A case study of starting power requirement: for Visteon Integrated Starter-Alternator system

Recently, Visteon has developed an Integrated Starter-Alternator (V-ISA) system. A prototype vehicle was built to gain the initial data on the starting power needed for a rapid and frequent engine start-stops, the feature that that does not deter driver's comfort yet enables substantial fuel saving and emission reduction. The test results are presented in this paper.
