this topic is about hybrid fuel . which is so important for engineering student . i make this presentation according to future views and real world . when we entre new era , than we also known about hybrid fuel and vehicle use.
Hybrid vehicles have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. There are several types of hybrid vehicles depending on their drivetrain structure (series, parallel, or combined) and degree of hybridization (mild, medium, or full). Hybrids provide benefits like increased fuel efficiency and lower emissions but also have disadvantages like higher initial costs and shorter driving ranges compared to gas-only vehicles.
Hybrid cars are definitely more environmentally friendly than internal-combustion vehicles. Batteries are being engineered to have a long life. When the hybrid cars become more widespread, battery recycling will become economically possible. Research into other energy sources such as fuel cells and renewable fuels make the future look brighter for hybrid cars. EVs, HEVs, FCHVs, and PHEVs have proven to be ineffective solution for current energy and environment concerns. With revolutionary contributions of power electronics and ESSs, electric drive trains totally or partially replace ICEs in these vehicles. Advanced ESSs are aimed at satisfying the energy requirements of hybrid power trains.
This document discusses hybrid vehicles. It defines a hybrid vehicle as one with two or more power sources, such as gasoline-electric. Hybrids optimize fuel efficiency by allowing the internal combustion engine to work efficiently while capturing braking energy. There are three main hybrid architectures: parallel, series, and power split. The power split design, seen in Toyota Prius, is a combination of series and parallel that optimizes power delivery. Hybrids improve fuel economy and reduce emissions but cost more upfront due to additional components like batteries.
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES
1. INTRODUCTION
A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) has two types of energy storage units, electricity and fuel.
Electricity means that a battery (sometimes assisted by ultracaps) is used to store the energy, and that an electromotor (from now on called motor) will be used as traction motor.
Fuel means that a tank is required, and that an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE, from now on called engine) is used to generate mechanical power, or that a fuel cell will be used to convert fuel to electrical energy. In the latter case, traction will be performed by the electromotor only. In the first case, the vehicle will have both an engine and a motor.
Depending on the drive train structure (how motor and engine are connected), we can distinguish between parallel, series or combined HEVs.
Depending on the share of the electromotor to the traction power, we can distinguish between mild or micro hybrid (start-stop systems), power assist hybrid, full hybrid and plug-in hybrid.
Depending on the nature of the non-electric energy source, we can distinguish between combustion (ICE), fuel cell, hydraulic or pneumatic power, and human power. In the first case, the ICE is a spark ignition engines (gasoline) or compression ignition direct injection (diesel) engine. In the first two cases, the energy conversion unit may be powered by gasoline, methanol, compressed natural gas, hydrogen, or other alternative fuels.
Motors are the "work horses" of Hybrid Electric Vehicle drive systems. The electric traction motor drives the wheels of the vehicle. Unlike a traditional vehicle, where the engine must "ramp up" before full torque can be provided, an electric motor provides full torque at low speeds. The motor also has low noise and high efficiency. Other characteristics include excellent "off the line" acceleration, good drive control, good fault tolerance and flexibility in relation to voltage fluctuations.
The front-running motor technologies for HEV applications include PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor), BLDC (brushless DC motor), SRM (switched reluctance motor) and AC induction motor.
A main advantage of an electromotor is the possibility to function as generator. In all HEV systems, mechanical braking energy is regenerated.
The maximum operational braking torque is less than the maximum traction torque; there is always a mechanical braking system integrated in a car.
The battery pack in a HEV has a much higher voltage than the SIL automotive 12 Volts battery, in order to reduce the currents and the I2R losses.
Accessories such as power steering and air conditioning are powered by electric motors instead of being attached to the combustion engine. This allows efficiency gains as the accessories can run at a constant speed or can be switched off, regardless of how fast the combustion engine is running. Especially in long haul trucks, electrical power steering saves a lot of energy.
The document summarizes a PowerPoint presentation about the Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicle. It discusses the current dependence on gasoline/diesel vehicles and the need for alternate fuel sources due to depletion of fossil fuels and pollution. It then defines electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, explaining that HEVs have multiple power sources unlike EVs. The Toyota Prius architecture is described as a series-parallel hybrid system. Its operating modes of electric-only, gas-only, and blended power are outlined. Advantages include improved fuel economy and reduced emissions while disadvantages include higher costs and reliability concerns with added components.

This document discusses hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). HEVs combine a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric propulsion system to achieve better fuel economy or performance than conventional vehicles. HEVs use both an internal combustion engine and electric motor for propulsion, with a battery to store energy from regenerative braking and the engine.

This document discusses different types of hybrid electric vehicles. It begins by defining a hybrid car as having two or more propulsion sources, most commonly gasoline and electric motors. The gasoline engine in hybrids is smaller and more efficient. There are several variations of hybrid configurations including mild, series, parallel, and series/parallel. Mild hybrids use electric motors only for assistance and cannot drive solely on electric. Series hybrids have the engine power an electric generator to charge the battery and power the electric motor driving the wheels. Parallel hybrids can use the engine or motor independently or together to power the wheels. Series/parallel hybrids combine both series and parallel systems to maximize efficiency and performance. The document provides diagrams to illustrate the different
A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) has two types of energy storage units, electricity and fuel. Electricity means that a battery (sometimes assisted by ultracaps) is used to store the energy, and that an electromotor (from now on called motor) will be used as traction motor. Fuel means that a tank is required, and that an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE, from now on called engine) is used to generate mechanical power, or that a fuel cell will be used to convert fuel to electrical energy. In the latter case, traction will be performed by the electromotor only. In the first case, the vehicle will have both an engine and a motor.
Depending on the drive train structure (how motor and engine are connected), we can distinguish between parallel, series or combined HEVs.
Depending on the share of the electromotor to the traction power, we can distinguish between mild or micro hybrid (start-stop systems), power assist hybrid, full hybrid and plug-in hybrid.
Depending on the nature of the non-electric energy source, we can distinguish between combustion (ICE), fuel cell, hydraulic or pneumatic power, and human power. In the first case, the ICE is a spark ignition engines (gasoline) or compression ignition direct injection (diesel) engine. In the first two cases, the energy conversion unit may be powered by gasoline, methanol, compressed natural gas, hydrogen, or other alternative fuels.

It describes the three main types of hybrids: parallel, series, and a combination of the two. Parallel hybrids have both an internal combustion engine and electric motor connected directly to the transmission, while series hybrids use only the electric motor to power the vehicle. Combination hybrids use both a mechanical and electrical connection between the engine and drive axle. The presentation outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each system and discusses degrees of hybridization from mild to plug-in hybrids.

This document discusses future hybrid and fuel cell vehicle technologies. It covers the need for more efficient vehicles, different types of hybrid electric vehicle drivetrains including series, parallel and series-parallel. It also discusses plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, mild vs full hybrid technologies, and the working and benefits of fuel cell vehicles. The document aims to provide an overview of these emerging powertrain technologies.
A hybrid vehicle combines a gasoline engine with electric motors and batteries to improve fuel efficiency. During regular driving, a small gasoline engine powers a generator to charge the batteries and provide electricity to the electric motor, which drives the wheels. During acceleration, the batteries provide extra power to the electric motor. When braking or idling, the electric motor acts as a generator to recharge the batteries. Hybrids can be parallel or series designs, but the goal is to allow the gasoline engine to run efficiently while electricity from regenerative braking and batteries assists with power needs. This optimized system results in better gas mileage than a conventional vehicle.
This document provides an overview of different types of hybrid vehicle systems. It discusses micro, mild, medium, full, and power hybrid categories based on the level of electric assistance. The main powertrain designs are series, parallel, and series-parallel. Series hybrids have no direct mechanical connection between the engine and wheels, parallel hybrids connect the engine and electric motor to the transmission, and series-parallel hybrids allow independent propulsion from either power source through a complex control system. The document provides examples and brief explanations of each hybrid type and design.
This document provides a brief history of hybrid vehicles from 1839 to 2004. It describes key developments including some of the earliest electric and hybrid vehicles in the late 1800s. It then discusses the components and layout of hybrid vehicles including the petrol engine, batteries, electric motor, and computer control systems. The document outlines the characteristics of series and parallel hybrid drivetrains. Example hybrid vehicles are described like the Honda Insight, Toyota Prius, and Ford Escape Hybrid. The advantages of hybrids over conventional vehicles are listed as increased efficiency, reduced emissions, and serving as a transition to more sustainable energy sources.
Regenerative braking systems in hybrid and electric vehicles capture kinetic energy lost during braking and convert it to electrical energy that is stored in a battery. This captured energy can then be used to help power the vehicle. Specifically, regenerative braking uses the electric motor as a generator during braking so that the motor's output recharges the battery rather than dissipating the energy as heat. By recapturing this lost kinetic energy, regenerative braking improves fuel efficiency in hybrids and extends the range of electric vehicles.
This document provides an overview of hybrid electric vehicles. It discusses the history of hybrid vehicles from early prototypes in the 1890s to modern hybrids like the Toyota Prius. The social and environmental benefits of hybrids are explained, noting their ability to reduce emissions and impact of global warming. Different types of hybrid drive trains are introduced, including series and parallel hybrid systems. Vehicle performance factors like acceleration and transmission characteristics are reviewed.
This document discusses hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). HEVs combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor to achieve better fuel efficiency and lower emissions than conventional vehicles. There are three main types of HEVs: parallel hybrids, series hybrids, and power-split hybrids. Parallel hybrids have both the engine and electric motor drive the wheels directly. Series hybrids use the engine to power a generator which provides electricity to the electric motor to drive the wheels. Power-split hybrids combine aspects of series and parallel hybrids for maximum efficiency. HEVs provide benefits like reduced fuel consumption and emissions but also have drawbacks like higher initial costs and challenges with battery disposal.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
An improved modulation technique suitable for a three level flying capacitor ...IJECEIAES
This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

2. INTRODUCTION
• A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as
internal combustion engine to drive an electric generator that
powers an electric motor e.g. in diesel-electric trains using diesel
engines to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor,
and submarines that use diesels when surfaced and batteries when
submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid
in hydraulic hybrids.
• The basic principle with hybrid vehicles is that the different motors
work better at different speeds; the electric motor is more efficient
at producing torque, or turning power, and the combustion engine
is better for maintaining high speed (better than typical electric
motor). Switching from one to the other at the proper time while
speeding up yields a win-win in terms of energy efficiency, as such
that translates into greater fuel efficiency, for example.

4. TYPE OF HYBRID VEHICLE
1. Two-wheeled and cycle-type vehicles-
Mopeds, electric bicycles, and even electric kick scooters are a simple form of a
hybrid, powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor and the rider's
muscles.
2. Heavy vehicle-
Hybrid power trains use diesel-electric or turbo-electric to power railway
locomotives, buses, heavy goods vehicles, mobile hydraulic machinery, and
ships. A diesel/turbine engine drives an electric generator or hydraulic pump,
which powers electric/hydraulic motor(s) - strictly an electric/hydraulic
transmission (not a hybrid), unless it can accept power from outside. With
large vehicles conversion losses decrease, and the advantages in distributing
power through wires or pipes rather than mechanical elements become more
prominent, especially when powering multiple drives — e.g. driven wheels or
propellers. Until recently most heavy vehicles had little secondary energy
storage, e.g. batteries/hydraulic accumulators — excepting non-
nuclear submarines, one of the oldest production hybrids, running on diesels
while surfaced and batteries when submerged. Both series and parallel setups
were used in WW2 submarines.
5. Type of Hybrid engine
1. Hybrid electric-petroleum vehicles
2. Continuously outboard recharged electric vehicle (COREV)
3. Hybrid fuel (dual mode)
4. Fluid power hybrid
5. Electric-human power hybrid vehicle
6. 1. Hybrid electric-petroleum vehicles
In 1899, Henri Pieper developed the world's first petro-electric hybrid automobile. A
petroleum-electric hybrid most commonly uses internal combustion engines (using a
variety of fuels, generally gasoline or Diesel engines) and electric motors to power the
vehicle. The energy is stored in the fuel of the internal combustion engine and
an electric battery set . For example -the Saturn Vue, Toyota Prius, Toyota Yaris, Toyota
Camry Hybrid, Ford Escape Hybrid, Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Honda Insight, Honda
Civic Hybrid, Lexus RX 400h and 450h, Hyundai Ioniq and others.
2. Continuously outboard recharged electric vehicle (COREV)
Some battery electric vehicles (BEVs) can be recharged while the user drives. Such a
vehicle establishes contact with an electrified rail, plate or overhead wires on the
highway via an attached conducting wheel or other similar mechanism (see Conduit
current collection). The BEV's batteries are recharged by this process—on the
highway—and can then be used normally on other roads until the battery is
discharged. For example, some of the battery-electric locomotives used for
maintenance trains on the London Underground are capable of this mode of
operation.
7. 3. Hybrid fuel (dual mode)
In addition to vehicles that use two or more different devices for propulsion, some
also consider vehicles that use distinct energy sources or input types ("fuels") using
the same engine to be hybrids.
4. Fluid power hybrid
Hydraulic hybrid and pneumatic hybrid vehicles use an engine to charge a pressure
accumulator to drive the wheels via hydraulic (liquid) or pneumatic (compressed air)
drive units. In most cases the engine is detached from the drivetrain, serving solely to
charge the energy accumulator. The transmission is seamless. Regenerative braking
can be used to recover some of the supplied drive energy back into the accumulator.
5. Electric-human power hybrid vehicle
Another form of hybrid vehicle are human power-electric vehicles. These include such
vehicles as the Sinclair C5, Twike, electric bicycles, and electric skateboards.

9. DRIVETRAIN
• A drivetrain is the collection of components that deliver power from a
vehicle’s engine or motor to the vehicle’s wheels. In hybrid-electric cars,
the drivetrain’s design determines how the electric motor works in
conjunction with the conventional engine. The drivetrain affects the
vehicle’s mechanical efficiency, fuel consumption, and purchasing price.
• Hybrids that use a series drivetrain only receive mechanical power from
the electric motor, which is run by either a battery or a gasoline-powered
generator. In hybrids with parallel drivetrains, the electric motor and
internal combustion engine can provide mechanical power
simultaneously. Series/parallel drivetrains enable the engine and electric
motor to provide power independently or in conjunction with one
another.
• Both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids have models with series,
parallel, and series/parallel drivetrains. Since battery-
electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles don’t have internal combustion
engines, they utilize different drivetrain assemblies (though some
components are shared).
10. TYPE OF DRIVETRAIN
1. Series drivetrain
2. Parallel drivetrain
3. Series/parallel drivetrain
11. SERIES DRIVETRAIN
• Series drivetrains are the simplest hybrid configuration. In a series hybrid,
the electric motor is the only means of providing power to the wheels. The
motor receives electric power from either the battery pack or from a
generator run by a gasoline engine. A computer determines how much of
the power comes from the battery or the engine/generator. Both the
engine/generator and the use of regenerative braking recharge the battery
pack.
• Series hybrids perform at their best during stop-and-go traffic, where
gasoline and diesel engines are inefficient. The vehicle’s computer can opt
to power the motor with the battery pack only, saving the engine for
situations where it’s more efficient.
• The engine is typically smaller in a series drivetrain because it only has to
meet certain power demands; the battery pack is generally more powerful
than the one in parallel hybrids in order to provide the remaining power
needs. This larger battery and motor, along with the generator, add to the
vehicle’s cost, making series hybrids more expensive than parallel hybrids.
12. PARALLEL DRIVETRAIN
• In vehicles with parallel hybrid drivetrains, the engine and electric
motor work in tandem to generate the power that drives the
wheels. Parallel hybrids tend to use a smaller battery pack than
series drivetrains, relying on regenerative braking to keep it
recharged. When power demands are low, parallel hybrids also
utilize the motor as a generator for supplemental recharging, much
like an alternator in conventional cars.
• Since the engine is connected directly to the wheels in parallel
drivetrains, the inefficiency of converting mechanical power to
electricity and back is eliminated, increasing the efficiency of these
hybrids on the highway. This reduces, but does not eliminate, the
efficiency benefits of having an electric motor and battery in stop-
and-go traffic.
13. SERIES/PARALLEL DRIVETRAIN
• Series/parallel drivetrains merge the advantages and complications
of the parallel and series drivetrains. By combining the two designs,
the engine can both drive the wheels directly (as in the parallel
drivetrain), and be effectively disconnected, with only the electric
motor providing power (as in the series drivetrain). The Toyota Prius
helped make series/parallel drivetrains a popular design.
• With gas-only and electric-only options, the engine operates at near
optimum efficiency more often. At lower speeds it operates more
as a series vehicle, while at high speeds, where the series drivetrain
is less efficient, the engine takes over and energy loss is minimized.
• This system incurs higher costs than a pure parallel hybrid since it
requires a generator, a larger battery pack, and more computing
power to control the dual system. Yet its efficiencies mean that the
series/parallel drivetrain can perform better—and use less fuel—
than either the series or parallel systems alone.
14. HYBRID CAR FEATURES
• The addition of a battery-powered electric motor increases the fuel
efficiency of hybrids in a number of ways.
• Like the switch that turns off your refrigerator's light bulb when the
door is closed, "idle-off" is a feature that turns off your car's
conventional engine when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel. The
battery provides energy for the air conditioner and accessories
while the vehicle idles at stoplights or in traffic, and the electric
motor can start the vehicle moving again. If needed, the
conventional engine will reengage to provide more power for
acceleration.
• "Regenerative braking" is another fuel-saving feature. Conventional
cars rely entirely on friction brakes to slow down, dissipating the
vehicle's kinetic energy as heat. Regenerative braking allows some
of that energy to be captured, turned into electricity, and stored in
the batteries. This stored electricity can later be used to run the
motor and accelerate the vehicle.
15. • Having an electric motor also allows for more efficient engine
design. This "power assist" feature helps reduce demands on a
hybrid’s gasoline engine, which in turn can be downsized and more
efficiently operated. The gasoline engine produces less power, but
when combined with electric motors, the system’s total power can
equal or exceed that of a conventional vehicle.
• The most efficient hybrids utilize "electric-only drive," allowing the
vehicle to drive entirely on electricity and use less fuel. In hybrids
that can't be plugged-in, electric-only drive is typically only utilized
at low speeds and startup, enabling the gas or diesel-powered
engine to operate at higher speeds, where it’s most efficient.. Most
plug-in hybrids—which tend to have larger batteries and motors—
can drive entirely on electricity at relatively high speeds for
extended distances (typically 10 to 30 miles).
• Different hybrids also use different types of "drivetrains," the
mechanical components that deliver power to the driving wheels.
