Introduction to Hybrid Vehicle System Modeling and Control

Thisis anengineering reference book on hybrid vehicle system analysis and design, an outgrowth of the author'ssubstantial work in research, development and production at the National Research Council Canada, Azure Dynamics and nowGeneral Motors. Itis an irreplaceable toolfor helping engineersdevelop algorithms and gain a thorough understanding of hybrid vehicle systems. This book covers all the major aspects of hybrid vehicle modeling, control, simulation, performance analysis and preliminary design. It not only systemically provides the basic knowledge of hybrid vehicle system configuration and main components, but also details their characteristics and mathematic models. Providesvaluable technicalexpertise necessary for building hybrid vehicle system and analyzing performance via drivability, fuel economy and emissions Built from the author'sindustry experience at major vehicle companies includingGeneral Motors and Azure Dynamics Inc.
Offers algorithm implementations andfigures/examples extracted from actual practice systems Suitable for a training course on hybrid vehicle system development with supplemental materials An essential resource enabling hybrid development and design engineers to understand the hybrid vehicle systems necessary for control algorithm design and developments.
