The potential of the turbogenerator-based power-train for hybrid vehicles is described. Data from a small gas turbine, a prototype high-speed generator and an advanced lead-acid battery pack show that the ‘turboelectric’ concept is feasible and can provide a viable road transport solution which will comply with the stringent environmental legislation. The simulation results show improved overall vehicle efficiencies due to the implementation of regenerative braking capability. Most importantly the lean combustion of the gas-turbine engine with a suitable energy control strategy can provide lower emissions than ultra-low-emission vehicle (ULEV) limits, while an acceptable zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) driving range can be achieved for city centres.
