Hybrid drives for automotive application are extensively discussed. In contrast, the company HEINZMANN, the University of Karlsruhe and the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg concentrate on hybrid drives for industrial, offroad purposes in a joint project. These applications promise a much higher fuel saving potential, particularly if highly frequent load cycles are present. Hybrid drive systems offer additional advantages including reduced exhaust aftertreatment requirements due to engine downsizing, better engine dynamics, emissions and noise reduction.
The presented paper describes a development project for a formula 1 racing team which was performed at the laboratory for electrical drives and power electronics of the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg. The kernel of that project was the simulation of an electrical machine with means of a load inverter and a passive filter, so that inverters from contractors could be tested easily without using a real test bench. The whole electrical drive, consisting of the real electrical machine and the inverter is part of a hybrid drive for a formula 1 racing car which is allowed to be used from the racing season 2009.
