In the case of mobile applications, energy can be saved by two different ways: decreasing the total masse of the system and increasing the efficiency of the overall system. This paper presents two optimization strategies to design a predefined multichannel structure of a boost converter which is dedicated to a solar airplane and used to interface PV panels and the battery system. The first strategy is a multi-criterion method that is able to trace the dependency between the converter's efficiency and its power density through the intermediary of the Pareto front. The second method, a mono-criterion approach, maximizes efficiency while respecting the constraint imposed on power density. The mono-criterion method that is applied to maximizing the European efficiency criterion showed that an increase in the number of channels enhanced the quantity of energy collected over a day by increasing the power density of the converter. At the end of the paper, the optimal design calculated was built to give an example of the result obtained by this design methodology. The results of the efficiency measurements made on a realized prototype are presented in this paper.展开更多

The combined matching principle considering swallowing capacity of both charging turbine and power turbine, main gear ratio is investigated at first based on the analysis of individual influence. Then the effects and strategies of CVT and power turbine bypass valve are studied for better performance under off-design conditions. At last, the transient response of intake pressure of engine with CMTC system is researched and the fuel saving potential is tested under driving cycle conditions. The results indicate that the overall fuel efficiency elevates at the off-design conditions if CVT is adopted due to the improvement of power turbine operating efficiency by speed modulation. The diversion of exhaust through power turbine bypass valve under the low load condition is necessary. The back pressure of the charging turbine infuences the transient response of intake pressure for a fixed CMTC configuration. A method featured by the assistance of power turbine bypass valve is tested to improve the transient response of the intake pressure. The fuel consumption reduces by 2% and 3.4% under highway fuel economy test(HWFET) and Tianjin 503(TJ503) driving cycles respectively.展开更多
