Abstract

A hybrid propulsion system has been designed for an optional use in the Formula S2000, based on supercapacitive energy storage coupled to an ICE engine via a Synchronous PM machine. Because of the high level specification of the weight penalty in competition, the system has been modelled and designed from different aspects of the solicitation of the used elements. After the choice of the system concept and a first evaluation of the needed performance of the electromechanical machine and converter, the electric power constraint of the supercapacitive storage elements under given energy efficiency conditions has been evaluated, as well as the thermal conditions of use.

Electric machine

In electrical engineering, electric machine is a general term for machines using electromagnetic forces, such as electric motors, electric generators, and others. They are electromechanical energy converters: an electric motor converts electricity to mechanical power while an electric generator converts mechanical power to electricity. The moving parts in a machine can be rotating (rotating machines) or linear (linear machines).

Electric motor

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Electromechanics

In engineering, electromechanics combines processes and procedures drawn from electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Electromechanics focuses on the interaction of electrical and mechanical systems as a whole and how the two systems interact with each other. This process is especially prominent in systems such as those of DC or AC rotating electrical machines which can be designed and operated to generate power from a mechanical process (generator) or used to power a mechanical effect (motor).
