Atmospheric Pollution Strict Emission Gas Regulation CARB EURO Low Pollution Vehicle Ratio Regulation Environmentally Friendly Vehicles Global Warming Energy Crisis High Efficiency Power-train / Development of alternative energy New Concept Power-train - Electricity: Electric Vehicle, Fuel Cell Vehicle - Hybrid: HEV, Fuel Cell HEV Hybrid Electric Vehicle / Electric Vehicle / Fuel Cell Vehicle Global automotive companies are making significant investments in developing new concept automobiles that deliver high efficiency output with low emission This trend is in line with worldwide efforts to develop alternative energy in preparation for depleting petroleum resources, as well as to reduce CO2 emission with strict environmental pollution regulations that call for reduced NOx and measures against global warming The world faces depletion of fossil fuel energy resources in the 21 st Century, and with increasing concern about global warming, there is an urgent need to develop vehicles that have reduced carbon dioxide emission and conform to the emission control regulations pertaining to nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon The state of California has forced major automobile manufacturers to produce a minimum of 2% of all vehicles as pollution-free automobiles Such strict regulation is anticipated to spread throughout America And the gasoline-powered vehicles is anticipated to fade into the history by 2030 Encouragingly, the market for hybrid vehicles is increasing and is forecast to account for 24% of the entire automobile market by 2010, a figure increasing to almost 50% by 2030 Such reality is causing the global automotive industry to focus on hybrid vehicles with dual power sources as the next generation of automobiles Developing hybrid vehicles is not an option but a necessity for automobile manufacturers to ensure a sustainable future with ever strengthening environmental regulations worldwide Chapter Introduction of TF HEV 1.2 What is HEV? Electric Motor / Battery Gasoline Engine / Diesel Engine + A Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is a vehicle driven by power sources (a combustion engine and high voltage battery) It is equipped with, and utilizes, a combination of a gasoline engine and electric motor, or a diesel engine and electric motor Usually, a combination of gasoline engine and electric motor is used In general, the term “Hybrid” means the combination of two different objects to create something new Therefore, the HEV can be defined as a vehicle that utilizes power from both the engine and the motor to achieve higher fuel efficiency - Power sources are used (Combustion engine + Electric motor) - Increased fuel economy - Reduced emission Memo Chapter Introduction of TF HEV 1.3 Types of HEV (by structure) Parallel

R2 Wheel - Toyota: Prius, Camry, RX400h, Highlander - Ford: Escape, Mariner - GM: Tahoe, Yukon - Benz: ML450 Let’s learn about the common hybrid types They are the parallel-type and the power-split type Parallel-Type In the case of the parallel-type, the engine and drive shaft are mechanically connected so the system requires a transmission It has the benefit of accommodating a small capacity drive motor The paralleltype is categorized as the Flywheel Mounted Electric Device (FMED) type and the Transmission Mounted Electric Device (TMED) type depending on the mounting position of the motor In the case of the FMED type, the motor is mechanically connected to the engine and the system executes engine start, engine power assist and regenerative braking functions This type, however, makes it structurally impossible for electric drive mode It is also known as a mild or soft type hybrid system Vehicles using the FMED type include Honda Civic/Accord, Hyundai Accent/HD Elantra, and KIA Rio/Forte In contrast, the motor in the TMED type is directly connected to the transmission and is separated from the engine There is a clutch between the engine and the motor This separation allows electric drive mode As the TMED type allows electric drive mode, it has higher fuel efficiency than the FMED type A system that has electric drive mode capability is also known as a full or hard type hybrid system It uses existing transmission and investment cost is therefore lower However, it does require precision control Also, because the motor and engine are separated, the TMED type requires an additional starter to start the engine while the vehicle is in motion The TMED type is utilized in Kia Optima, Peugeot, Volks Wagon, Audi, and Porsche hybrid Power Split Type The power split type, which is also known as the Toyota Hybrid System (THS) (because it was first developed by Toyota), connects the engine and motors via planetary gear sets It uses planetary gears and motor control instead of transmission to control the vehicle speed As the power split type Chapter Introduction of TF HEV allows electric drive mode, it is a full type hybrid Although it has the drawback of requiring a highcapacity motor, it boasts efficiency and outstanding driving stability Toyota, Ford, GM, BMW, and Mercedes utilize the power split type in their hybrid vehicles 1.4 Comparison of Mild Type and Full Type Start Coasting Accelerate/Uphi ll Decelerate Stop Engine+Motor Engine Engine+Motor Inertia Energy Battery Charge Engine Auto Stop [Mild(Soft) type] Start Coasting (low-speed) Motor Coasting (high speed) Accelerate/ Uphill Motor+Engine Decelerate Stop Inertia Energy Battery Charge Engine Auto Stop [Full(Hard) type] The differentiating criteria of the mild type and the full type are whether the hybrid vehicle can drive with only electric motor power and without the need for the engine In the case of the mild type, which does not support electric drive mode, both the motor and the engine power are used during startup However the vehicle runs by the engine without motor assist when less loaded such as coasting driving In cases of acceleration or highly engine loaded such as in uphill driving, the motor supports the engine power When the vehicles brakes, the generated heat energy is transformed into electricity by the motor and stored in the battery This process is also known as regenerative braking When the vehicle comes to a stop, the engine is also stopped to conserve fuel This is known as idle stop In the case of the full type, the vehicle is driven only by the electric motor during startup and low speed Chapter Introduction of TF HEV 1.5 Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) System Cat Stru ctur e Conventional Vehicle Hybrid Electric Vehicle Plug-In Hybrid Battery Battery Battery Engine Engine Gas Battery Electric Motor Electric Motor Engine Electric Vehicle Gas Gas Electric Motor Pow er Sou rce Engine Engine+Motor Engine+Motor Motor Fuel Gasoline Gasoline Electricity, Gasoline Electricity Hybrid vehicles are more widely used for their environmentally friendliness However, the engine on hybrid vehicles are not being used efficiently and a large amount of electric energy is lost during the conversion and storing process The PHEV, which many automobile manufacturers are recently turning to, eliminates energy loss during the energy conversion process and utilizes existing efficient engines The Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle is a hybrid vehicle with an added electric plug to charge the battery using general household electricity This represents a midpoint before complete migration to electric vehicles Compared to general hybrid vehicles, the Plug-in Hybrid has a longer battery and motor driving distance It is therefore highly efficient in terms of fuel consumption and emission gas This vehicle can travel approximately 30 miles on a single charge, and it uses regular diesel or gasoline fuel for farther distances Many major automobile makers forecast that the global hybrid vehicle market will grow to over 40 million vehicles annually by 2020, and most believe that the majority of these hybrids will be Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles

uses a battery current check circuit which shuts off electric current in case of over-charge A 12 volt blower air cooling system is used to maintain optimal battery temperature by passing cool air through the battery case The Battery Management System module is contained inside the battery case and maintains the optimal performance of the high voltage battery The BMS measures the current, voltage and temperature of the battery and estimates the high voltage battery stage of charge It controls the battery cooling fan to maintain optimal battery operation temperature and performs the cell balancing control which minimizes voltage deviation of each cell during battery charging and discharging In addition, if a system fault occurs, the BMS turns off the high-voltage relay to protect hybrid system from the high voltage In addition, active protection devices such as the power relay assembly and fuse are used to improve reliability and durability 13 Chapter Introduction of TF HEV 2.6 Motor Control Unit (MCU) or Inverter MCU = Inverter + Converter Inverting AC Motor DC MCU High voltage battery Converting HSG The MCU has an inverter feature that transforms direct current to

Hybrid Electric Vehicle Conventional Vehicle Alternator Batter y Electric load High voltage battery (270V) Inverter (MCU) LDC Aux Battery(12V) Electric load In conventional vehicles, an alternator is used to supply 12-volt power to electric devices and charge the battery while the engine is running But in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, the LDC transforms the electric power from the high-voltage battery to 12 V and supplies power to electric devices and the auxiliary battery Because the LDC is used, there is no alternator on the HEV and not additional engine load - Converting 270 DC voltage to 12V DC voltage - Charging the 12V auxiliary battery (Alternator is removed) 15 Chapter Introduction of TF HEV Memo 2.8 Active Air Flap (AAF) - Reduced air resistance according to the driving condition -
