Experimental investigation of supercapacitor based regenerative energy storage for a fuel cell vehicle equipped with an alternator

Recently, researchers have devoted more attention to supercapacitors (SCs) to integrate with batteries in energy storage systems (ESSs) for vehicle applications. In this study, we attempted to characterize the use of SCs in the ESS for a PEM fuel cell vehicle equipped with an alternator to maximize the performance of regenerative braking. We applied lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and SCs as energy storage devices to examine their effect on ESS. Then we used a hysteresis brake to apply controllable braking force on the flywheel to form hybrid braking (HB) and made efforts to study its behavior to suggest a braking control strategy. We also ran the whole system over the rotational speed to cover the range of driving speed. At last, we sized the SCs for the most commonly used fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) in Korea, i.e., Hyundai NEXO, based on the results obtained from the above study by alternator efficiencies.

Wind turbine speed control of a contactless piezoelectric wind energy harvester

ABSTRACT

Wind turbine control is an important task to make the electricity generation secure in terms of energy demand and machine safety. It also yields to control the desired power level and optimized energy because of the assignment of turbine speed. The contactless piezoelectric wind energy harvester (CPWEH) used in this study has three piezoelectric layers located around the shaft with 120 degrees apart and they are buckled by the magnetic force without any physical contact. The superiority of this device is to generate energy for low wind speeds such as 1.5 m/s. However, for high speeds, high total harmonic distortions (THDs) govern the waveforms, thus controlling the turbine speed becomes necessary for optimizing the output power. Encouraged by this, a small low inertia dc generator is coupled with the wind turbine, and the generator terminals are connected to a resistor through a power switch to generate a braking torque that opposes to wind speed direction. By controlling the switch properly, turbine speed is ensured to remain within a certain band, which accordingly prevents the turbine from rotating very fast at damaging wind speeds. Several experiments are performed on the developed CPWEH with/without the presented control scheme which prove the existence of promising performance of our proposal.     

Temperature Compensation Algorithm for Hydraulic System Pressure Control

In this paper the control mechanism of solenoid valve is analyzed, which shows the solenoid valve control is actually the control of coil current. The response characteristic of coil current is related to coil inductance and resistance. The coil resistance is influenced greatly by the ambient temperature and the self-heating of coil, which affects the control precision of coil current. First, considering the heat dissipation mode of coil, the coil temperature model is established from the perspective of heat conduction, and a temperature compensation algorithm for hydraulic system pressure control is put forward. Then the hardware-in-the-loop testbed is set up by using the dSPACE platform, carrying out wheel cylinder pressurization tests with inlet valve fully opened at -40℃ and 20℃, and testing the actual pressure of wheel cylinder with the target pressures at -40℃ and 6.000 kPa/s (pressurization rate). The results show that the pressure control temperature compensation algorithm proposed in this paper accurately corrects the influence of resistance temperature drift on the response accuracy of wheel cylinder pressure. After the correction, the pressure difference is less than 500 kPa, which can meet the control accuracy requirements of solenoid valve, enriching the linear control characteristic of solenoid valve.
