Controller-Based Potential Energy Gain Analysis for Vehicle Suspension Systems

Öz

Interest in electric and hybrid electric vehicles is increasing rapidly. This interest is driven by the need to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions. Given the significant direct impact of transportation on air pollution and global warming, the transition to electric vehicles has the potential to significantly reduce these harmful emissions. Electric and hybrid electric vehicles are widely supported for a cleaner and more sustainable future. Energy optimization in these vehicles is crucial as it directly affects their range. Energy recovery in vehicles is vital for increasing energy efficiency, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and consequently, minimizing environmental impact. The regenerative suspension system enhances energy harvesting capabilities, making vehicles more sustainable and environmentally friendly. In this study, energy analysis under active control of the vehicle suspension system is discussed in detail under different road and vehicle conditions. In the research firstly an optimal controller is developed for the suspension system to enhance passenger comfort by reducing the effects of road roughness. Furthermore, energy recovery was simulated and analyzed under this controller to investigate the effect of different conditions on potential energy gain.

Öz

Günümüzde elektrikli ve hibrit elektrikli araçlara olan ilgi yükselen bir ivme ile artmaktadır. Bu araçlara olan ilginin temelinde gerek iklim değişikliğiyle mücadele ve gerekse de karbon emisyonlarının azaltılması önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Ulaşımın hava kirliliğine ve küresel ısınmaya ciddi oranda doğrudan etkilediği düşünüldüğünde, elektrikli araçlara geçiş bu zararlı emisyonları önemli ölçüde azaltabilecektir. Daha temiz ve daha sürdürülebilir bir gelecek için elektrikli ve hibrit elektrikli araçlar geniş çapta desteklenmektedir. Bu araçlardaki enerji optimizasyonu konusu direk olarak menzil değerini etkilediğinden oldukça önemli hale gelmiştir. Araçlarda enerji geri kazanımı, enerji verimliliğini artırmak ve fosil yakıtlara olan bağımlılığı azaltmak dolayısıyla da çevresel etkiyi azaltmak için hayati önem taşır. Enerji geri kazanımlı süspansiyon sistemi, araçtaki enerji toplama yeteneğini artırarak araçları daha sürdürülebilir ve çevre dostu hale getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada araç süspansiyon sistemlerinde aktif bir kontrolcü altında, kazanılabilecek enerji analizi detaylı olarak farklı yol ve araç koşullarında ele alınmıştır. Araştırmada ilk olarak farklı yol profillerinin yolcu konforuna etkisini azaltan süspansiyon sistemi için optimal bir kontrolcü tasarlanmıştır. Ayrıca, bu kontrolcü altında enerji geri kazanımı simüle edilip, analizi yapılarak farklı koşulların potansiyel enerji kazanımı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir.
