Hybrid electric vehicles have applied electric parts for saving fuel consumption and reducing levels of environmental pollution. Electrification of automobiles is indispensable for entering into global market because of enhanced environment restriction. ISG (Integrated Starter & Generator) system is one of main electric parts and can improve fuel efficiency more than other components by using Idle Stop & Go function and regenerative braking system. However, if ISG motor and inverter work under the continuously high load condition, it will make them the decrease of performance and durability. So the ISG motor and inverter need to properly design the cooling system of them. In this study, we suggested the enhancement points by modifying the thermal design of ISG motor and then confirmed the improvement of the cooling performance.

In this paper, a motor control algorithm for performing a mode change without an integrated starter generator (ISG) is suggested for the automatic transmission-based hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Dynamic models of the HEV powertrains such as engine, motor, and mode clutch are derived for the transient state during the mode change, and the HEV performance simulator is developed. Using the HEV performance bench tester, the characteristics of the mode clutch torque are measured and the motor torque required for the mode clutch synchronization is determined. Based on the dynamic models and the mode clutch torque, a motor torque control algorithm is presented for mode changes, and motor control without the ISG is investigated and compared with the existing ISG control.

Hybrid electric vehicles(HEV) combined with more than one power sources have great potential to improve fuel economy and reduce pollutant emissions. The Integrated Starter Generator(ISG) HEV researched in this paper is a two energy sources vehicle, with a conventional internal combustion engine(ICE) and an energy storage system(batteries). In order to investigate the potential of diesel engine hybrid electric vehicles in fuel economy improvement and emissions reduction, a Dynamic Programming(DP) based supervisory controller is developed to allocate the power requirement between ICE and batteries with the objective of minimizing a weighted cost function over given drive cycles. A fuel-economy-only case and a fuel & emissions case can be achieved by changing specific weighting factors. The simulation results of the fuel-economy-only case show that there is a 45.1% fuel saving potential for this ISG HEV compared to a conventional transit bus. The test results present a 39.6% improvement in fuel economy which validates the simulation results. Compared to the fuel-economy-only case, the fuel & emissions case further reduces the pollutant emissions at a cost of 3.2% and 4.5% of fuel consumption with respect to the simulation and test result respectively.

최근 EV(Electric Vehicle), PHEV(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), HEV(Hybrid Electric Vehicle) 등 친환경 차량의 개발 및 출시가 진행되고 있고 이들 친환경 차량의 궁극적 목적은 엔진과 배터리 혹은 배터리 단독 사용에 의한 고연비, 배기가스 배출 저감 등을 목적으로 하고 있다. 하지만 기존 내연기관 차량과 비교시 차량가격이 높게 형성되어 시장 활성화는 다소 시간이 소요될 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 친환경 차량 기술은 신차에만 국한되어 적용되고 있고 현재 도로상에서 운행중인 대부분의 차량은 기존의 저연비, 다량의 배기가스 배출문제를 여전히 내포하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대한 대안으로 기존의 차량 보조배터리에 지능형 배터리 센서(IBS, Intelligent Battery Sensor)를 장착하고 이를 통해 ISG(Idle Stop&Go)을 수행하는 Mild HEV 형태의 차량이 개발되고 있다.

하이브리드 자동차의 Integrated Starter & Generator (ISG)는 기동 시 높은 토크를 발생시키면서 진동과 소음을 동반한다. 이러한 진동 및 소음은 차량의 품질 확보를 위하여 최소화 시켜야 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 매입형 영구자석 동기 전동기로 설계된 ISG의 진동 및 소음 저감에 관한 연구에 대하여 다룬다. ISG의 진동 및 소음 저감을 위하여 회전자 코어의 형상 최적설계, 슬롯 수 변경설계 그리고 회전자의 step skew를 적용시켜 각각의 설계방법이 ISG의 진동 및 소음에 미치는 영향을 해석과 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

To cope with automobile exhaust gas regulations, ISG (Idling Stop & Go) and charging control systems are applied to HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) for the purpose of improving fuel economy. These systems require quick charge/discharge performance at high current. To satisfy this characteristic, improvement of the positive electrode plate is studied to improve the charge/discharge process and performance of AGM(Absorbent Glass Mat) lead-acid batteries applied to ISG automotive systems. The bonding between grid and A.M (Active Material) can be improved by applying the Sand-Blasting method to provide roughness to the surface of the positive grid. When the Sand-Blasting method is applied with conditions of ball speed 1,000 rpm and conveyor speed 5 M/min, ideal bonding is achieved between grid and A.M. The positive plate of each condition is applied to the AGM LAB (Absorbent Glass Mat Lead Acid Battery); then, the performance and ISG life characteristics are tested by the vehicle battery test method. In CCA, which evaluates the starting performance at -18 ℃ and 30 ℃ with high current, the advanced AGM LAB improves about 25 %. At 0 ℃ CA (Charge Acceptance), the initial charging current of the advanced AGM LAB increases about 25 %. Improving the bonding between the grid and A.M. by roughening the grid surface improves the flow of current and lowers the resistance, which is considered to have a significant effect on the high current charging/discharging area. In a Standard of Battery Association of Japan (SBA) S0101 test, after 300 A discharge, the voltage of the advanced AGM LAB with the Sand-Blasting method grid was 0.059 V higher than that of untreated grid. As the cycle progresses, the gap widens to 0.13 V at the point of 10,800 cycles. As the bonding between grid and A.M. increases through the Sand Blasting method, the slope of the discharge voltage declines gradually as the cycle progresses, showing excellent battery life characteristics. It is believed that system will exhibit excellent characteristics in the vehicle environment of the ISG system, in which charge/discharge occurs over a short time.
