The fast growth in world population and the associated energy
requirements, the announced depletion of fossil fuel resources, the
continuing rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the induced
climatic changes represent some of the major challenges to be taken up in
the coming years and decades. Hybridization therefore typically represents
a transition technology which can significantly improve the energy and
environmental performance of current vehicles, without radically changing
their use typologies, while opening the way to new propulsion modes for
the longer term. It is nevertheless a complex subject requiring a
multidisciplinary approach. This book, which is intended to be exhaustive,
considers the vehicle, its components, their association and their
control, as well as the global balances determined over the vehicle
lifetime. It starts with a general presentation of the various conditions
of use of vehicles, to give readers an understanding of the stakes related
to the development of hybrid vehicles and the methods used to compare the
performance of the various solutions. The principles and the various types
of thermal and electrical drives, onboard energy storage systems,
principles, architectures, specific components and operation of hybrid
drives, as well as the energy management in these vehicles, are developed.
A global analysis of the various drives, life cycle assessment (LCA),
total costs and availability of sensitive materials is also provided. This
book is intended for everyone involved in the design, manufacture and
implementation of hybrid drive vehicles and their components. It will also
be of interest to students, teachers and researchers wishing to acquire or
further their knowledge in all fields impacted by drivetrain
electrification. More globally, after consulting this book, readers will
be in a position to evaluate the technologies related to the concept of
drivetrain hybridization, their implementation, balances and
generalization conditions.
