Simulation of a Pneumatic Hybrid Powertrain with VVT in GT-Power and Comparison with Experimental Data
(2009) SAE World Congress, 2009- Abstract
- In the study presented in this paper, experimental data from a pneumatic hybrid has been compared to the results from a simulation of the engine in GT-Power. The engine in question is a single-cylinder Scania D12 diesel engine, which has been converted to work as a pneumatic hybrid. The base engine model, provided by Scania, is made in GT-Power and it is based on the same engine configuration as the one used during real engine testing.
During pneumatic hybrid operation the engine can be used as a 2-stroke compressor for generation of compressed air during vehicle deceleration and during vehicle acceleration the engine can be operated as a 2-stroke air-motor driven by the previously stored pressurized air. There is also a... (More) - In the study presented in this paper, experimental data from a pneumatic hybrid has been compared to the results from a simulation of the engine in GT-Power.

The base engine model, provided by Scania, is made in GT-Power and it is based on the same engine configuration as the one used during real engine testing.
During pneumatic hybrid operation the engine can be used as a 2-stroke compressor for generation of compressed air during vehicle deceleration and during vehicle acceleration the engine can be operated as a 2-stroke air-motor driven by the previously stored pressurized air. There is also a possibility to use the stored pressurized air in order to supercharge the engine when there is a need for high torque, like for instance at take off after a standstill or during an overtake maneuver. Previous experimental studies have shown that the pneumatic hybrid is a promising concept and a possible competitor to the electric hybrid.
This paper consists mainly of two parts. The first one describes an attempt to recreate the real engine as a computer model with the aid of the engine simulation software GT-power. A model has been created and the results have been validated against real engine data. The second part describes a parametric study where different parameters and their effect on pneumatic hybrid performance have been investigated. (Less)
