Investigation on transient behavior and SoC balancing of a hybrid powertrain hand-held tool 2022-32-0025
A transient behavior investigation of a hybrid hand-held tool is carried out on near real load conditions, through a hybrid experimental and simulative study. As this study focuses on handheld tools with a varied or transient load operation like chainsaws and brush cutters, a use of a blower tool as a test-carrier and a throttle body implementation on its blower air pipe adds a controllable braking mechanism. This allows for driving varied load cycles without the need of a testbench. Experimental investigation takes place at both start-up, shut-down and load conditions and for different drive control and commutation modes of electric motor. The controller characterization and parameter selection are done. After the load cycles are driven on the test-carrier, the characterizing data are transferred to the MATLAB and Simulink simulation model to correct and calibrate its transient behavior. After proving the concept of a hybrid tool, different load cycles are examined for defining the energy management strategy. Finally, the energy storage system is characterized for the hybrid tool and the application-attached simulation model compares the reference tool with the hybrid one in terms of efficiency.
