Linear internal combustion engine-linear generator integrated system (LICELGIS)
is an innovative energy conversion device with the ability of converting
mechanical energy into electrical energy, which allows it to be a range extender
for hybrid vehicles. This article presents a fundamental analysis for the
steady-state operation of the LICELGIS, concentrating on electromagnetic force
and motion characteristics. Simple assumptions are made to represent ideal gases
instantaneous heat release and rejection. Based on assumptions, sensitivity
analysis is carried out for key factors of electromagnetic force. The
theoretical velocity model in mathematics is derived from analyzing the LICELGIS
theory model. It shows that fuel injection quantity and stroke length are the
most sensitive factors in key parameters. The piston velocity around the top
dead center (TDC) changes greater than that at any other position, which is
caused by the combustion process. The theoretical velocity model is sufficiently
accurate in the second half-stroke (the maximum of relative error is within
2.78%). This velocity model is used to develop a relevant control strategy based
on the piston velocity. Results are verified by a MATLAB/Simulink simulation
model, which is validated by an experimental prototype. This fundamental
analysis is useful for parameter selection and steady-state control of the
LICELGIS.
