The series hybrid system targeted in this study uses a reciprocating engine, a generator, and a battery as a main power source for the unmanned aerial vehicle. The generator is directly connected to the drive shaft of the reciprocating engine, and the operating characteristics of the reciprocating engine-generator set were confirmed through ground integration tests. In this study, based on the test results, a control logic is proposed an efficient use of the reciprocating engine-generator power and battery power. Also, the power variations of the reciprocating engine-generator and battery according to the logic were verified through simulation. As a result, it was confirmed that the engine-generator power supplied the power required for propulsion along with the battery power by the proposed control logic.

A series-hybrid power system was designed for quad-tilt prop UAV and the characteristics was analysed. The power system consists of a 4.5kW rotary engine-generator and a li-battery as power sources, a power controller manages the overall power and supplies to the vehicle system. The output power of the engine is to be matched with the generator performance considering mechanical driving loss and generating efficiency, and also loss for charging and discharging of the battery energy. It is applied that the constant speed operation of the engine-generator to minimize overall fuel consumption by integrating the generating power and the battery energy, consequentially the battery capacity and characteristics could be important factors for improvement of the system efficiency.

본 논문에서는 엔진, 발전기, 견인 전동기, 배터리, 전력 변환기로 구성된 직렬형 하이브리드 전기 자동차의 최적 효율 운전 및 통합 전력제어에 관해 논의한다. 제안된 시스템의 엔진은 최적 효율 운전을 위해 부하에 따라 가변속(Variable Speed) 운전되며, 속도를 가변하여도 필요한 전력을 순시적으로 제어할 수 있다. 또한 자동차가 요구하는 다양하고 순시적인 전력의 변동에 대응할 뿐만 아니라 엔진의 연료 효율 및 배터리의 수명을 고려하여 엔진과 배터리의 전력을 적절히 분배하여 공급할 수 있는 통합 전력제어 방법에 관해서도 논의한다. 제안된 통합 전력제어 알고리즘의 유용성은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

Aircraft battery is the core equipment of an aircraft that supplies engine starting power and emergency power, and it must be charged to ensure sufficient capacity at all times and maintain high reliability to ensure stable power supply. The battery of the T-50 series aircraft is designed to enable the engine to start up to two times in temperatures as low as -18℃ and above. However, intermittent failures in engine starting have been observed during winter. In this paper, we analyze the failure phenomena occurring during low-temperature charging of the battery and improve the charging algorithm based on the analysis and test. Additionally, the results of start simulation tests show that the battery charging defects at low temperatures are resolved, and an improvement in the charging performance is confirmed; thus, validating the effectiveness of the new algorithm.

플러그인 하이브리드카(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle: PHEV)는 가정이나 건물의 전기를 이용하여 외부에서 충전한 배터리의 전기동력으로 주행하다가 배터리 방전 시 일반 하이브리드카처럼 내연기관 엔진과 배터리의 전기동력을 동시에 사용하여 운행하는 자동차이다. 자동차 업체들은 전기자동차 보급에 가장 큰 걸림돌인 높은 배터리 가격이 낮아진다고 해도 짧은 주행거리 문제가 해결되지 않기 때문에, 대안으로 전원을 직접 연결해 배터리를 충전할 수 있는 플러그인 하이브리드카 개발에 주력하고 있다.

This paper is to analyze and study the cause of fire examples produced because of short phenomenon by electric connecting damage and contacting engine over-heating with combustible materials in engine room of vehicle. In the first example, it knew the fact that the fire produced by contacting with body of vehicle because of loosed of bracket bolt for wire fixing that installed on the transmission case the battery power cable supply the power from battery of engine room to starting motor. In the second example, it certified the fire by short phenomenon because of insulation tape melting wound wiring lined from battery to starting motor. In the third example, it sought for fire's cause that melting phenomenon the wire coating by overheated engine as the wire disconnected with connector by the vibration. Therefore, the fire of system including engine electric made in the danger the people in the car by failure of engine and other system. And than, the car's driver must manage and examine a vehicle conscientiously.

I am designing a research paper with the aim of studying hybrid vehicles. Hybrid vehicles, as the next-generation automobiles, feature a combination of internal combustion engines and battery engines, resulting in a revolutionary reduction in fuel consumption and harmful gas emissions compared to conventional vehicles. The electric motor in hybrid cars derives power from a high-voltage battery installed within the vehicle, which is recharged during vehicle motion. In contrast to traditional cars, which often experience energy losses due to idling caused by traffic congestion, hybrid systems optimize efficiency by skillfully managing the interplay between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor. This approach effectively addresses the inherent drawbacks of gasoline or diesel engines.Hybrid cars offer an array of benefits, including improved fuel efficiency, environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and reduced noise emission. Consequently, they are progressively becoming a favored alternative among a growing number of individuals. This research endeavor has the potential to contribute towards curbing environmental pollution and dedicating efforts to future automotive research.
