  1. 26. Hydrostatic transmission in wind turbines : Development of test platform

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Joel Rapp; Jonatan Turesson; [2015]
    Keywords : Wind turbine; Hydrostatic transmission; Test platform; Maximum power tracking; Hydraulic system;

    Abstract : This master thesis project is a part of a larger project with the goal of develop-ing a drivetrain, utilizing a hydrostatic transmission, for horizontal axis mid-sizewind turbines. Some of the benefits from using a hydrostatic transmission are thata variable speed operation is possible without the use of a frequency converter,the generator may be placed on the ground and thus reduce weight in the nacelleand also using hydraulic components can increase lifetime and robustness of thesystem.

  3. 27. Crank Angle Based Virtual Cylinder Pressure Sensor in Heavy-Duty Engine Application

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Mikael Gustafsson; [2015]
    Keywords : CLCC; in-cylinder pressure; cylinder separation; torsion.;

    Abstract : The in-cylinder pressure is an important signal that gives information about the combustion process. To further improve engine performance, this information can be used as a feedback signal in a control system. Usually a pressure sensor is mounted in the cylinder to extract this information.

  4. 28. Analysis and simulation of centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers

    University essay from KTH/MWL Marcus Wallenberg Laboratoriet

    Author : Emma Smith; [2015]
    Keywords : CPA; Adams Car; drivetrain simulations; epicycloid; tuning;

    Abstract : When environmental laws are constricted and downsizing of engines has become the reality of the vehicle industry, there needs to be a solution for the rise in torsion vibrations in the drivetrain. These increased levels of torsion vibrations are mostly due to excitations from the firing pulses, which in turn have become increased due to higher cylinder pressures. READ MORE

  5. 29. Drivetrain Modelling and Clutch Temperature Estimation in Heavy Duty Trucks

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Johan Thornblad; [2014]
    Keywords : Drivetrain; Modelling; Clutch; Temperature; Estimation; EKF;

    Abstract : An existing drivetrain model with clutch temperature dynamics has been used to simulate the behaviour of a heavy duty truck. During the implementation of the model in MATLAB/Simulink modularity and simplicity was greatly emphasized. READ MORE

  6. 30. Optimization of a Predictive Drive Strategy for a Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle : Optimierung der vorausschauenden Antriebssteuerung bei einem Plug-In Hybrid

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

    Author : Bastian Gindroz; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As the world’s natural resources are depleting while the environment constraints on society become om- nipresent, new technological alternatives for transports are sought. Over the past years, the regulations in terms of pollutants stimulated the industries’ innovation in almost all regions of the world, using directives such as the European emission standards have managed to limit the carbon dioxide emissions up to 82% between Euro 1 and Euro 4.
