5 Explanation with diagram of typical drive cycle: (3+2 Marks). (5)
6 Explanation of major constraints: 5 marks. (5)
7 Explanation: 5 marks. (5)
8 Need for an energy management control system in an HEV: 4 Marks (5)
No, because no need to split energy sourcing. Hence only battery management is
needed. ( 1mark).

b) Diagram + explanation: (2+2) (4)
10 a) A vehicle with power plant power output at the drivetrain considering all losses (3)
is 100kW. The maximum total resistance the vehicle experiences is 3.6 kN.
Calculate the velocity the vehicle can achieve in km/h under this condition?
Velocity = Power/force. ( 3 marks)

PART D
Answer any two full questions, each carries 10 marks.
15 a) A hybrid electric vehicle has two sources- an ICE with output power of 80kW (6)
and battery storage. The battery storage is a 150 Ah, C10 battery at 120V.
Without de-rating the Ahr capacity, what is the maximum power that can be
transmitted to the wheels if the transmission efficiency is 95% and overall
efficiency of power converters and motor together is 98%.
Answer: (i). Battery energy = 150Ah* 120V = 18000Wh. (1 mark)
(ii). Power that can be supported without de-rating: 18000Wh/10h = 1800W
(1.5mark)
(iii). Electrical motor power output = 1800 *0.98 W (1.5 mark)
(iv). Total power supplied by transmission= (1800*0.98+80kW)*0.95 (2 mark).
