Abstract

Recently, series-hybrid drivetrains are given more emphasis over parallel-hybrid drivetrains due to their simplicity, freedom in implementation and higher efficiency. However, the modeling phase of such machines takes either long calculation time with numerical methods such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or produces low accurate results with Magnetic Equivalent Circuit (MEC) models. In this paper a method is used to build a reluctance network where high accuracy is obtained yet still with acceptable calculation time.
