Abstract
This study investigated a micro turbine generator (MTG) as a range extender for a series hybrid electric vehicle application for a range of constant and dynamic power demand strategies. The power demands were calculated through a mathematical model based on a specific vehicle platform using the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC). The power demands were then used to characterize the MTG in a controlled test environment. Each of the strategies produced interesting results in terms of fuel consumption, specific emissions, net efficiency, and power responses. The experimental results revealed the lowest specific emissions, and fuel consumption while the MTG operated at constant power demand. One of the dynamic power demand strategies also produced low fuel consumption, but with higher specific emissions. Although exhaust emissions in each strategy were well below the Euro 6c limits. These results indicate the potential of MTG as a range extender in a series hybrid vehicle. Even, the MTG can be operated dynamically with relatively low fuel consumption and very low specific emissions, compared to the traditional approach of a constant power demand.
