Air pollution, global warming, and the steady decrease in petroleum resources continue to stimulate interest in the development of safe, clean, and highly efficient transportation. Building on the foundation of the bestselling first edition, Modern Electric, Hybrid Electric, and Fuel Cell Vehicles: Fundamentals, Theory, and Design, Second Edition updates and expands its detailed coverage of the vehicle technologies that offer the most promising solutions to these issues affecting the automotive industry.
Proven as a useful in-depth resource and comprehensive reference for modern automotive systems engineers, students, and researchers, this book speaks from the perspective of the overall drive train system and not just its individual components
New to the second edition:
Employing sufficient mathematical rigor, the authors comprehensively cover vehicle performance characteristics, EV and HEV configurations, control strategies, modeling, and simulations for modern vehicles.
They also cover topics including:
The first edition of this book gave practicing engineers and students a systematic reference to fully understand the essentials of this new technology. This edition introduces newer topics and offers deeper treatments than those included in the first. Revised many times over many years, it will greatly aid engineers, students, researchers, and other professionals who are working in automotive-related industries, as well as those in government and academia.
good presentation, solid fundamentalsReviewed by J. Heston, 2008-05-13
a great book while learning about vehicle and engine characteristics, to then further expand on hybrid and electric vehicle applications
Modern Electric, Hybrid Electric, and Fuel Cell Vehicles:
Fundamentals, Theory, and DesignReviewed by Hsu Yen Wei, 2007-03-26
It is a good textbook for studying electric vehicle and
correspondence. It has paid much attention to explain the designing
issues of an electric vehicle and tried to figure out what problems
they are.
Good understanding for an electric vehicle.
System Design, not Component DesignReviewed by Ronald W. Satz, 2007-01-28
There is a dearth of books on hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles, so
this book is welcome. However, the equations are not detailed
enough for actual component design. There are no Simulink block
diagrams, for instance, so a reader will be unable to do his own
simulations directly from this book. The book is useful, though,
for deriving the large scale parameters for a hybrid
gasoline-electric vehicle or fuel cell-electric vehicle (power
plant size, peak power source size, etc.) The worst chapter is
Chapter 6, Electric Propulsion Systems. The authors throw numerous
equations at the reader (for the various type of electric
motor-generators), but with the symbols defined after the
equations, and without any real derivation. Actual block diagrams
(with real values) are not provided--so how is an automotive
engineer supposed to use this material?
I've got other complaints. Chapter 3, Internal Combustion Engines,
doesn't even discuss the Atkinson cycle--the one most commonly used
in hybrid vehicles. (And of course the Satz engine, the most
efficient engine ever designed, is not mentioned.) I was also
expecting detailed descriptions of the Toyota Prius and Ford
Escape/Mercury Mariner Hybrid drivetrains--no such luck, although
this book is copyrighed 2005. The CVT discussion is minimal (there
is on p. 135 a simple block diagram for the Prius drive
train)--there should have been a detailed analysis and synthesis of
eCVT, etc.
And another thing: the English in the book is substandard. I
realize that for the foreign authors English is a second language,
but still the CRC editors should have caught the many mistakes. For
the next edition, please clean up the English and provide detailed
Simulink diagrams, then I'll recommend it.
