Air pollution, international warming, and the steady decrease in petroleum resources carry on to stimulate interest in the development of safe, clean, and highly effective transportation. Building on the foundation of the bestselling primary edition, Modern Electric, Hybrid Electric, and Fuel Cell Vehicles: Fundamentals, Theory, and Design, Second Edition updates and elaborates it is elaborate coverage of the vehicle technologies that offer the most promising solutions to these issues affecting the automotive industry.
Proven as a utile in-depth resource and comprehensive reference for innovative automotive systems engineers, students, and researchers, this book speaks from the perspective of the overall drive train system and not just it is person components
New to the second edition:
A case study appendix that breaks down the Toyota Prius hybrid system
Corrections and updates of the material in the introductory edition
Three new chapters on drive train design methodology and control principles
A wholly rewritten chapter on Fundamentals of Regenerative Braking
Employing sufficient mathematical rigor, the writers comprehensively cover vehicle performance characteristics, EV and HEV configurations, control strategies, modeling, and simulations for progressed vehicles.
They likewise cover topics including:
Drive train architecture analysis and design methodologies
The basi edition of this book gave practicing engineers and students a systematic reference to entirely grasp the necessities of this new technology. This edition introduces newer topics and offers deeper treatments than those included in the first. Revised a heap of times over galore years, it will primarily help engineers, students, researchers, and other masters who are working in automotive-related industries, as well as those in government and academia.
Review
… an outstanding occupation of updating and bettering what was already the world’s leading primary textbook on the topic. … The new edition couldn’t have come at a better time. … If hybrid R&D in the United States is moving beyond Michigan, it is due in part to the attempts of the three authors. … This book, and the courses based on it, could transform the design and system integration of vehicles. … —James Gover, IEEE Fellow and Professor of Electrical Engineering, Kettering University, Flint, Michigan, USA, in IEEE Spectrum, April 2010

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Oops, but satisfied By EmptyLim I tried this book in a course designed for senior students for the most part in mechanical technology even though it would have been better for graduate students. Had to skip numerous of the electric/electronic parts. It would give much help to those engineers who undertake to learn how to design EV or HEV.
