  1. 31. Performance assessment of a hybrid electric-powered long-range commercial airliner

    University essay from KTH/Aerodynamik

    Author : Thomas Zöld; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Despite the recent increase in the amount of smaller electric general aviation aircrafts, a fully electric airliner is not likely to fly in the near future. Partially inspired by the automotive industry’s success with the hybrid car, this thesis investigated the feasibility of an electric-hybrid propulsion system for an Airbus A340-600 on a long-haul flight and its effect on the aircraft’s performance.

  3. 32. Feasibility of Introducing Hybrid Buses in Bus Rapid Transit Systems in Latin America: The Case of Transmilenio Bogota

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Miguel Sebastian Lema Dimate; [2012]
    Keywords : low carbon transportation technologies; bus rapid transit; Hybrid electric buses; sustainable transportation.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems have been recognized around the world by combining the advantages of urban rail transit systems with the flexibility and low cost of conventional bus systems. Although its introduction in different cities has helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, one of the major criticisms for these systems is that buses are usually powered by diesel, which is a pollutant and non-renewable energy source.

  4. 33. Development of a hybrid PIC code for the simulation of plasma spacecraft interactions

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Matthieu Masselin; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Electric propulsion is gaining popularity in space industry. This type of propulsion is replacing chemical propulsion for different maneuvers. But it deeply modifies the ambient plasma that surrounds the satellites and can affect the operation of satellites. Modelling the interactions arising from electric propulsion is then critical.

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This text as a part of the master thesis, describes the propulsion of electric vehicles. In the context of this thesis, there is a study made that gives an overview of the market of electric and hybrid electric vehicles in Europe. READ MORE

  6. 35. Power Sources for Hybrid Electric Vehicles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Stefan Skoog; [2009]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis has been carried out to investigate a few areas concerning electric and hybrid electric powered land vehicles. The main objective has been to analyze the efficiency of such power trains to compare them with canonical combustion engines, both in a tank-to-wheels basis and a well-to-wheels basis. READ MORE
