertrain. At the same time, Lustre has brought a highly efficient solution concept platform for hybrid vehicles. The existing hardware and software solutions form the basis of a customized powertrain concept, which includes not only the main powertrain but also all of them. Auxiliary system power supply. The flexibility of this concept also allows existing hydraulic drives to be replaced with electronic drives because of the higher energy efficiency of electrification. In addition, the motor-assisted internal combustion engine is allowed to operate more frequently and for a longer period of time in a more efficient range during acceleration. Due to the addition of motor power and torque, smaller power internal combustion engines can be used, with advantages of reduced fuel consumption, reduced engine weight, and relatively lower cost. When the speed is reduced, the torque is applied so that the torque is high. In this case, the speed of the internal combustion engine can be reduced. With motor and motor drives, additional kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy and stored in an energy storage system, which can then be used to drive the motor.

At the same time, Luster offers customized solutions based on a modular concept and a scalable hardware and software platform. For control level hardware, standard microprocessors are allowed in the vehicle sector and provide the following options: integration of functional client software/software sharing, use of existing bus technologies and protocols such as CAN protocol RJ1939, XCP or KWP2000, support for users The development and service environment used. In addition, with a changeable housing concept design, Luster can integrate devices or subsystems such as master and auxiliary systems, earth leakage monitoring, hybrid controllers, and battery management systems into the drive or subsystem.
