Modeling of a Novel Hybrid Drivetrain Based on Hybridized Ball Continuously Variable Transmission

To reduce the harmful effects of fuel based engines new technologies in automotive industries have introduced. Combination of novel ball continuously variable transmission and hybrid technologies with the advantages of optimum controlling of power sources in the vehicle are the main topic of this paper by preparing a model of transmission using GT-Suite software. In order to determine the operation and responses of the proposed transmission, different operational modes, along with different inputs in term of speed, torque and ratio are presented. This research successfully demonstrates a new type of transmission which is developed to enjoy the benefits of combining technologies in vehicle drivetrain that features high torque capacity and desirable drivability. Main achievement of this paper is to show the operational modes of this system as well as ability to mode alteration during vehicle operation. Various steady and transient modes are studied in this paper using multi body modeling and it shows HBCVT can eliminate most limitation of parallel hybrid systems.
