PARD HVA HEV Architectures A Micro HEV uses a combined starter / alternator system, to enable the engine to be turned off when the vehicle stops (e.g. at traffic lights), and to restart the engine. The electric machine can also act as a generator allowing some of the energy normally lost as heat during braking to be recovered and used to power auxiliary loads. This is known as regenerative braking. If the electric machine is used to assist the engine during periods of acceleration this is a Mild HEV Micro/Mild Hybrid train A Full Parallel HEV is capable of driving on electric power, engine power or a combination of the two. Full Parallel Hybrid train TTR Hybrid train A TTR HEV has two separate powertrains, only connected by the vehicle s kinetic energy (Through-The- Road).
PARD HVA HEV Architectures A Series HEV uses the electric drive to drive the vehicle, and the engine to either charge the batteries or to directly power the electric machine(s). It is capable of regenerative braking. Series Hybrid train HEV Generator Combined Hybrid train Generator A Combined HEV is capable of operating as a series HEV or a parallel HEV. Input split Hybrid train An Input split HEV uses a planetary gearset to split the engine s power between an electrical path and a direct mechanical linkage to the wheels. PS A more complex derivative of this is the Compound Coupled split HEV, which uses two planetary gearsets, improving efficiency and packaging of smaller electric machines. Generator
