  1. 16. Control induction motor by frequency converter : Simulation electric vehicle

    University essay from Energiteknik

    Author : Jan Druyts; [2010]
    Keywords : electric vehicle; inverter; converter; induction motor; rectifier;

    Abstract : Summary  Today we are probably on a point of change for the car industry. The last century was the century of vehicles with internal combustion engines. Fossil fuels were relative cheap, easy accessible and they have a high specific energy. The pollution and dependency on oil caused the last decade an increasing demand for alternatives. READ MORE

  3. 17. An Investigation of Maximum Brake Torque Timing based on Ionization Current Feedback

    University essay from Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Janek Magnusson; [2007]
    Keywords : MBT timing; maximum brake torque; spark advance; PPP; tändningstidpunkt; maximalt arbete; MBT; jonström; jonströmsåterkoppling; PPP;

    Abstract : For every operating condition of an internal combustion engine there exists an optimal spark timing, called maximum brake torque (MBT), which maximises the output torque and the efficiency of the engine. Traditionally MBT timing is implemented as an open-loop control where the ignition timing is found by using a combination of static lookup tables and sensor information. READ MORE

  4. 18. Recognizing Combustion Variability for Control of Gasoline Engine Exhaust Gas Recirculation using Information from the Ion Current

    University essay from Sektionen för Informationsvetenskap, Data– och Elektroteknik (IDE)

    Author : Anna Holub; Jie Liu; [2006]
    Keywords : Internal combustion engines; ion current; exhaust gas recirculation; engine control; neural networks; K-nearest neighbour; combustion variability;

    Abstract : The ion current measured from the spark plug in a spark ignited combustion engine is used as basis for analysis and control of the combustion variability caused by exhaust gas recirculation. Methods for extraction of in-cylinder pressure information from the ion current are analyzed in terms of reliability and processing efficiency. READ MORE
