Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Manufacturing Research (ICMR2013), Cranfield University, UK, 19th – 20th September 2013, pp 33-389781907413230http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/9424Based on a comprehensive prototype, the researchers at the Otto von Guericke University systematically investigate components and system solutions within a project regarding the interplay of electric vehicles and range extenders. In consideration of the electric vehicle, named Editha, different operating strategies for the use of range extenders in the predominant application field of electric mobility were tested. The principal objectives of the project are to determine appropriate operating strategies for the use of a range extender and operating characteristics for an optimal system configuration of existing or future engine technology in combination with the respective generator technology. Thus, sensible and expedient combinatorics with regard to weight and performance criteria arises. This project aims at gaining an overall understanding of the interplay between automotive and alternative energy generation based on the prototype and the exemplary design of both power trains.ene-mobilityrange extenderoperating strategiesConference paper
