Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle powertrain with a flywheel-based short-term energy storage system (SESS), including control and design optimization for a hybrid electric vehicle with the flywheel as a third energy storage system. The powertrain comprises three different propulsion systems including: an internal combustion engine (ICE); an electric motor (EM) with battery; and a flywheel and continuously variable transmission (CVT) that comprise the SESS.
