Abstract

Todays vehicle industry is converging more and more to electrification of vehicles, introducing electrical architectures to cooperate side by side with the combustion engine. This paper investigates the potential of using an electric turbocharger in a long haulage application during highway driving. A charge sustainable control strategy is developed, implemented, tuned, and evaluated on a heavy duty truck model. The benefits of using an electrical turbocharger on a heavy duty diesel truck, from a long haulage perspective, are evaluated. By calibrating the implemented controller, long haulage driving routes can be charge sustainable and consume less fuel than a conventional truck with fix turbine geometry, the fuel savings for the simulated case is 0.9%.
