Abstract
A Starter/Alternator (S/A) has been developed at Ford Research
laboratories for hybrid electric vehicle applications. During
development, the vehicle concept of operation and the system
performance requirements were used to select the proper
technology.
The specification development, component selection and subsystem
operation process is described. Subsystem performance and vehicle
fuel economy are compared and evaluated using hybrid vehicle
simulation analysis. These results can be used to identify
potential subsystem modifications and alternative vehicle control
strategies.
