ADVANCES IN HYBRID POWERTRAINS
November 25 & 26, 2008
IFP, Rueil Malmaison, France
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
Today, hybrid powertrains are expected to have a substantial impact on road travel. The main motivation behind the development of hybrid technology is the possibility of combining the advantages of purely electric vehicles – in particular zero local emissions – with the advantages of engine-based vehicles, namely high energy and power density. In addition, hybrid powertrains offer a variety of options for improving fuel economy in comparison with engine-based powertrains. How effectively this potential can be exploited depends on how well a number of components perform, and how effectively they are integrated and managed on a system level.
Hybrid powertrains technology still has a long way to go before it reaches maturity. New classes of components, particularly well suited to hybrid applications, are increasingly being studied, prototyped or released. There is a particular focus on systems designed to effectively store energy on board and recuperate energy from both the vehicle and the engine. In addition, the functional integration of these unconventional components into new, specially adapted types of engines is being investigated, along with their operative integration by the vehicle’s supervisory control system.
Consequently, hybrid powertrains are still a subject of in-depth research, both industrial and academic.
This international conference is therefore designed to be a scientific and technical event gathering together players from the worlds of academic research, applied research and industry and focusing on the medium-term development of hybrid powertrains for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, and delivery trucks.
The conference is being jointly organized by IFP and TNO. Through the event, the two organizations intend to firmly assert the strategic interest of this key scientific and technical challenge to the European research community.
The main topics addressed by the conference will be:
-
optimization of thermal engines for hybrid applications,
-
system-level supervisory control and optimization,
-
specific transmissions for hybrid applications,
-
on-board energy storage systems,
-
optimized electric motors,
-
dedicated power electronics,
-
heat recovery for next generation of hybrid vehicles,
-
modelling and support tools for the design of hybrids, from a scientific and technical viewpoint.
