The Pollution Solution?
Outline
Introduction History Types Efficiencies Why Hybrids? Conclusions
Why Change?
Conventional emissions
• 1/3 of CO2 emissions worldwide
In urban areas• 40% of ozone• 80-90% of CO• 50-60% of other
toxins
Why Change?
A non-renewable resource
~80 years Gasoline prices
high
Not a New Idea
Electric vehicle First conceived of in mid-1800s Easier to start, more reliable Less range, harder to refuel
Hybrids One patented in 1905 One in Ford museum (~1910)
PNGV
The Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles – September 1993
Government and Industry partnership Reconcile the automobile with the
environment Ensure long-term competitiveness of the
automobile industry 80mpg car mid-sized sedan
Types: Fuel Cell
Advantages Less air pollution Greater efficiency
than ICEs Refillable
Disadvantages Expensive Not ready for
production (at least two more years testing)
Convert fuel directly to energy Proton-exchange fuel cell
Types: Fuel Cell
Types: Electric
Advantages Zero emission Use regenerative
braking Very quiet ride 1/10 as polluting as
ICEs (total)
Disadvantages Very heavy
(batteries) Low acceleration Limited range before
recharging
Run on rechargeable batteries
EV1– 1999 Model
Two-seater Battery = 2 gallons
of gas Range ~ 130 miles 0 to 60 mph in 9
seconds (that’s fast!) Cost reduction when
leased ($34,000 to buy)
97% fewer emissions total
Hybrids
“…at least one of the energy stores, sources, or converters can deliver electric energy” (Wouk, 1995)
Combine multiple types of energy production/storage units Flywheels Ultracapacitors
Hybrid electric
Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Advantages Optimises engine
performance No range problems
(engine charges batteries)
1/8 as polluting as ICEs (total)
Disadvantages Not 100% emission
free
Combines ICE and EV
Series Vs. Parallel
Series Vs. Parallel
Series Very efficient – long range with small
engine & generator Less powerfulParallel More powerful (feels like ICE) Smaller engine and motor – less
efficient
Toyota Prius
Combines series and parallel characteristics
$20,450 base price Seats five City/Highway mpg:
52/45 (double Camry)
Efficiency
Internal Combustion Engines Average power ~100kW, average used
during city driving ~7.5kW Efficiency of engine depends on load
Engines today – 30-40% thermal efficiency When idling/low load, 15% efficiency
Fuel evaporates
Efficiency
Electric Vehicles Power generation – 38% Power transmission – 94% Charge/discharge of battery – 55% Total efficiency ~ 55% (based on JSAE
review estimate)
Efficiency
Hybrid Electric Vehicles Operate gasoline engine at top
efficiency (see figure, next slide) Charge battery when vehicle is idling Overall efficiency ~70%
Efficiency of Gasoline Engine
Efficiency: Comparison
.4Walking
.2HEV carpool of four
.5ULEV-HEV car, 80mpg
.7Fuel cell, H2 from NG
.8EV, .295kWh/mi
1.71993 new car fleet
1.81985 new car fleet
3.51975 new car fleet
Energy consumption (kWh/mi) (total)
Method of Transportation
Why Hybrids?
Already in development Battery technology cannot produce
results at the moment Fuel cell technology too expensive Power of ICE (for same size vehicle)
Conclusions
80mpg goal of PNGV Tier II emission standards (.07 gpm
NOx, .02 gpm PM) Safe, average cost mid-sized sedan Improved technology – fuel cell,
batteries
