ARGONNE, Ill. (Nov. 30, 2007) – Researchers from Argonne National Laboratory's Transportation Technology R&D
Center (TTRDC) will present 11 papers during
the Electric
Vehicle Symposium-23 that will be held in Anaheim, Calif., from
Dec. 2-5.
Argonne is the lead U.S. Department of Energy laboratory for modeling, simulation,
benchmarking and testing for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Some of the
presentations will address how to determine PHEVs' ability to reduce gas consumption;
and how battery and electric machine components can impact a vehicle's energy
consumption.
"These papers represent leading efforts to objectively evaluate PHEVs
and PHEV technologies and their potential impact on energy use," said
Larry Johnson, director of the TTRDC. "Argonne
possesses world-class expertise and state-of-the-art tools and facilities and
is a definitive source for comprehensive dynamometer data on PHEVs."
The papers that will be presented at EVS-23 and their Argonne authors are:
- "Advanced lithium-ion batteries for plug-in hybrid-electric
vehicles," by Paul Nelson, Khalil Amine, Aymeric Rousseau and EnerDel
Corp.'s Hiroyuki Yomoto.
- "In-situ torque measurements in hybrid electric vehicles
powertrains," by Theodore Bohn, Michael Duoba and Richard Carlson.
- "Sorting through the many total-energy-cycle pathways
possible with early plug-in hybrids," by Linda Gaines, Andrew Burnham,
Aymeric Rousseau and Danilo Santini.
- "Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle control strategy parameter
optimization," by Aymeric Rousseau, Sylvain Pagerit and Tennessee
Tech University's David Gao.
- "PHEV 'all-electric range' and fuel economy in charge-sustaining
mode for low SOC operation of the JCS VL41 M Li-ion battery using battery
HIL," by
Neeraj Shidore, Theodore Bohn, Michael Duoba, Henning Lohse-Busch, and
Philip Sharer.
- "Plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles: How does one determine
their potential for reducing U.S. oil dependence?" by Anant Vyas,
Danilo Santini, Michael Duoba, and the Electric Power Research Institute's
Mark Alexander.
- "PHEV hymotion Prius model validation and control improvements," by
Qiandong Cao, Sylvain Pagerit, Richard Carlson, Aymeric Rousseau.
- "Where is the early market for PHEVs?" by Danilo
Santini.
- "On-road evaluation of advanced hybrid electric vehicles
over a wide range of ambient temperatures," by Richard Carlson, Michael
Duoba, Danny Bocci and Henning Lohse-Busch.
- "Impact of component size on plug-in hybrid vehicles energy
consumption using global optimization," by Dominik Karbowski, Chris
Haliburton and Aymeric Rousseau.
- "Test procedures and benchmarking: Blended-type and EV-capable
plug-in hybrid electric vehicles," by Michael Duoba, Richard Carlson
and Argonne co-op student Ji Wu.
Each of the papers will be available at www.transportation.anl.gov shortly
after they have been presented.
This year's symposium will provide information on how electric vehicles can
help business, reduce petroleum use and air pollution; highlight the latest
technological advancements and trends for electric vehicles; and illustrate
how transit authorities are taking the lead in adopting cost-effective electric-drive
technologies into their fleets.
Funding for TTRDC comes from the DOE Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Vehicle
Technologies Program.
