Armored vehicle power storage device diagram

What solutions are available for armored vehicles?

Our solutions for both wheeled and tracked armored vehicles range from: Power Management Systems, Battery Monitoring Systems, and Power Distribution Units up to Customized Power Systems.

What types of energy storage systems do military vehicles need?

Chemical batteries, supercapacitors, flywheels, and fuel cells are potential candidates for the energy storage system . The critical operations of military vehicles present unique requirements for the energy storage system because it requires high energy capacity as well as high power capability .

Can electric drives be used in armored vehicles?

Discussion The implementation of electric drives on modern armored vehicles is possible because of fully reversible, motor/generators. The best available now are the axial flux permanent magnet motor/generators. They obtain very high instantaneous torque at zero or low rpm. This fact is ideal for heavy vehicles.

Is hybrid energy storage a good option for military vehicles?

As given in Table 3, the hybrid energy storage provides a maximum power that is 53% more than the battery of the series configuration. This high maximum power capacity offers the potential to incorporate additional auxiliary devices in a military vehicle that require high instantaneous power.

Can a hybrid power pack be used for heavy tanks?

This study shows a possible design of a serial hybrid electric power pack for very heavy tanks with a weight well over 50 tons. The result is a hybrid power system that improves the overall performance of armored vehicles off-road and on-road, improving the acceleration and the smoothness of the ride.

Do Army HEV demonstration vehicles have an electric drivetrain?

If the existing army HEV demonstration vehicles lack an energy storage unit, they can only work in engine mode. These authors refer to these kinds of vehicles as having an electric drivetrain rather than an HE (Hybrid Electric) drivetrain. In this paper, “electric drivetrains” and HEV are both called HEV.
