Abstract
At the time of this writing, increasing pressure for fuel efficient passenger vehicles has prompted automotive manufactures to invest in the research and development of electrically propelled vehicles. This includes vehicles of strictly electric drive and hybrid electric vehicles with internal combustion engines. \nTo investigate some of the many technological innovations possible with electric power trains, the AUTO21 network of centres of excellence funded project E301-EHV; a project to convert a Chrysler Pacifica into a hybrid electric vehicle. The converted vehicle is intended for use as a test-bed in the research and development of a variety of advances pertaining to electric propulsion. Among these advances is hybrid energy storage, the focus of this investigation. \nA key difficulty of electric propulsion is the portable storage or provision of electricity, challenges are twofold; (1) achieving sufficient energy capacity for long distance driving and (2) ample power delivery to sustain peak driving demands. Where gasoline is highly energy dense and may be burned at nearly any rate, storing large quantities of electrical energy and supplying it at high rate prove difficult. Furthermore, the demands of regenerative braking require the storage system to undergo frequent current reversals, reducing the service life of some electric storage systems. \nA given device may be optimized for one of either energy storage or power delivery, at the sacrifice of the other. A hybrid energy storage system (HESS) attempts to address the storage needs of electric vehicles by combining two of the most popular storage technologies; lithium ion batteries, ideal for high energy capacity, and ultracapacitors, ideal for high power discharge and frequent cycles. \nTwo types of HESS are investigated in this study; one using energy-dense lithium ion batteries paired with ultracapacitors and the other using energy-dense lithium ion batteries paired with ultra high powered batteries. These two systems are compared against a control system using only batteries. Three sizes of each system are specified with equal volume in each size. They are compared for energy storage, energy efficiency, vehicle range, mass and relative demand fluctuation when simulated for powering a model Pacifica through each of five different drive cycles. \n \nIt is shown that both types of HESS reduce vehicle mass and demand fluctuation compared to the control. Both systems have reduced energy efficiency. In spite of this, a battery-battery system increases range with greater storage capacity, but battery-capacitor systems have reduced range. \nIt is suggested that further work be conducted to both optimize the design of the hybrid storage systems, and improve the control scheme allocating power demand across the two energy sources.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
