Recent environmental issues such as exhaust gas and greenhouse effect make the agricultural machinery market takes into account the hybrid and electric propulsion technology used in automotive engineering. Generally the agricultural machinery, particularly an agricultural tractor, needs large load capacity and long continuous operating time comparing with conventional vehicles. In case of a pure electric tractor, it is necessary for considering large capacity batteries and long charging time. Therefore we take an AER extended PHEV (All Electric Range extended Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) power transmission system in developing an electric tractor in this study. First we propose a PHEV powertrain structure in order to substitute the conventional diesel engine equipped tractor. And we performed the road tests using a conventional mechanical tractor with various load conditions, which were classified and statistically treated real agricultural works. The test results were analysed with respect to the power characteristics of the power source. Finally using the test result, we designed two-stepped reduction gear ratios in the proposed an electric tractor powertrain for carrying out typical agricultural works.

In order to control the hybrid power system efficiently, the knowledge for the required load of the system is important. The agricultural tractor performs various farm works such as plow, rotary, and baler. When it performs rotary tillage and baler operation, the generated work load is analyzed. To analyze trend of work load, moving average technique is applied to the measurement data. Optimal control inputs for the two works are obtained from simulation using the dynamic programming. The novel fundamental control strategy for parallel hybrid tractor called Max. SOC is proposed.

본 논문은 농작업 시 농업용 하이브리드 트랙터를 위한 토크 지원 전략을 제안한다. 일반적으로 농업용 트랙터는 베일러, 로타리 등 농작업 종류에 따라 필요한 토크의 크기가 다양하기 때문에 특수목적을 위하여 출력이 큰 트랙터가 필요할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 연비개선보다는 작은 모터를 사용하여 특정 농작업에 필요한 적절한 토크 지원을 수행함으로써 동일한 사이즈의 기존 트랙터보다 다양한 농작업을 좀 더 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 하이브리드 트랙터 개발을 목표로 한다. 이를 위한 토크 지원 전략을 제안하고 상용 차량 시뮬레이터인 Autonomie 를 기반으로 한 하이브리드 트랙터 모델을 이용하였다. 마지막으로 토크 어시스트 전략을 적용한 하이브리드 트랙터와 일반 트랙터에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 작업 효율과 연료 사용량을 검증하였다.

In order to select the seeding machine for mechanizing cultivation of rapeseed in southern areas of Korea, three different seeding machines, ridge rotary, power tiller ridge rotary, tractor ridge rotary were used for sowing one of the high yielding rapeseed cv. Hybrid with five different seeding methods. Seeding of ridge rotary was reduced the seeding effort with 45% and yield components such as plant height, ear length, number of branches and pods, pod length and seed setting rate were higher. The seeding of ridge rotary also was showed highest seed yield. On the basis of time requirement for seeding, vegetative and yield parameters ridge rotary seeding machine was a suitable seeding machine for rapeseed cultivation at the southern area of Korea.
