Towards Synergizing International Collaboration on Plug-In Electric Vehicles

促进插电式电动汽车的国际合作第1部分：该项目旨在启动美国马里兰大学学院公园分校(UMD)和土耳其伊斯坦布尔技术大学(ITU)在下一代插电式电动汽车领域的双边国际研究合作。申请的资金将用于支持国际电联及其马里兰大学的研究生访问国际电联小组及其设施。国际电联正在进行的关于增加插电式电动汽车技术能力的研究将大大受益于国际电联新建立的最先进的汽车中心测试平台，这些平台目前在UMN还不存在，是国际电联研究实验需求所必需的。国际电联在电动和混合动力车辆高效控制方面的专业知识也将是UMD小组的宝贵资源。这次访问将帮助两个团队确定如何制定合作计划，并确定如何利用两个团队的互补技能进行计划中的研究。此次访问还将帮助美国团队熟悉国际电信联盟S机电一体化教育和研究中心(MERC)和先进车辆技术和研究中心(AVTRC)的复杂平台和设备。此外，该项目将为这名美国学生提供一个独特的国际研究机会，他将在PI回国后与国际电联团队一起工作一个月。这一延长的逗留时间将为学生提供一些接触新文化的机会，以及在合作的国际研究环境中的经验。第二部分：该项目将为未来的国际合作铺平道路，以实现下一代插电式电动汽车的电力电子接口和变速驱动的控制、建模和设计方面的重大突破。它将在两个主要领域扩大马里兰大学和伊斯坦布尔技术大学在交通运输电气化方面的研究和教育活动：(A)设计和控制各种推进机器的变速驱动，包括感应电机和永磁同步电机；(B)实时实施和验证车载集成充电器的可行方法和实用途径。曼彻斯特大学和国际电联的研究小组打算改进和加强这一协作努力，同时开展其他规模更大的协作多学科研究工作，例如通过IRES和IRE提案。

Towards Synergizing International Collaboration on Plug-In Electric VehiclesPart 1:This project aims to initiate a bilateral, international research collaboration between researchers from the University of Maryland at College Park (UMD), Maryland, USA and the Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Istanbul, Turkey in the area of next generation plug-in electric vehicles. The requested funding will support the PI and his graduate student from University of Maryland to visit the ITU team and their facilities. The PI's ongoing research on the increased technical capabilities of plug-in electric vehicles will benefit significantly from ITU's newly established, state-of-the-art automotive center test platforms, which currently do not exist at UMN, and are required for the experimentation needs of the PI's research. ITU's expertise in high-efficiency control of electric and hybrid vehicles would also be a valuable resource for the UMD team. The visit will serve the two teams to determine how to device a collaboration plan, and determine how the complementary skills of the two teams could be exploited for the planned research. The visit will also help the US team to gain familiarity with the sophisticated platforms and equipment at the ITU?s Mechatronics Education and Research Center (MERC) and Advanced Vehicle Technologies and Research Center (AVTRC). In addition, the project will offer a unique international research opportunity to the US student, who will work with the ITU team for a month, after the return of the PI. This extended stay will provide the student with some exposure to a new culture, as well as experience in a collaborative international research environment. Part 2:The project will pave a path for future international collaborations to achieve major breakthroughs in control, modeling and design of power electronics interfaces and adjustable speed drives for the next generation of plug-in electric vehicles. It will extend the research and educational activities in transportation electrification at the University of Maryland and the Istanbul Technical University in two main areas: (a) design and control of adjustable speed drives for various propulsion machines including induction machines and permanent magnet synchronous machines; and (b) feasible methodologies and practical approaches for real-time implementation and validation of onboard integrated chargers. It is the intention of the UMN and ITU research teams to improve and strengthen this collaborative effort with the development of other collaborative multidisciplinary research efforts of much larger scale, such as through IRES and PIRE proposals.
