The project will show it is feasibly to unlock the theoretical potential of innovative Free Piston Engine (FPE)technology to deliver increased efficiency and significanly reduced CO2 emissions for hybrid electric vehicles.Free Piston Engines are disruptive technology offering the potential of a 30% efficiency improvement overconventional reciprocating engine based range extenders but until now this has largely only been shownthrough simulation and desk-based analysis.This project will demonstrate the feasibility of FPE technology for vehicle range extender applications by:• Development of an FPE control strategy that delivers the high efficiency and low CO2 emissions• Specification and design of an innovative power electronics drive for controlling and optimising theelectrical energy generation from FPE linear motor/generators• identifying the most appropriate vehicle applications and the market potential for FPE range-extenders

该项目将证明，释放创新的自由活塞发动机（FPE）技术的理论潜力是可行的，该技术可以提高混合动力电动汽车的效率，并显著减少二氧化碳排放。自由活塞发动机是一项颠覆性的技术，与传统的往复式发动机相比，它的效率有可能提高30%，但到目前为止，这在很大程度上只是通过仿真和基于桌面的分析来证明的。该项目将通过以下方式证明FPE技术在汽车增程器应用中的可行性：•开发一种FPE控制策略，提供高效率和低二氧化碳排放•规范和设计一种创新的电力电子驱动器，用于控制和优化FPE直线电机/发电机的电能生成•确定最合适的车辆应用和FPE增程器的市场潜力
