Analysis of the strategies for managing extended-range electric vehicle powertrain in the urban driving cycle
Introduction. An Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) is a type of electric vehicle that uses an additional internal combustion engine (ICE) to charge the battery in order to provide the vehicle with a greater range than in electric only mode. Purpose. Analysis and comparison of the performance of EREV powertrain managed according to three control strategies: pure electric mode, hybrid mode with ICE constantly working, and hybrid mode with ICE working only at high power demand. Methods. The tests were carried out using a laboratory test stand that represented the structure of EREV powertrain. Liquefied petroleum gas was used as a fuel to supply the ICE. The test conditions were defined by a special driving cycle simulating urban driving. Results. Time series plots of selected parameters of electric motor, electrochemical battery pack, range extender generator and active load system. Practical value. Among the considered control strategies of EREV powertrain, the energy balance of the electrochemical battery is negative for a purely electric mode, significantly positive for continuous range extenders (REXs) operation mode and moderately positive for the mode with REX activation only in dynamic states.Вступ. Електромобіль зі збільшеним запасом ходу (ЕЗЗХ) – це тип електромобіля, який використовує додатковий двигун внутрішнього згоряння (ДВЗ) для заряджання акумулятора, щоб забезпечити транспортний засіб більшим запасом ходу, ніж у режимі лише на електричному ходу. Мета. Аналіз та порівняння ефективності силової передачі ЕЗЗХ, керованої відповідно до трьох стратегій управління: чисто електричний режим, гібридний режим з постійно працюючим ДВЗ та гібридний режим з ДВЗ, що працює тільки при високому споживанні потужності. Методи. Випробування проводилися на лабораторному стенді, що представляє собою конструкцію силової передачі ЕЗЗХ. Скраплений газ використовувався як паливо для живлення ДВЗ. Умови випробувань визначалися спеціальним циклом водіння, що імітує водіння в умовах міста. Результати.

Серед розглянутих стратегій керування силовою установкою ЕЗЗХ, баланс енергії електрохімічної батареї негативний для чисто електричного режиму, суттєво позитивний для режиму роботи розширювачів діапазону (РД) та помірно позитивний для режиму з активацією РД лише у динамічних станах
ADM-like Hamiltonian formulation of gravity in the teleparallel geometry
We present a new Hamiltonian formulation of the Teleparallel Equivalent of
General Relativity (TEGR) meant to serve as the departure point for canonical
quantization of the theory. TEGR is considered here as a theory of a cotetrad
field on a spacetime. The Hamiltonian formulation is derived by means of an
ADM-like 3+1 decomposition of the field and without any gauge fixing. A
complete set of constraints on the phase space and their algebra are presented.
The formulation is described in terms of differential forms.Comment: 43 pages, LaTeX2e; the original 73 page paper arXiv:1111.5498v1 was

Chiral fermions and torsion in the early Universe
Torsion arising from fermionic matter in the Einstein-Cartan formulation of
general relativity is considered in the context of Robertson-Walker geometries
and the early Universe. An ambiguity in the way torsion arising from hot
fermionic matter in chiral models should be implemented is highlighted and
discussed. In one interpretation, chemical potentials in chiral models can
contribute to the Friedmann equation and give a negative contribution to the
energy density.Comment: 5 pages revtex4; error in v1 corrected

Perfect hypermomentum fluid: variational theory and equations of motion
The variational theory of the perfect hypermomentum fluid is developed. The
new type of the generalized Frenkel condition is considered. The Lagrangian
density of such fluid is stated, and the equations of motion of the fluid and
the Weyssenhoff-type evolution equation of the hypermomentum tensor are
derived. The expressions of the matter currents of the fluid (the canonical
energy-momentum 3-form, the metric stress-energy 4-form and the hypermomentum
3-form) are obtained. The Euler-type hydrodynamic equation of motion of the
perfect hypermomentum fluid is derived. It is proved that the motion of the
perfect fluid without hypermomentum in a metric-affine space coincides with the
motion of this fluid in a Riemann space.Comment: REVTEX, 23 pages, no figure
Semi-Teleparallel Theories of Gravitation
A class of theories of gravitation that naturally incorporates preferred
frames of reference is presented. The underlying space-time geometry consists
of a partial parallelization of space-time and has properties of Riemann-Cartan
as well as teleparallel geometry. Within this geometry, the kinematic
quantities of preferred frames are associated with torsion fields. Using a
variational method, it is shown in which way action functionals for this
geometry can be constructed. For a special action the field equations are
derived and the coupling to spinor fields is discussed.Comment: 14 pages, LaTe
On certain relationships between cosmological observables in the Einstein-Cartan gravity
We show that in the Einstein-Cartan gravity it is possible to obtain a
relation between Hubble's expansion and the global rotation (vorticity) of the
Universe. Gravitational coupling can be reduced to dimensionless quantity of
order unity, fixing the scalar mass density and the resulting negative
cosmological constant at spacelike infinity. Current estimates of the expansion
and rotation (see also astro-ph/9703082) of the Universe favour the massive
spinning particles as candidate particles for cold and hot dark matter. Nodland
and Ralston vorticity (Phys. Rev. Lett. 78 (1997) 3043) overestimates the value
favoured by the Einstein-Cartan gravity for three orders of magnitude.Comment: 7 pages, LaTeX styl
Gravitational Lorentz Force and the Description of the Gravitational Interaction
In the context of a gauge theory for the translation group, we have obtained,
for a spinless particle, a gravitational analog of the Lorentz force. Then, we
have shown that this force equation can be rewritten in terms of magnitudes
related to either the teleparallel or the riemannian structures induced in
spacetime by the presence of the gravitational field. In the first case, it
gives a force equation, with torsion playing the role of force. In the second,
it gives the usual geodesic equation of General Relativity. The main conclusion
is that scalar matter is able to feel anyone of the above spacetime geometries,
the teleparallel and the metric ones. Furthermore, both descriptions are found
to be completely equivalent in the sense that they give the same physical
trajectory for a spinless particle in a gravitational field.Comment: Equations (44)-(47) correcte
Big bounce from spin and torsion
The Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory of gravity naturally extends general
relativity to account for the intrinsic spin of matter. Spacetime torsion,
generated by spin of Dirac fields, induces gravitational repulsion in fermionic
matter at extremely high densities and prevents the formation of singularities.
Accordingly, the big bang is replaced by a bounce that occurred when the energy
density was on the order of (in
natural units), where is the fermion number density and is
the number of thermal degrees of freedom. If the early Universe contained only
the known standard-model particles (), then the energy density at
the big bounce was about 15 times larger than the Planck energy. The minimum
scale factor of the Universe (at the bounce) was about times smaller
than its present value, giving \approx 50 \mum. If more fermions existed in
the early Universe, then the spin-torsion coupling causes a bounce at a lower
energy and larger scale factor. Recent observations of high-energy photons from
gamma-ray bursts indicate that spacetime may behave classically even at scales
below the Planck length, supporting the classical spin-torsion mechanism of the
big bounce. Such a classical bounce prevents the matter in the contracting
Universe from reaching the conditions at which a quantum bounce could possibly
occur.Comment: 6 pages; published versio
