Simulation environment for the analysis of different hybrid powertrain configurations

Abstract

A powertrain must fulfil requirements regarding fuel consumption and exhaust emissions and at the same time must be economically viable and meet customer expectations. New concepts with a wide range of topologies are now in the focus of development, thus offering more degrees of freedom but at the same time increasing the time and cost required for analysis. A simulation environment, newly developed by Bertrandt, now makes it possible to analyse different powertrain configurations at an early stage.
