System level parametric design of hybrid electric vehicles involves estimation of the power ratings as well as the values of certain parameters of the components , given the values of the performance parameters . The design is based on certain mathematical equations or design rules , which relate the component parameters and the performance parameters . The flow of the design algorithm is uni -directional and fixed , and cannot be altered .
This thesis proposes a new method for such parametric design , called omni - directional design , which does not have a fixed sequence like the conventional design , but can start with any parameters of the designer s choice . The designer is also able to specify the input parameters over a range , instead of a point (one , fixed value ) input . Scenarios having a point input , but values of an output which can vary over a range for the point input , can also be studied . |
