  Low carbon and zero carbon technology paths and key technologies of ICEs under the background of carbon neutrality SHUAI Shijin, WANG Zhi, MA Xiao, XU Hongming, HE Xin, WANG Jianxin Journal of Automotive Safety and Energy    2021, 12 (4): 417-439.   doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8484.2021.04.001 Abstract （5020）   HTML （627）    PDF （4021KB）（3463）       Knowledge map    Since China promised to “reach the carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060” at the 75th United Nations General Assembly in September 2020, the Paris Agreement signed by major countries and regions in 2016 has controlled the rise of global temperature and accelerated carbon neutrality policies and actions. As the leading power of a large number of road and non-road mobile machinery and national defense equipment, internal combustion engine (ICE) not only undertakes the important mission of energy saving and emission reduction in the near and medium term, but also faces great challenges and important opportunities on how to achieve carbon neutrality in the future. Based on the analysis of carbon neutrality policies and actions in major European countries, America, Japan and China, this paper puts forward two technical paths and their feasibility of low-carbon and zero carbon of ICE in the near and medium term, as well as the key technologies to be solved for zero carbon ICE fueled by biomass fuel, green hydrogen, green ammonia and green electricity synthesized fuel (e-fuel). It aims to explore the road of sustainable development for the future of ICE. Existing research shows that ICE, as an efficient and high power density thermal engine for converting chemical energy into mechanical energy, still has a large room for energy saving through the combination of electrification and intelligent technologies. Compared with fuel cell power, ICE has a more complete industrial chain, higher technical maturity and lower cost. By utilizing zero carbon fuels, ICE can still be widely used in large-scale power equipment such as heavy trucks, construction machinery, ships and aviation, so as to promote the early realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality in China’s energy and transportation field.

A displacement sensor was used to measure the valve lift and intake efficiency of FVVS with an intake flow-meter used to measure the air inflow of the unthrottled gasoline engines. The movement characteristics of the intake valve were analyzed according to the test results, with the adjustments of the intake air volume by FVVS being discussed. The results show that the fully variable valve system enables the maximum valve lift and opening duration to continuously vary in a large range, so the intake air inflow can be controlled though timing and early intake valve closing or late intake valve closing.

  Research progress of high efficient and clean combustion of automotive gasoline engines WANG Jianxin, WANG Zhi Journal of Automotive Safety and Energy    2010, 1 (3): 167-178.   doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8484.2010.03.001 Abstract （3134）      PDF （2466KB）（3420）       Knowledge map    This paper illustrates the development of Chinese automotive industry and the evolvement of related energy and emission regulations in the decade 2000—2009. It points out that the importance of energy-saving will exceed the problem of pollution. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) and downsizing are the main two approaches for low fuel consumption.The downsizing technology for port fuel injection (PFI) gasoline engines has an advantage of low cost, while the downsizing technology for GDI engines has a better fuel economy. The 2nd generation of GDI engines with stoichiometric combustion has a limited potential of low fuel consumption. The 3rd generation of GDI engine should solve three problems, including knock at high compression ratio, combustion stability in exhaust diluted atmosphere, and particulate matters formation in stratified mixture. Homogeneous charge compression ignition ( HCCI) is an ideal combustion mode for energy-saving and emission reduction of gasoline engines. Gasoline/diesel dual-fuel combustion can reach the highest benefit on fuel consumption, providing the possibility for unification of gasoline engines and diesel engines in the future.

The battery capacity and internal resistance were used to compare the model structure and the chemical meaning of eigen-parameters of two basic approaches; one is the identification of specific parameters based on the Equivalent Circuit Model (ECM) in the time domain and the other is Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) analysis in the frequency domain. The results show that the common inherent conflict between the nonlinearity of batteries and the linearization of the identification algorithm constrains the development of lithium-ion battery in EV. Therefore, proposals such as aging mechanism, new life modeling approach, hardware structures and algorithm improvement are given to resolve the difficulties encountered in the implementation of battery life estimation online for lithium-ion systems.

A two-wheel vehicle model as a reference model was built to improve the performance and the practicality of two-dimensional motion control for electric vehicle in-wheel motors. The traction control was based on Maximum Transmissible Torque Estimation (MTTE) for constraining the slip effectively to increase the longitudinal friction force and lateral friction force, but also could provide some additional information on tire-road conditions. A new DYC topology was proposed based on MTTE for electric vehicles. The comparative numerical simulation of the whole control system between the normal DYC and the DYC enhanced by MTTE demonstrated the advantages of the proposed control strategy.

  Simulation and Experiment on Air-Cooled Thermal Energy Management of Lithium-Ion Power Batteries ZHANG Jiangyun, ZHANG Guoqing, ZHANG Lei, RAO Zhonghao Journal of Automotive Safety and Energy    2011, 2 (2): 181-184.   doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8484.2011.02.012 Abstract （2907）      PDF （1477KB）（2541）       Knowledge map     The air-cooled methods were used for cooling commercial LiFePO4 batteries to illustrate the effect of heat transfer enhancement. The commercial LiFePO4 batteries were tested at 15-35 A. The temperature distribution in a single battery was numerical ly simulated according to the experiment al data. Air flow across two and three batteries was simulated to illustrate the air-cooled effect. Experiment al and simulation results show that air-coola has a positive significance for the battery thermal management at discharging currents of 0-30 A. For discharging currents less than 30 A, the peak temperature in batteries is less than 50 ℃, while the temperature difference between batteries is still more than 5 ℃. When the discharging current is higher than 30 A, air-cooling for batteries and battery packs can not guarantee evenly temperature distribution, not being able to meet the regui re ment of batteriy heat dissipation.

  Suggestion for Making Rapid Advances in Automotive Safety in China Albert I. KING Journal of Automotive Safety and Energy    2010, 1 (1): 1-5.   doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8484.2010.01.001 Abstract （2849）      PDF （1498KB）（1920）       Knowledge map    In order to make rapid advances in automotive safety in China, it is critical that safety engineers designing future vehicles in China should take bold and radical action to skip over the many steps undertaken by previous designers in the process of coming up with a modern and safe vehicle. The current trend of working towards meeting safety standards and relying on anthropomorphic test devices (ATD’s), such as the Hybrid III dummy, as the only guide will inevitably lead to a slow path of progress towards a safer vehicle followed by designers in Europe and the US in the past. This process can be accelerated considerably if the ATD is replaced by a computer model of the human and all designs are based on computer simulations. This will result in a much faster design cycle and a vehicle that is truly safe for the human occupant. Safety standards can still be met through a final crash test involving ATD’s.

  Present and Future of Premixed Compression Ignition Engines Hongming XU Journal Of Automotive Safety And Energy    2012, 3 (3): 185-199.   doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8484.2012.03.001 Abstract （2735）      PDF （3466KB）（3520）       Knowledge map    Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) was perhaps the most attractive topic during the last decade for engine combustion researchers so was subsequently investigated more intensively than other engine technologies. Its application has stagnated at the present but its derivatives such as partially premixed compression ignition (PPCI) still remain as promising alternatives to the conventional combustion systems. This paper presents an overview of the research on HCCI and its derivatives and it also provides a future outlook of the next generation of new combustion systems in relation to the concept of premixed compression ignition. It is believed that multiple injections of multiple fuels using even higher compression ratios combined with boosting will be the way forwards for high efficiency engines and this development trend will likely lead to merging of diesel and gasoline engine technologies using premixed compression ignition.
