Depending on the application and specific use case, hybrid drives can be the optimal solution. Here, the advantages of the classic combustion engine are well combined with those of electrified powertrains. Here, we provide flanking modular and scalable solutions and, in particular, software functionality (technology modules) directly in the inverter.
Combination of combustion engine with electric motor directly or via a transmission (e.g. CVT)
A battery covers the power peaks, the combustion engine is designed for average power
The serial hybrid in particular is suitable for realization with a fuel cell in a subsequent step
We support you both in the dimensioning and in the safe control of the interactions of the high-voltage components.
Understanding your application and it´s special requirements
First dimensioning of all high-voltage components
Analyzing of power management and interactions of all high-voltage components
Analyzing of all exceptional working conditions of the system which must be covered
Designing the overall high-voltage system with all key-components
The available peak power and its fast and sensitive delivery can be frequently used to increase the real work output of the machine.
Several individual aspects lead to in part significantly lower fuel consumption. Electric braking of drives leads to partial recuperation of the energy used. And the combustion engine is operated with a uniform load and can be downzsized.
By leveling the load on the combustion engine, it not only works more economically, but also produces considerably fewer exhaust gases, which have to be eliminated by complex aftertreatment. This makes it easier to meet the applicable emissions standards.
Our VirtualSensorTechnology enables a deep insight into the electrically driven functions as well as into the work of the combustion engine via the generator function without any additional sensors. This high-resolution torque measurement forms the basis for a wide range of functions for both work processes and diagnostics.
In the first step, the leveled operation of the combustion engine facilitates its adaptation to new fuels. In subsequent steps, a solution with hydrogen and fuel cell can also be derived from a serial hybrid.
This is the concept of the serial hybrid drive. All drive functions are performed electrically with its advantages. Power is provided by an internal combustion engine with reduced size, reduced fuel consumption and improved exhaust gas values. Depending on further technical development, this solution can be further developed into combustion engines with new fuels, hydrogen with fuel cells or pure battery solutions.
This is the concept of the parallel hybrid drive. The advantage of this solution is that the electrical components can be designed for significantly lower power. Nevertheless, for the often numerous functional drives, one can take advantage of electrification and “boost” the main drive. Examples are electric PTO, swing motions, winches and more.
