Dynamic Analysis and Various Mode Strategy Comparisons of the Two-Mode Hybrid Transmission

In 2007, a new hybrid electric vehicle was released by General Motor, which is called as Two-mode hybrid electric vehicle. The two-mode hybrid car is famous for its hybrid transmission, which contains two electric motors/generators, three planetary gear sets and four controlled clutches, and allows six different operation modes: two electrically variable transmission modes and four fixed-gear modes [. This paper analyzes the operating condition of the electric machines (Motors/generators) in each mode. And then, it presents three mode selection strategies in order to make a comparison of them.
